Shrine of the Emerald Champion

The Shrine of the Emerald Champion was built to honor Kakita, regarded as the first Emerald Champion, at the tournament fields where he defeated Matsu, near Dark Edge Village.

Statues
Behind the shrine were three statues, Kakita, Osano-Wo, and Hantei, all facing in the direction of Otosan Uchi. There were scores of smaller shrines at the feet of these statues, all dedicated to the memories of Emerald Champions since Kakita, with statues representing the latest four Emerald Champions, Doji Satsume, Kakita Toshimoko, Seppun Toshiken, and Yasuki Hachi.
