Ikoma Hiromori was a bushi of the Lion Clan who became tainted at the Battle of Oblivion's Gate. He eventually joined the ranks of Daigotsu and decided to emulate the Dark Lord's yojimbo, Goju Kyoden. Hiromori swore fealty to the Shadow Dragon as Goju Kyojiro.

Tainted[]

Hiromori was an honorable samurai who became Tainted during the Battle of Oblivion's Gate. When Daigotsu became the master of the Shadowlands he gave to the Lost the free will previously denied to them. Hiromori fell into deep despair as he was fully aware of what he had been and what he had become. Daigotsu's change caused Hiromori to regain his sense of honor. [1]

Emulating Kyoden[]

Hiromori was fascinated by the only honorable example he could find in the service of Daigotsu, the Obsidian Champion Goju Kyoden. Hiromori made it his goal to become worthy of Kyoden's respect, entered Daigotsu's Legions, and in under two years he became a part of Daigotsu's personal war council. The final step was joining the Goju, which was granted by the Shadow Dragon itself. At the House of Goju Hiromori took the name Kyojiro to honor Kyoden. As a minion of the Darkness, Goju Kyojiro, the Lost and the Goju would never truly lose his aid should he fall in battle. [2]
