Kakita Amano was a samurai of the Crane Clan. 
== Opium Adict ==
Amano lived in the Merchant Market at Slow Tide Harbor to indulge his opium adiction. He was a thin man, reduced to an unhealthy skinniness. He was dressed in an ill-fitting kimono woven in flower patterns. His hair was loose, dangling like a veil. He was short on money, and sold sumie paintings to a local shop owned by a heimin named Kizo. Amano eventually moved into a flophouse in the Wallow, a disreputable district where he indulged with Blue Flame opium in the Golden Dream. Dark Tides, pp. 14-15
== Odd Events ==
In 1123 Amano befriended Doji Hiroshige and Kasuga Toru, who were also opium smokers. When Hiroshige abruptly disappeared, he and Toru searched on and off for him. They initially suspected he had run afoul of one of the moneylenders he owed and feared the worst. Five days later Toru also disappeared, and Amano was in hiding because he became overly paranoid that Boss Kizo, one of the local moneylenders, had murdered his friends. Toru and Hiroshige were eventually released by a group of Emerald Magistrates from a local cult of mahō-tsukai who had kidnapped his fellow friends. Dark Tides, pp. 13-15, 30
