Shiba Katsuda (I) TCG

Shiba Katsuda was the Lord of Nikesake.

Family
Katsuda was married with Shiba Chisei, and the couple bore a daughter, Shiba Itsuyo.

Wedding at Kyotei Castle
In 1123 Itsuyo moved to Kyotei Castle to wed Doji Takashi, the Tsume Daimyō, as part of a political arrangement with the Crane Clan, devised by Nasu Shizuma, Takashi's chief advisor. Nikesake was once threatened by Takashi’s father, and with their daughter's hand, they would do more for the peace of Golden Valley than they had been able to accomplish in decades.

Itsuyo becomes the Tsume Daimyō
Before the wedding a plot framed by Akodo Maeda was exposed by a group of samurai, and the Damasu Daimyō was slain in the process. Maeda had been the last member of the defunct Damasu family, former owners of the Kyotei Castle. Raised as a geisha, Maeda was lover to Takashi, and eventually she killed his father Doji Retsu as a revenge of her family's demise. Heartbroken at being united with his former lover only to lose her again, Takashi resigned his position and committed seppuku after fulfilling his last duty as lord in marrying Itsuyo. Doji Kuzunobu, husband to the Crane Clan Champion Doji Hotaru and one of the wedding's guests, accepted her oaths of fealty to the Doji family and recognized her as the new lord.
