Asahina Nizomi

Asahina Nizomi is the offspring of Naka Tokei, the Grand Master of the Elements he brought with him from his travel through the spirit realms. Apparently his soul split in two to cope with the Grand Master's experiences, and incarnated into this new being. It was believed that one of the two would embody the evil and insanity that Tokei would have fallen prey to if Nizomi had not come into being, but so far this fear has failed to materialise.

Appearance
Nizomi has eerie, cat-like golden eyes that belie his otherworldly intelligence, but otherwise appears normal for his age.

Prodigy
Nizomi was given into the custody of the Asahina family. Asahina Sekawa personally supervised his instruction. He has shown an affinity for Fire that is unusual for Asahina shugenja, and has perfect memory of all events since his appearance in Rokugan.

Together with his father Naka Tokei and his uncle, the Ox daimyo Morito, he was able to overwhelm the onisu Hakai, a deed that fills his teacher Sekawa with mixed feelings.
