Toritaka Yotogi

The son of an ashigaru spearman, Yotogi was granted the Toritaka province by the Emperor in 834 after he had saved an imperial advisor from an assassin.

Yotogi quickly uncovers the nature of the assassin, a peasant maddened by the possession of an evil spirit, leading to the Falcon Clan finding their meaning in life.
