In secret he was a kolat member. When he was on a mission, he concealed the time he passed out of the city explaining he was in the wilderness of the Isawa Mori, to find inspiration for his paintings. 
=== Tao of Shinsei ===
In 1132 Ikudaiu, another fellow kolat, had sent Sutebu to meet another kolat messenger, a ronin who carried half of the Tao. Sutebu said that he would go to the wilderness to paint. During the night a sudden blizzard appeared and was supposed missed. Sutebu knew the minions of the Shadows were hunting the Tao and the kolat who had stolen it, and was hidden in a village with a false name. Hidden Emperor, p. 65
== Death ==
The next day he was killed by the Goju. 
== Daidoji Rekai ==
Daidoji Rekai was also seeking the Tao and had been tracking Sutebu. When she knew where he was supposed to be, Rekai stepped in the Isawa Mori to find Sutebu in the middle of the blizzard. Ikudaiu met her and explained why she never would find him. The monk knew the Shadows were chasing him and gave Rekai the other half of the Tao to be protected. She had to put it safe quickly, or she could join the same fate than Sutebu.
