The family was named after Kakita - Doji's husband and the first Emerald Champion. They crafted music, poetry, paintings, and sculptures of breathtaking beauty, yet the ultimate expression of Kakita achievement was the iaijutsu dueling strike of the katana. [3] The Kakita embodied the clan's spirit and pride, earning it glory and wealth with their good works while embracing whatever adventures come their way. [4]

Mom[]
The Kakita mon was a white crane, cradling a drawn sword with its wing. [6]

Arts[]
They Kakita were well-known for the grand adventures of their heroes, but also for their artisans and dueling traditions. They were the family most devoted to the arts. The Kakita Academy was the most prestigious art school in the Empire. [6] The biwa was the favorite musical instrument of the Kakita. [8]
