Otomo Koryusai

Otomo Koryusai was an courtier of the Imperial Families.
== Station ==
An Imperial Bureaucrat, Koryusai was under the command of Miya Satoshi, the Imperial Herald. He was overworked and had insufficient resources to do a good job within the Imperial bureaucracy. His superiors were happy to blame him for anything that goes awry. Winter's Embrace, pp. 13, 28
=== Appearance ===
Koryusai wore his black hair in the high bun of a court functionary and sported a delicately manicured goatee. His angular face matched his tall, lithe figure, and his long fingers had the look of a musician's—or master calligrapher's. Winter's Embrace, p. 28
=== Married ===
Koryusai had married Bayushi Mikuru, but he longed for his former fiancée, betrothed, and lover, Doji Hatsuhina, a bitter courtier and deputy seneschal at Kyūden Doji. Their betrothal had been undercut by the Scorpion Clan during its meteoric rise in influence. Koryusai had to endure after breaking off his engagement with Hatsuhina, his true love and confidant. Since his wedding Koryusai had succumbed to cynicism and sorrow. Hatsuhina was too prideful to be merely a lover, not when she was meant to be his equal in marriage. Koryusai would do anything to win Hatsuhina back. Winter's Embrace, pp. 5, 18, 24, 28 
=== Winter Court ===
In 1122 Koryusai and Hatsuhina attended the Imperial Winter Court at the Esteemed Palaces of the Crane, an opportunity to help them patch things up, reunite as lovers, or move on. A secretive Ikoma official had tried to bribe him to invite the Mantis Clan, but he refused to entertain the offer. Anyhow, a Mantis delegation attended the event. Winter's Embrace, pp. 11, 13
