Hida Kuroda (II)

Hida Kuroda was a Crab Clan samurai and sumai. Kuroda was sent to Winter Court in Kyuden Kakita shortly before the Scorpion Coup. While at Kyuden Kakita Kuroda was constantly humiliated by Kakita Ichiro. Ichiro tricked Kuroda into joining a poetry contest and making snow-dragons with old maids in a garden. Finally, Kuroda won a wrestling tournament. Enjoying his victory, Kuroda gloated to Ichiro. Ichiro only smiled as a Seppun guardsman escorted Kuroda to Hantei XXXVIII, where Kuroda was expected to perform a bugaku dance in front of the enitre court. Kuroda bemoaned his fate, as Kuroda had no experience as a dancer.
