Otaku

Otaku was one of the original followers of the Kami Shinjo, in the original Ki-Rin clan. She founded what became the Otaku family (which became the Utaku family) and the Shiotome, also knows as the Battle Maidens, one of the strongest fighting units in the empire. Perhaps most importantly, Otaku was one of the original seven Thunders who defeated Fu Leng on the First Day of Thunder. In fact, it was Otaku who's imagination inspired Isawa to create the Black Scrolls. Otaku died on the Day of Thunder, saving the empire, and leaving a 1000-year legacy.
