Otaku Masero

Masero was a stable boy, only a few years past twelve, working for the Stable Master Otaku Kojiro. Masero was present at the death of the mare Kouchi, who had been the favourite mare of Otaku Kamoko, during giving birth. The foal was believed to be stillborne until a twelve year old girl, the daughter of Kamoko, breathed life into the foal. Masero alerted Kojiro and the visiting Iuchi Daiyu, and Daiyu declared the foal's mark on it's ankle to be an omen of war but not death.
