Yotsu was given the Yatoshin name, and the children were invited to the Imperial Court as playmates and companions to the boy they had saved. [3]

Shoku quested with a ronin woman named Sabieru, who were to bring his family wealth and power. Shoku and Sabieru also wed each other out of convenience to further aid Shoku's elder sister, Ureiko, in her political crusades. [3]
