Biko was a peasant maiden who became the aide of the retired courtier Miya Hiyoko. Otosan Uchi:Book 2, p. 50
== Family ==
Her older twins (brother and sister) were servants in the Forbidden Palace, who cared for their aged parents. When the visitors at the Phoenix Guest Home received a platter of poisoned sweets, the resulting investigation sent every servant who came in contact with the platter or the food to their death, including Biko's siblings. Otosan Uchi:Book 2, p. 51
== Aide to a Courtier ==
Biko worked as a gardener in the Forbidden City until his extraordinary voice got the attention of Miya Hiyoko, a prominent retired courtier, who took her as his aide. In 1123 she provoked romantic feelings on a mute samurai musician, Kakita Naru, despite she was not aware of it. Otosan Uchi:Book 2, pp. 51-52
