Formerly Akodo Okura, Kitsu Okura gave up the Akodo name to be allowed into the Kitsu family, after showing a natural aptitude for ancestral magic. Okura was cousin to Akodo Toturi, and student to Kitsu Toju. ^{[citation needed]}

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.

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)

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)

His name was given to Oni no Okura, who later became the guardian of Tengoku.
