Yoritomo Kamoto

Yoritomo Kamoto was one of the oldest living students of Dojo Raiden.

Studies
As a child Kamoto showed enthusiasm, but little promise in either the martial nor merchant arts. The sensei at the dojo did not know what to do with the child who barely passed his gempukku, and Kamoto had to beg his sensei to let him show he was worthy of serving his lord. As an act of kindness he was sent to serve a small mercenary band, the Gray Wave, working for the Crane.

Clan War
Soon after joining the mercenaries the Clan War erupted, and the band went into action. One night and undead Crab force ambushed the unit. Their captain was killed and the rest were nearly routed, but Kamoto miracously rallied the unit and led them to victory. His talent for small unit tactics had now awakened, and he led the wave to several more victories.

Toturi the Black
During the war when Toturi the Black called out for ronin to join him Kamoto and the Gray Wave joined, serving loyally for years.

Returning Home
It was not until after the Battle of Oblivion's Gate that Kamoto returned home to the Islands of Spice and Silk. He was given a heros welcome by Yoritomo Aramasu, and made daimyo of a small province in the southern reaches of the islands.

Dojo
He would still visit his dojo, striving to master the final technique. While there he would scrupulously avoid any discussions about current politics, and he did not approve of Yoritomo Kitao when she seized power. He would of course never say anything against her though.
