Togashi Mitsu

Togashi Mitsu was a legendary Ise Zumi of the Dragon Clan. Born a Tamashii, Mitsu prepared himself to one day offer his body to host the soul of the Kami Togashi. The death of Togashi on the Second day of Thunder left Mitsu free to pursue his own interests.

Demeanor
Mitsu was a fun-loving and carefree monk who frequently wandered Rokugan helping those in need and dispensing justice as needed. In his prime, Mitsu was one of the most recognizable Ize Zumi to ever live, as he did not choose the standard path of seclusion and meditation.

Toturi's Army
During the Clan War, Mitsu was a staunch ally of the ronin Toturi. Mitsu, along with many other members of the Dragon Clan, joined Toturi's Army before the Battle of Beiden Pass and fought with the Black Lion throughout the war.

Matsuo
Very recently, Mitsu took on an apprentice, Togashi Matsuo. Matsuo is a Tamashii, like Mitsu himself. Mitsu was surprised to learn of this from Togashi Satsu, as he believed that with Togashi dead, there would be no more Tamashii (apparently unknown to Mitsu was the fact that the Phoenix Clan Champion generally has a similar nature).

Apparent Death
In 1159, Mitsu became involved in a plot by Kokujin to summon the First Oni. The conflict ended with Mitsu engaging Kokujin in single combat. Using the Anvil of Despair as a weapon, Mitsu knocked Kokujin, himself, and the Anvil into a lava-filled pit, presumably to their demise and the Anvil's loss.

Continuing Legend
Despite his apparent death, many have since claimed to have seen the Ise Zumi helping wounded escape from battles.
