[edit] Tamashii

As one of the tamashii that held Togashi's soul, his blood could be used to create the tattoos of the ise zumi.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Enemy of the Kolat

He was a noted enemy of the Kolat. ^{[citation needed]}

[edit] White Woman

The only time any outside the Dragon Clan saw Yokuni prior to the Second Day of Thunder was when Yokuni had a chance encounter with the White Woman ghost that haunted the halls of Kyuden Togashi. An old monk who was visiting Kyuden Togashi was meditating in the gardens when he was disturbed by the entrance of the White Woman. As he watched her walk throught the garden he noticed Yokuni enter and spot the woman. Yokuni walked over to the White Woman and as he drew close he removed his helmet. And that was the last thing the monk ever saw, as he was blind ever since.^[2]

[edit] Togashi Mitsu

Yokuni visited Fukurokujin Seido in 1114, and spoke to a young acolyte named Soh. The 14 year old acolyte was offered a place among the Dragon Clan, to become a Togashi ise zumi and gain tattoos. Soh accepted, and decided he would take the name Togashi Mitsu.^[3]

"You will be allowed to pass gempukku as a true Dragon, as a Togashi, and take a name of your choosing. I will share with you the secrets of our tattoo magic, and you may join the brotherhood of the ise zumi if you choose." -Yokuni [3]

[edit] Scorpion Coup

Shortly prior to the Scorpion Coup in 1123, Scorpion Clan Champion Bayushi Shoju visited Yokuni in an attempt to gain insight in the path he must take. It is unknown what took place during their private conversation, but Shoju enacted the coup shortly after.^{[citation needed]}

During the coup, Yokuni sat by merely watching the events unfold. Shoju took this to mean that the Dragon Clan Champion, whose true secret he knew, approved of his actions.^[4]

[edit] Toturi's Army

During the Clan War Yokuni supported Toturi's Army, knowing that one day he would be needed. He gave Toturi rations and weapons, as well as sending members of his clan to aid the army against the Crab at The Battle of Beiden Pass. ^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Yakamo and the Jade Hand

Yokuni approached Hida Yakamo and Hida Kisada following the failed attack by the Crab Clan on Otosan Uchi. Yokuni handed Yakamo the Jade Hand and told him he had to make a choice. Yakamo tore of the Oni Claw and attached the Jade Hand in it's place.^[5]

[edit] Death

Yokuni died on the Second Day of Thunder in 1128 while fighting Fu Leng. His death allowed Hitomi to retrieve the 12th Black Scroll, which made Fu Leng mortal once more and gave the Seven Thunders their chance for victory.^{[citation needed]}
