Otomo Akemi

Otomo Akemi was a courtier of the Imperial Families.

Death
In 1200 Otomo Akemi was in charge to bring the Ancestral Sword of the Hantei to the Empress Iweko I, to guarantee its purity, a trip made every year since the Spider Clan were declared a Great Clan. The convoy were ambushed by Mantis, who seized the sword, because recent events led them to wonder if they were going back to their former, unsavory ways. The Mantis also wished the Otomo family to be shamed for failing to provide the Hantei sword for inspection. Akemi was killed by a Tsuruchi arrow in his throat.
