Logic behind the date:[]
Doji Hayaku was likely born in c.28, this date is due to three main facts:
- Being the 5th child of Kakita and Doji means the earliest he could have been born was 4 years after his oldest siblings, the twins Doji Konishiko and Doji Yasurugi, were born. This would the year c.28
- After the Day of Thunder in c.42, Hayaku left to try and find his sister, Konishiko, who his mother believed might still be alive. If he was c.28 then he would have been 14 years old when he set out to find his sister in the Shadowlands.
- The odds of someone less than 14 years old surviving in the Shadowlands on their own, for 5 years is highly unlikely. Yet 14 is the oldest Hayaku could have been at the time, making it the most likely age for him to be at the time. This would mean he was born in c.28

- On a sub-note, Hayaku could have been born in c.27 but that depends on when his siblings were born. Macilnar 13:58, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
- Counterpoint - Rokugani gempukku can happen anytime after the age of 12. These are the children of a Kami and arguably the best duelist ever. I'd suspect them of having an early gempukku, rather than a late one.. --Majushi 15:27, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
