Itto (TCG)

Goseki no Kitsu Itto was a samurai of the Lion Clan who became the rōnin Itto after his Lord Damasu Kojima was killed. Wedding at Kyotei Castle, p. 8
== Lion Clan ==
Itto was member of the Goseki family and lived in Kyotei Castle, the ancestral stronghold of the Damasu family, which was close to Toshi Ranbo. Wedding at Kyotei Castle, p. 3 To shore up the Crane Clan's logistical lines to Toshi Ranbo (and to fuel his own ambition) Lord Tsume Retsu besieged the castle, eventually overcoming its defenses and slaughtering every member of the Damasu family. Love and Death (FFG Web)
== Rōnin ==
Itto smuggled his Lord's daughter out of the castle as a baby during Tsume Retsu's slaughter. To protect her and keep her close to her home, he sold her to the Pine House, a geisha house in the shadow of the castle, where she trained to become the geisha named Reika. This same retainer kept watch over her until she came of age, when they revealed her true identity. She swore revenge against the Tsume family and began training in swordsmanship. Reika gained access to the inner castle at Kyotei and murder Tsume Retsu, in his very bedchambers, in 1120. Reika escaped with the help of Itto. The couple lived on the road for some years, gathering rōnin allies to her cause in the promise that she would one day elevate them to be Damasu samurai. Eventually, she was brought to Akodo Toturi himself who accepted her as the legitimate heir to the Damasu, and she took the name Akodo Maeda, while Itto remained as a rōnin. Wedding at Kyotei Castle, pp. 8-9
== Death ==
In 1123 Tsume Takashi, Retsu's son and former lover of Maeda when she was a geisha, announced his wedding with Shiba Itsuyo. Maeda accepted Takashi's wedding invitation on behalf of Ikoma Ujiaki, which the Crane had extended out of courtesy but did not expect to have accepted due to the bad blood. There, she plotted to marry Takashi but rule as lord, returning the castle to the Lion Clan in the process. Eventually her plot was uncovered by a group of samurai and Maeda was slain in the process, as well as Itto. Wedding at Kyotei Castle, p. 28
