The Grey Crane

A short-lived alias of the Crane samurai Kakita Toshimoko following the disappearance of Emperor Toturi I in 1130. Toshimoko faked his death, having pretended to jump off a cliff into the sea, leaving a final note and letter of appology behind.

As the Grey Crane he travelled Rokugan, always masked, and attempted to follow any leads that might help him to discover the fate of Toturi. It is unclear how much his efforts lead to the later discovery of the Emperor in 1132 by a group of Unicorn scouts led by Otaku Kamoko and Otaku Xieng Chi. He had been bound by agents of the Lying Darkness and imprisoned within the cursed city of Morikage Toshi.
