Shinjo Tokitsu

Shinjo Tokitsu was a bushi and Emerald Magistrate of the Unicorn Clan.
== Emerald Magistrate ==
Tokitsu was appointed as an Emerald Magistrate, with residence at Otosan Uchi tended by a dutiful peasant, Eju. Tokitsu earned fame through many successful missions, foiling several assassination attempts against him. Way of the Ninja, p. 59
== Death ==
The Emerald Champion sent Tokitsu to a Phoenix port to investigate reports of forbidden gaijin trade. Tokitsu returned to the Imperial City shaken by what he had seen in the Phoenix lands. He retired to make a complete report during night for his audience with the Emerald Champion. Tokitsu never awoke, as he was found stabbed by a single knife strike. He was given a hero's funeral for his past deeds. 
== Aftermath ==
The mission report found disavowed the presence of any such artifacts and attributing the entire affair to peasant superstition. His trusted servant for many years, Eju, was a member of the Tortoise Clan in disguise. Kasuga Eju had poisoned his master, and used the knife as a cover screen. In such a way the Tortoise activities remained secret.
