Nintai

Nintai is perhaps the last Kitsu alive. In the time before Rokugan's founding, when the Five Ancient Races built the City of Night, Nintai led a group of renegade kitsu who tried to usurp the power of the city for themselves. Their plot devastated the city, but was foiled. Chased by the Kenku, Kitsu, Ningyo, Troll and Zokujin, they were eventually cornered and banished to Toshigoku. There, he and his cohorts were twisted and became the Tsuno.

Now Tsuno Nintai, he spent the centuries learning how to walk the spirit realms and began a quest for vengeance. The rest of the Kitsu had been exterminated or joined the Lion Clan. Nintai wreaked vengeance upon them, destroying much of the Kitsu Tombs in 1159. He also allied with Daigotsu aiding him in creating the Onisu, especially Kanashimi, the tsuno-like Nightmare of the Lion Clan.

Nintai was eventually defeated by the Nezumi shaman Te'tek'kir during battle in Toshigoku. Te'tek'kir restored Nintai's name, reverting him back to a kitsu. Nintai, penitent, sought to atone for his crimes by sealing the rest of his cohorts in Toshigoku forever. Nintai stayed with the Nezumi and watched over their bodies during Tomorrow. Afterward Nintai interred them all, mourning for his fallen allies.

Nintai has been visited by the Lion Clan, who erected a shrine for him.
