Tohaku

She turned her attention to Tohaku in an attempt to make Motso jealous. Tohaku rebuffed her and she felt insulted. Motso didn't sem to care.

Tohaku was framed for the theft of certian items from his lords home by Yuyiko and Motso's advisor. He was cast out as a traitor. Tohaku wanted Motso head for his arrogance and stupidity.

His friend Togashi Mitsu came to Tohaku and told him to replace anger with enlightenment. Mitsu took Tohaku to Togashi mountian to learn the daisho technique. The teachings helped him not and Mitsu had to seal Tohaku in a cave until he calmed down. Tohaku knows revenge is not the answer but he not sure if he can really find enlightenment but he is going to try. (Wolf p. 75-76)
