Takeshi Konda

Daimyo Takeshi Konda (KOHN-dah) was one of the greatest human rulers of the plane of Kamigawa. He resided in the great castle of Eiganjo from which he established his reign over the majority of Kamigawa.
==History==
Born on the Towabara Plains, Konda became a military prodigy and strategist. As a young man, Konda built Eiganjo Castle, drove out the surrounding bandits, and united a dozen local warlords to consolidate his power.Scott McGough. (2004.) Outlaw: Champions of Kamigawa, Wizards of the Coast. ISBN-13 0-7869-3140-X.Character Profile: Daimyo Konda (archived) He had multiple concubines, his favorite of which, and the mother of his future daughter, was Lady Yoshino.
===Konda's Crime===
Years later, over fifty years old and ruling a united Towabara, Konda wanted to ensure eternal peace and prosperity for his people.Scott McGough. (2005.) Heretic: Betrayers of Kamigawa, Wizards of the Coast. ISBN-13 0-7869-3575-8. To achieve this objective, he did not hesitate to change the world. With the help of the results of Eight-and-a-Half-Tails' research, personal participation of ambassador Meloku of the soratami, Sensei Hisoka of Minamo, General Takeno, and an outbreak of sympathetic spiritual energy accompanying the birth of his daughter Michiko - whom Lady Yoshino died giving birth to - he performed a sacrilegious ritual.(2005). Betrayers of Kamigawa Player's Guide. Wizards of the Coast. During this time he broke the barrier between the mortal and spirit worlds, captured and imprisoned a major spirit - an important part of O-Kagachi himself. That Which Was Taken became his major interest, granting him immortality, a stop to his aging, incredible power, and invulnerability to kami, at the cost of most of his ki and perhaps all of his honor. Konda's crime triggered the Kami War, a devastating, twenty-year conflict between Kamigawa's mortal and spiritual worlds.
===The Reckoning===
At the climax of the Kami War, Konda and O-Kagachi were struck down by their daughters Michiko Konda and Kyodai (the Taken One), respectively. After her release, the Taken One punctured Konda's eyes, then petrified his immortal body and crushed him into a million pieces. Hundreds of years later, Konda's undying remains presumably still lie in the Jukai Forest.
