[edit] Birth
When Seppun Jifuhime gave birth to Toshiken she had a secret letter sent with an artisan named Kakita Teioko to inform the father, Kakita Toshimoko, of his son. [1]
[edit] Emerald Champion
Toshiken was the first Emerald Champion to be appointed by an Emperor in 1132. He was a prodigy with the blade and Toturi I appointed him quickly after having been rescued from Morikage Toshi. (3E p. 22)
[edit] Death
Near the end of his life he took Doji Reju as his yojimbo. He spent his final days in Kyuden Kakita, where many nobles came to attempt and aid his recovery. One night, in 1160, he was killed by the blind duelist Megumi while she was possesed by Dairya. Reju would have been killed too had it not been for the timely arrival of Kakita Daimyo Kakita Noritoshi, Toshiken's son Kakita Atoshi and Toturi Miyako.([2])
