Katai family

The Katai family was a vassal family of the Akodo.

Lands
The Brick Keep at Renga Muri was the ancestral home of the family, and their duty was to take care of the forest called Kokoro Nezuban Mori, supervising the lumber production there.

Ronin Group
A group of Lion samurai followed the disgraced Matsu Daimyo, Matsu Mochihime, who was made ronin when she confronted the Emperor Hantei Fujiwa himself, during the raise of the Gozoku in 391.

Founding
In 438 Mochiko rejoined the Lion Clan and won the Test of the Emerald Champion. Her lieutenant Katai, formerly known as Akodo Katai, moved the ronin group near the Lion lands. The Ikoma discovered history of Mochiko, and decided to nip the potential for rumor if the truth of Mochiko's past. The Katai family was formed with the ronin, as a Vassal family of the Akodo.

12th century
When the Akodo were disbanded in 1123 they remained doing the same, as ronin again. In 1133 the Akodo family was reinstated as well as the Katai. A Dojo was building at Rengai Mura by Katai Seihai.
