War Against Fu Leng
During the War Against Fu Leng Akodo's wife, Nisiko, was sequestered by the enemy. Akodo rushed and managed to arrive to her side, fleeing to a house near the River of the Drowned Merchant. Akodo's heir was born there, and with him was the future of the Lion Clan. Kitsu, two of his sons and one daughter left themselves behind to cover their Lord's escape.

Death
Kitsu walked across the stream and into the field of battle alone, but beside him fought the souls of every man that had fallen to Fu Leng's evil power. This same day Shinden Shorai was founded.
