Togashi Yokuni

Togashi Yokuni was the last of the personas of the Kami Togashi, and at the time of his death had been alive for over a thousand years.

Tamashii
Yokuni was one of the tamashii that held Togashi's soul, and as such his blood could be used to create the tattoos of the ise zumi.

Enemy of the Kolat
Yokuni was a noted enemy of the Kolat.

Dragon Helm
Yokuni was rumored to have destroyed the Dragon Helm, most likely because of it's ability to control dragons.

White Woman
The only time any outside the Dragon Clan saw Yokuni prior to the Second Day of Thunder was when Yokuni had a chance encounter with the White Woman ghost that haunted the halls of Kyuden Togashi. An old monk who was visiting Kyuden Togashi was meditating in the gardens when he was disturbed by the entrance of the White Woman. As he watched her walk throught the garden he noticed Yokuni enter and spot the woman. Yokuni walked over to the White Woman and as he drew close he removed his helmet. And that was the last thing the monk ever saw, as he was blind ever since.

Togashi Mitsu
Yokuni visited Fukurokujin Seido in 1114, and spoke to a young acolyte named Soh. The 14 year old acolyte was offered a place among the Dragon Clan, to become a Togashi ise zumi and gain tattoos. Soh accepted, and decided he would take the name Togashi Mitsu.

""You will be allowed to pass gempukku as a true Dragon, as a Togashi, and take a name of your choosing. I will share with you the secrets of our tattoo magic, and you may join the brotherhood of the ise zumi if you choose.""

Scorpion Coup


Shortly prior to the Scorpion Coup in 1123, Scorpion Clan Champion Bayushi Shoju visited Yokuni in an attempt to gain insight in the path he must take. It is unknown what took place during their private conversation, but Shoju enacted the coup shortly after.

During the coup, Yokuni sat by merely watching the events unfold. Shoju took this to mean that the Dragon Clan Champion, whose true secret he knew, approved of his actions.

Toturi's Army
During the Clan War Yokuni supported Toturi's Army, knowing that one day he would be needed. He gave Toturi rations and weapons, as well as sending members of his clan to aid the army against the Crab at The Battle of Beiden Pass.

Mirumoto Hitomi equipped with the Obsidian Hand reached Yokuni and engaged in a secret dialog with him. When finished, she returned to the Mirumoto Lands to raise and equip a new army. Yokuni vanished from the Dragon Clan lands to the south.

Second Day of Thunder
The old prophecy had been fulfilled, the last Hantei Emperor would bring the downfall of Rokugan. Emperor's body was so weakened from Bayushi Kachiko's poisons that the own Fu Leng had been reincarnated into him. When Kachiko realized it, she thought to join Toturi the Black to stop what was unchained and fled covered by a heavy rain with fear in her eyes. Togashi Yokuni stop her in the Plains of Otosan Uchi and reminded Kachiko the duties of an incoming Thunder. Kachiko came back to the Imperial Palace, while Yokuni went home.

Yakamo and the Jade Hand
Yokuni approached Hida Yakamo and Hida Kisada following the failed attack by the Crab Clan on Otosan Uchi. Yokuni handed Yakamo the Jade Hand and told him he had to make a choice. Yakamo tore of the Oni Claw and attached the Jade Hand in it's place.

Death
Yokuni died on the Second Day of Thunder in 1128 while fighting Fu Leng. His death allowed Hitomi to retrieve the 12th Black Scroll, which made Fu Leng mortal once more and gave the Seven Thunders their chance for victory.
