[edit] Youth
Despite the beliefs of some, some men of the Moshi line do have the gift to talk to the kami. Kiyomori was not a particularly talented student, but was outgoing and attracted friends easily. This gift helped him in his training in that he was able to find friends who could help him get past his deficiencies. By the time of his gempukku, relying on his friends had put him at the top of his class, and he found himself as a candidate for the Topaz Championship. [1]
[edit] Topaz Championship
Unfortunately for the young shugenja, Kiyomori found that his fellow contestants in the Topaz Championship were not interested in being his friends, nor in helping him with his deficiencies. Realizing his weakness, and knowing that failure would reflect back on his family and clan, Kiyomori redoubled his efforts to succeed on his own talents. These efforts garnered the attention of the judges, many of whom had seen through his previous façade, impressing them. Another who saw his potential was fellow competitor, Yoritomo Satako, whom had decided that her own skills would not win the title. She began to target those who might challenge her clansmen, and thus raise his scores above them. Kiyomori would not discover this till well after he was declared the Topaz Champion. [1]
[edit] Storm Rider
Partly as a result of winning the Topaz Championship, Kiyomori was granted a place in the elite Mantis force, the Storm Riders. He fought in the War of Fire and Tunder and destroyed no less than five Dark Wave vessels. He was present for the funeral of Yoritomo Kaigen, and for the choosing of his successor, Moshi Sayoko. [1]
[edit] In the Third Storm
He has since become the Chief Shireikan of the Third Storm, the portion of the Mantis fleet guarding Kaigen's Island and the norther coasts of Rokugan. He was often seen in Broken Wave City and Kyuden Kumiko, normally assisting his rikuguonshokan Yoritomo Jera.[1]
