Kitsu Koichi

Kitsu Koichi was a shugenja of the Lion Clan. During the years immediately prior to the Clan War Koichi demonstrated that he was able to draw forth spirits from Toshigoku, even in areas where the boundaries between the Spirit Realms were stable. Soon after, one of the elite Sodan Senzo also displayed similar abilities. Ultimately a total of twelve shugenja were discovered among the Kitsu who could achieve the same effects, and they founded the Kitsu Spirit Legion.
