Kakita Ryurai

Kakita Ryurai was a duelist of the Crane Clan.

Suitor
Ryurai was a student of the Akodo War College, where she met a nice samurai-ko, Ikoma Nidoko. Another suitor, Matsu Okujo, challenged him fot Nidoko's favors, but Ryurai surrendered without fight.

Death
Later at Otosan Uchi Ruyurai met again with Nidoko, so he continued to pursue his romance with Nidoko. This time the duel with Okujo happened and despite Ryurai's superior skill the Lion struck him down.

Nidoko's fate
Nidoko time later abandoned Okujo, and rumors of a samurai in the Phoenix lands matching her description, carrying a baby and traveling with a Crane samurai, abounded.
