Yoritomo Katoa

Yoritomo Katoa is in the unfortunate situation of being a pirate in the Imperial Court. A gambler and a brute by nature his position in the court was suppose to represent Yoritomo Kitao. Unfortunatly for Katoa, Yoritomo Kumiko had claimed the championship by the time he arrived.

Early is his career he was generally lazy and a trouble maker but found his way into sailing. However he was well on his way to possiably being the worst sailor in the Empire. He disliked sailing intensly, and preffered to spend his time drinking and gambling, the idea of long cargo runs bored him.

All that changed when he met Yoritomo Kitao, who introduced him to piracy. This was his true calling in life, and he did very well in the business. He became a close ally of Kitao, and was one of the few people aware of the true fate of Yoritomo Aramasu.

When the Miya restarted the imperial court, he intercepted the call for a Mantis diplomat and went himself. He has been miserable ever since, but he maintains a token effort so as not to encourage Kumiko to replace him.
