Daidoji Tojo

Daidoji Tojo was a duelist of the Crane Clan

Hantei XVI's Advisor
Tojo, heir to a prominent seat on the Daidoji Trading Council, was a childhood confidant of Hantei XV's heir, Hantei Okucheo. When Okucheo became the Emperor Hantei XVI he called Tojo and five other of his closest childhood friends move to Otosan Uchi.

Emperor's Paranoia
In 593 Tojo's father died in the autumn. Tojo returned to the Crane lands to take up his father's position as daimyo and senior member of the Daidoji Trading Council. In 594 Tojo staged a power-play within Crane lands to attack and discredit a childhood rival within the Trading Council. It derailed plans the Emperor had been orchestrating for years, and betrays the Emperor's trust.

Death
Daidoji Tojo was discovered to be guilty of crimes against the Empire, with evidence supplied by Hantei XVI's trusted advisors Akodo Tsuriken and Shosuro Tsia, and was hanged. His entire family committed seppuku to erase the shame on their name.
