Otomo Yasuyo

Otomo Yasuyo was a manipulator and sensei of the Imperial Families. Her pupil Otomo Koji was sent to the Ministry of Protocols under the wing of Seppun Izo. Koji deliberately sent late reports, and Izo was forced to discharge him, being replaced by Doji Kakyou. The Crane appeared to be mostly competent for the next several weeks, until he began to fail at his duties, and was replaced in turn. Kakyyou had been undermined by many of the men of his department, who had been appointed personally by Izo. The Crane Clan lose face, as devised by Koji and Yasuyo. Koji was eventually sent to Ryoko Owari to fail again as overseer of several departments there.
