The Hitomi family was founded by Mirumoto Hitomi, the second Dragon Thunder.
Founding[]
The Hitomi family was founded in 1128 when Mirumoto Hitomi assumed leadership of the Dragon Clan following the death of Togashi Yokuni. [1] In 1129 she demanded that all Togashi family members swear fealty to her name on pain of execution or banishment from the Dragon Clan. [2] Hitomi renamed Kyuden Togashi as Kyuden Hitomi and took up residency there. [3]
Role[]
The Hitomi embraced the philosophy of attaining enlightenment through physical and mental hardship. Members of this order sought out impossible challenges through which to prove their worth, which gave them a reputation for violence. The Kikage Zumi bore tattoos that increased the wearer's strength, inspired powerful rage, or controlled shadows. [4]
Lady Moon[]
Upon the ascension of Hitomi as Lady Moon, a person who gained her favor spontaneously developed kikage zumi tattoos. In most cases they were already monks serving in the High House of Light. Rarely, even non-Dragons joined the Hitomi after they were blessed by Lady Moon and arrived to Kyuden Hitomi, and were immediately granted the Hitomi name. [4]
Decimated[]
When the armies of the clans marched toward Volturnum during the War Against Shadow, Hitomi spoke from the Heavens. Hitomi Kagetora chose his six most trusted warriors Hitomi Reju, Hitomi Akuai, Hitomi Kobai, Hitomi Bujun, Hitomi Pukku, and Hitomi Kazaq, and they were forced by Lady Moon to remain behind, and not join their brethren at Volturnum. In the Battle of Oblivion's Gate the Hitomi sacrificed themselves to gain the upper hand in the battle against the Shadow. They threw their bodies against the Goju and combined their tattoo magic in an explosive, suicidal display. The seven were all that were left of the family, and they began to rebuild their ranks. [5]
Troubles[]
The Hitomi family was growing in members slowly, until the year 1168 when the Dragon Clan Champion Togashi Satsu detected an imbalance within both the Hoshi family and the Hitomi. [6] The orders' connection to their patrons Lady Moon and the Celestial Wanderer was the source of their ailment. A direct connection to the Heavens, such as that created by pure divine blood, was too much for the mortal soul to bear without being adversely affected. In 1169 Satsu announced the unification of the three families into the Togashi family and began tattooing the members of the Hoshi and Hitomi with his own blood in an attempt to restore the balance. [7]
