Hotta

Hotta was a bushi and yoriki of Chikuzen, in the Tsume lands. He was of simple speech, and appreciated by the citizens. Hotta reported directly to the Tsume Daimyo Tsume Retsu, although they had not much contact. Tsume had little interested in their farmers as long as they payed their taxes on time. Hotta had secretly hopes that Retsu's son and heir, Tsume Takashi, would have more interest than his father.
