Clan: Spider Clan 
Founded: Unknown 
Daimyo: Kokujin Dairu

The Kokujin Family, formerly known as the Order of Kokujin, was a monastic order who worshipped and followed the teachings of Kokujin. [1] Its home was the Temple of Madness at the City of the Lost. [2] Since the forming of the Spider Clan by Daigotsu, the order had become a family of the Spider.

History[]

Creation[]

Kokujin tattooed many tainted and Lost humans, and his Shadowlands gifts caused them to become subservient to his will, and he began bestowing his own name upon them to create a “family.” [3] This monastic order used tattoos in the same way as the Dragon orders, the Order of Kokujin Tattoos. [4]

Dissolution[]

After Kokujin's death his followers fell into disarray. Daigotsu allowed them to dissipate and encouraged the formation of new monastic orders within the Spider. A few members of the disintegrating order did stay loyal to Daigotsu. [3]

Restoration[]

In the late 12th century some members of the Spider Clan, now a Great Clan, bore the Kokujin family name again, [5] granted by the new daimyo Kokujin Dairu. [citation needed]
