Shiba Kyukyo

Shiba Kyukyo was a Ritual Master of the Phoenix Clan.
== Rebuilding the Kinenhi Art==
Kyukyo was a sensei of Kinenhi, one of the major martial arts. In 1123 the Darkfever Plague wiped out all kinenhi practitioners, but an aged Shiba Kyukyo. Despite he was near retirement, Kyukyo delayed it to teach the next generation of students. Most of them were slain by Isawa Tsuke on the Day of Thunder. He sought to rebuild again. Way of the Open Hand, p. 76
== Death ==
During the War Against Shadow the Kinenhi dojo was an attractive target in the Lying Darkness campaign to wipe out the Empire's history and traditions. The old master and his students were attacked by minions of the Shadow, and Kyukyo's dojo was gone, as if it had never been. 
=== Kinhei's Last Remmant ===
On the night when the last Kinenhi dojo was destroyed, Kyukyo ordered to flee Shiba Isao, a young prodigy whose skill equaled that of the old master's. While his brethren stood against the darkness, Isao left the monastery so the style might live on. Way of the Open Hand, p. 77
