[edit] Gempukku
Domotai became the Topaz Champion in 1165, the year of her gempukku. She trained in both the Kakita and Matsu schools under sensei Matsu Atasuke. In honor of this, she chose her gempukku name after the Lion Clan hero Matsu Domotai. Her name before her gempukku had been Doji Sakura.[1]
[edit] Crane Clan Champion
After Doji Kurohito's seppuku, a result of Doji Akiko's association with the Gozoku, Domotai took over as Crane Clan Champion.[2]
[edit] Marriage
Domotai is married to Doji Kusari, the son of the Ikoma Daimyo Ikoma Korin[3][4], and is with child. [5]
[edit] Domotai and the Harriers
The Dragon Clan daimyo Togashi Satsu recently drew Domotai's attention to the dishonor that was concealed within the Daidoji family, more specifically the Harriers and their use of gaijin pepper which was forbidden by Imperial Law. Outraged, Domotai swore to see the Harriers' operations dismantled, and had ordered the Daidoji Daimyo Daidoji Kikaze to do so. He had agreed to this, rather reluctantly, but when Domotai sent Doji Fumisato to investigate, it appeared that Kikaze had not done as instructed in the wake of (and perhaps because of) the march on the capital by Moto Chagatai. Fumisato returned with the lord of the Harrier castle's head, Daidoji Hakumei for the crime. [6]
[edit] Third Yasuki War
A meeting between Domotai and Hida Kuon sparked a war between the Crane and the Crab. Kuon claimed to have evidence which proved that the late Emerald Champion Yasuki Hachi was not the rightful heir to the Yasuki family, and demanded the next Yasuki daimyo swear fealty to the Crab alone. Domotai refused to accept that, as she would not allow him to contradict the word of Doji Kurohito. [7]
When the war dragged on and the Crab found themselves unable to keep their army supplied through the winter, Yasuki Jinn-Kuen was sent to Domotai to ask for terms. In exchange for Crab testimony that Kurohito's word was true and the Crane's claim to the lands was legitimate, Domotai arranged for Jinn-Kuen to marry a Crane woman, and gave him control of the Yasuki lands as her dowry.[8]
[edit] Winter Court - 1170
Domotai attended winter court at Kyuden Otomo in 1170. Domotai had chosen to wear fashion from the time of Hantei X, causing a mad scramble by most courtiers to obtain similar clothing. Placing orders at all the kimono shops in the city, she placed a stranglehold on who could and couldn't obtain the proper fashion. Those who were gifted with the fashionable clothing or allowed to place orders included; Master of Fire Isawa Ochiai, Otomo Daimyo Otomo Hoketuhime, Amethyst Champion Yoritomo Yoyonagi, various Lion, Crane and Phoenix dignitaries, and Bayushi Saya.[9]
Domotai entertained Akodo Setai, attempting to learn how the Lion were faring against the Unicorn. Setai himself wished to learn how the Crane were faring against the Crab. Domotai had also chosen to send the Daidoji Daimyo Daidoji Kikaze to spend the winter at Kyuden Ikoma, perhaps as punishment for the debacle with the harriers. [10]
