Shiba Jouta

Shiba Jouta was the Phoenix Clan bushi who was fostered to train with the Dragon Clan when his angry, tempestuous nature set him at odds with the warrior-philosopher mentality of the Shiba. During his time with the Dragon Jouta gained a fascination with the strange, alchemical elixirs the Tamori family produce. Jouta was assigned to investigate the kidnapping of over a dozen children villages to the south in Phoenix lands. Working with the aid of a ronin Motaro, the chidren were found when Jouta and Motaro came upon a ritual being performed by the Cult of the Dead Moon. Jouta and Motaro attacked the cultists, Jouta slayed the master of the cult, Bunrakuken, and the children were saved. Jouta has a fascination with the strange, alchemical elixirs the Tamori family of the Dragon Clan produces.
