Hitoshi

Hida Hitoshi was the eighth child of Hida Kazuki. Six of Kazuki's seven older children had died tragically fighting the Shadowlands, and Kazuki had no desire to see his youngest child suffer an ill fate. After Hitoshi's gempukku, Kazuki ordered Hitoshi to become a monk. Hitoshi did so, bitterly, and ashamed of his father.

While Hitoshi resented his life's path at first, he came to quickly understand his innate power with the element of earth. In a short time Hitoshi became an Acolyte of Earth. There were many, though, who wondered if Hitoshi had ever given up his desire to avenge his siblings.
