Akodo Ikasu

Akodo Ikasu was the Lion Clan Champion at the time of the Return of the Ki-Rin.

Return of the Ki-Rin
In 815, after the Return of the Ki-Rin, Ikasu refused to accept the returned Unicorn Clan as an equal, ordering his armies to block the Unicorn from returning to their ancestral lands, which the Lion had controlled for centuries. He also attacked the Unicorn in the courts, and Ikoma Shabiku, the Ikoma Daimyo, claimed the Unicorn were using dishonorable methods and tactics. In 816 the Emperor Hantei XXII issued the Imperial Edict that commanded to cease the war against the Unicorn, and Ikasu accepted his command instead to commit kanshi in response. The Lion swore to never forget the slights done to them by the returning Unicorn.
