The Otomo family was formed by Otomo, one of the followers of the original Hantei. The family's purpose is to protect the Emperor from losing political power to the Great Clans, such as the situation with the original Gozoku. Using their power as the most prominent courtiers in Rokugan, the Otomo strive to maintain strife and conflict between the Great Clans, keeping them from unifying against the political power of the Emperor.

[edit] Otomo Mon
The Mon of the Otomo represents four snakes twined about one another and born from the same source, each attacking the other with no regard for its safety. It is a representation of the Otomo's purpose : to divide the Empire and maintain the absolute power of the Emperor.
[edit] Schools
The Otomo family has a school of Seiyaku, which means 'covenant' or 'agreement'. Its techniques focus on sowing distrust between the samurai of the clans. (WC:KS p. 100)
