Bio
Recent Events:
After defeating Bayushi Shoju and helping to end the Scorpion Clan Coup, Nori was rewarded by the newly crowned Hantei. In recognition for he services, Nori was cast out and declared ronin. He left Otosan Uchi in the company of fellow ronin Sen/Rei with meager possessions.
Rei and Nori were married in a small ceremony at a small shrine to Benten.

Nori’s Family:
Nori’s father is the younger brother of Kakita Toshimoko, Kakita Yoshi (Kakita Family Daimyo) and Doji Teinko (late wife of Doji Satsume, mother of Hoturi and Kuwanan). Nori’s father has served as a diplomat for the Clan. Nori has 2 older siblings, one brother, who serves the Clan as a diplomat, and one sister (Doji Aiko), who is skilled artisan. He also has a younger sister.
Nori is the same age as Akodo Kisho and Doji Kuwanan and was held out of the Topaz Championship to give Kuwanan a better chance to win, since Kuwanan was the favorite son of the Emerald Champion, after all. Rather than becoming a magistrate like Kisho, he served his Clan at court.
