Daidoji Kikaze

Daidoji Kikaze is a man of many talents, and the son of Daidoji Rekai and Daidoji Kyobu.

Father
It is unknown how old Kikaze was when his father was killed at the Battle of Oblivion's Gate, but he had been born prior to then.

Shiro Giji
Kikaze was trained by the Daidoji Harriers at Shiro Giji. In 1151 he sent a letter to his mother, Daidoji Rekai, congratulating her on her appointment as Daidoji Daimyo. He declined her offer to join her at Shiro Daidoji, as the danger of the Harriers being discovered prevented her having any contact with him.

Daimyo
Kikaze became the Daidoji Daimyo after his mother became corrupted in 1164.

Hare Clan
Shiro Usagi was attacked by a bloodspeaker army led by Jama Suru following the return of Iuchiban and the Rain of Blood in 1165. Usagi Ozaki sent his son Usagi Kashira to gather allies, and the day was saved when Kashira returned with the Daidoji Kikaze and the Crane Clan cavalry.

Battle of the Tomb of the Seven Thunders
Kikaze was a part of the group that entered the Shadowlands in 1168 to save the Emperor Toturi III. His mother, now Daigotsu Rekai, was also there, and Kikaze attempted to kill her, but failed.

Disbanding the Harriers
During their war with the Dragon Clan, Kikaze was ordered by Crane Clan Champion Doji Domotai to answer for the amount of food being consumed at Shiro Giji. Kikaze informed Domotai about the existance of the Daidoji Harriers, and Domotai was outraged. Domotai ordered Kikaze to disband the harriers immediately. Kikaze was so infuriated at Domotai's request that he almost attacked her.

Killing the Traitor
Kikaze began investigating the Harriers, which led him to his former hatamoto Daidoji Shihei who had been falsifying his orders. Kikaze confronted Shihei, and killed the man.

Winter Court - 1170
As a punishment from Doji Domotai, Kikaze was sent to spend the Winter Court in 1170 in Kyuden Ikoma. While he was there the Crab courtier Yasuki Jinn-Kuen constantly attempted to bait him, but Kikaze resisted the mans attempts.
