== Discovered ==
Nokemono was found by the Jade Champion Asahina Sekawa alongside the other nine Lotus Swords. When Sekawa saw a sword that bore a fearsome, demonic face, the symbol of Daigotsu, he knew the Fortune had blessed not only the nine Great Clans, also had extended his gift to the Shadowlands. Age of the Lotus (Lotus Rulebook Story), by Rich Wulf The very existence of the blade Nokemono was considered a grievous insult to all of the Great Clans, since it seemed to place them on equal footing with the hated Shadowlands. 
== The Shadowlands ==
Daigotsu gave the sword to its current holder Daigotsu Eiya in 1168 as a reward for defending the Temple of the Ninth Kami from Munemitsu no Oni's attack, during the birth of his son Daigotsu Kanpeki. Souls of Steel, Part 2, by Brian Yoon
