Otaku Kamoko

Kamoko's Early Life
Otaku Kamoko's mother (also named Kamoko) was seemingly slain by the Lion Clan cavalry commander Matsu Agetoki, and her daughter devoted her life to tracking down Agetoki and finding the truth behind the killing. She eventually was joined on her quest by Iuchi Karasu, also known as the Doomseeker, and it was while with him she first heard of the mysterious Kolat.

Unicorn Thunder
Kamoko was the Unicorn Clan Thunder on the Second Day of Thunder in 1128 and rode down the Dark Moto Moto Tsume in the assault on Otosan Uchi. During the attack on Fu Leng Kamoko was the first to attack the Dark God, but her reckless attack resulted in her being knocked out and almost killed very quickly into the fight.

Toturi Discovered
In 1132, Toturi is found shackled and beaten in the ruins of Morikage Toshi by Unicorn scouts. The forest and castle was filled with apparitions of ghosts and shadows the Naga called The Foul. The truth was revealed that Toturi had been held by the Lying Darkness which was trying to allow the Empire to fall into chaos. The Unicorn, led by Otaku Kamoko bring the weak and sickened Emperor back to Otosan Uchi, igniting a small flame of hope in a dark Empire. (3E p. 22)

It was also during this time that Kamoko finally caught up with whom she thought was her mother's killer, Matsu Agetoki, who claimed it was in truth the Kolat and their machinations. She slew Agetoki, though honored him, as he had finally given her the knowledge she needed to find peace with her mother's death. (Flavor text on Bells of the Dead, DJH)

The Sacrifice of Kamoko
Otaku Kamoko made a bargain with Kyoso No Oni so she could lead the Dark Moto to their destruction in 1133. She let the oni lord into her body so that it would appear to the shadowlands horde that she was tainted, all the while remaining pure. When the right time came, Kamoko managed to get close enough to Moto Tsume for Kyoso No Oni to destroy him. As she lay dying at the hands of Moto Tsume, Kyoso No Oni offered her a bargain to join the lost and she refused.As a reward for her sacrifice, Lady Shinjo put her among the stars and commanded the Otaku family to change their name to Utaku so Kamoko would be the last Battle Maiden to bear the Otaku name.
