Akodo Toturi

Had one brother, Akodo Arasou The Lion Clan Champion before the Scorpion Clan Coup. Was not present when Hantei XXXVIII was assasinated and when the son of the emperor was believed dead Toturi claimed the throne to stop bickering between the other clans. When Hantei XXXVIIII returned alive Toturi immediately abdicated, but under the influence of Bayushi Kachiko's manipulation the new emperor decided to dishonor Toturi and the Akodo name. Toturi the Black roamed Rokugan gathering followers. He was the Lion Clan Thunder on the Second Day of Thunder in 1128 After the death of Hantei XXXVIIII he was proclaimed the new emperor, Toturi I. He married Isawa Kaede Events occured whcih were later known as The Hiddden Emperor Saga which resulted in Toturi committing seppuku. He returned through Oblivion's Gate during the battle there. Kaede then bore him three children, The eldest, a daughter, Toturi Tsudao, the eldest son, Toturi Sezaru and the youngest, another son, Toturi Naseru. At this point his illegitimate son, Kaneka stood forward. He was the son of the geisha Hatsuko who was the reason he had not been present at the Scorpion Clan Coup. It was on his way to Kaneka to tell him he was going to publicly recognize him as his son that Toturi's caravan was attacked by Fushin, the Onisu of Betrayal and thus the death of Toturi I.
