Appearance Edit

Inao was a beautiful woman, with the pale skin and elegant features so distinctive of Shosuro ancestry. ^[1]

Married Edit

Bayushi Yojiro selected Inao to be married with the Monkey Clan Champion, Toku. ^[1]

Toku's Funeral Edit

Inao was the first to take the Toku name after the death of her husband in 1165. ^[4] In 1166 the Emperor Toturi III opened to the public the Toku's Shrine, and named Toku the Fortune of Virtue. The Emperor the night before had blessed the shrine with his own wedding there. ^[1]

Commercial Trades Edit

In 1167 Inao received Kitsuki Seiji, a Dragon courtier, his yojimbo Mirumoto Kenzo, and the ronin Hozumi. The Dragon offered to sponsorship the Monkey Clan in the court in exchange of a rice trade agreement because the War of Silk and Steel was taxing their resources to their very limit. Bayushi Tsimaru was already in the Vigilant Keep of the Monkey for the same purpose, his Clan faced starvation after the Fortune Bishamon had removed his blessings on their crops. ^[4]

Sanzo's son Edit

Inao was glad to met Hozumi, whose father Sanzo was Toku's comrade in the Clan War. ^[4]

Death of Yudoka Edit

Inao was informed of the death of her brother, Shosuro Yudoka, at Winter Court in 1168. The Scorpion Clan Champion Bayushi Paneki had made the trip to Kyuden Otomo to inform her personally. Paneki presented Inao with Yudoka's favorite weapon, Pincers and Tail. ^[5]

Retirement Edit

During the Winter Court of 1168 Inao sought and found a wife for her son Toturi Kyoji, Akodo Minako. At the same event, and in the Empress's presence, Inao requested that she be allowed retire and serve as an advisor to her successor. Her retirement was undoubtedly as a result of the recent death of her brother and the death of her husband less than four years prior. ^[6]

Sources Conflict The sources relating to this article are in conflict with each other.

In Return of the Master (Diamond Rulebook Story) the wife of Toku and mother of Koto was named Nayoko. It should be considered a mistake. Four Winds p. 110 clearly say Inao as Toku's wife
