Ikoma Kasaruzu

Ikoma Kasazuru was a bard of the Lion Clan.

Demeanor
Kasazuru excelled during his time in the Ikoma Omoidasu school, eloquent with a sharp and precise memory. He was loud, boisterous, and obnoxious, but also was a strong, cunning, and dedicated samurai. Kasazuru enjoyed good drink and the company of beautiful women, and claimed a direct lineage to the original Ikoma.

Colonies
Kasazuru lacked the proper skills for Rokugani courts and he was eventually sent to the Colonies to serve alongside Imperial Governor of the Colonies Ikoma Katsuru. There he proved to be a formidable opponent in the courts of the Second City as head of the Lion delegation. Kasazuru was quite adept at turning his opponents' own mistakes against them. After the appointment of the new Governor Otomo Suikihime he suspected that someone was plotting a political move against the Lion, and he was stepping a bit cautiously until he could learn more.
