Governor

Governor was the title given in Rokugan to the appointed administrator of a province, city, town or district. Way of the Daimyo, p. 5 They were the power players of Rokugan, as they oversaw the movement of armies, cargos, personages, and wealth of all sorts. Way of the Daimyo, p. 18
== Duties ==
The governor represented the authority of the Clan or family Daimyo who named him in his position. He was thus all together a magistrate (in charge of local policing) an administrator (in charge of the land and tax collection around the town) and a military leader (defending the city). Doji Numata (Glory of the Empire flavor) Big city governors had a whole court, similar to most daimyo, while smaller ones probably only had an assistant and a yojimbo. 
== Otosan Uchi District Governors ==
The Emperor chose a samurai or a senior member of his court to rule over a district in which was divided up Otosan Uchi. The Governors reported to the Sentaku Tribunal and there were hatamoto of the Emerald Champion who could overrule any governor. The Atlas of Rokugan, p. 248
== Provincial Governor ==
Provincial governors received lands to control, and maintained gokenin beneath them to manage their territories. The provincial governor reported to the family or clan daimyo depending upon who gave the land. The gokenin collected the taxes which in turn passed to the provincial governor. GM's Survival Guide, p. 85
== Known Techniques and Features ==
Depending upon his location in Rokugan, the position of governor could be anything from a frivolous political appointment, to a prestigious, coveted position of power, to a useful way to get a nuisance out of the public eye. Way of the Daimyo, pp. 18-19
