[edit] Akodo Okura
Okura was born Akodo Okura, but gave up the Akodo family name and joined the Kitsu family after he showed a natural aptitude for ancestral magic.[citation needed]
[edit] Family
Okura was cousin to Akodo Toturi, and student to Kitsu Toju. [citation needed]
[edit] Early Discovery
After discovering Oni no Akuma's essence within an abandoned castle at the edge of Lion lands, he decided to leave the oni be rather then destroy it. [citation needed]
[edit] Corruption
Kitsu Okura was nominated to participate in the Jade Championship after the death of Kitsu Kuroman. Okura realized his abilities were limited even while pouring over every scroll in the Kitsu libraries. It was then that Oni no Akuma offered him his power again. Surprisingly the two came to an agreement to where Kitsu Okura was offered knowledge and power in exchange, binding himself to Akuma and initiating others within the Kitsu to the Shadowlands. (Hidden Emperor, p.20)
[edit] Jade Champion
Okura won the title Jade Champion in 1131 after defeating the Doomseeker Iuchi Karasu much to the surprise of those who knew him. Rumours spread of Okura's power being owed to dark allegiances but he was still awarded the post. (3E p. 22)
[edit] Okura no Oni
His name was given to Oni no Okura, who later became the guardian of Tengoku. [citation needed]
[edit] Storms Over Matsu Castle
Okura's corruption, and the corruption that he had caused within the Lion Clan, came to the fore in 1132 at the battle known as Storms Over Matsu Castle. The Unicorn sent Otaku Battle Maidens to assault the castle, discovering the corruption when oni and tainted bushi took the field under the leadership of Okura.
