Doji Yujiro (II)

Doji Yujiro was a bushi of the Crane Clan.

Madness
Trained in the Kakita Bushi school, Yujiro was named after the bushi for whom Ookami Toshi was named. Yujiro believed the original Yujiro was his ancestor, although his family recognized that the man was mad. They dealed with his eccentricity ignoring him and making certain he was not given enough true responsibility to harm anyone else. Yujiro was appointed as governor of Ookami Toshi, a well-defended city of the southern Doji provinces of no importance.

Possesed
The governor was not mad. The orioginal Doji Yujiro truly possessed him, as many of his predecessors. It had led to the family's reputation for eccentricity. The spirit's greatest task, the assassination in the 8th century of honorless Matsu Kaoru, was never accomplished and thus each time Kaoru was reincarnated, Yujiro returned as well.
