Yogo Itoju (TCG)

Yogo Itoju was a shugenja member of the secretive Black Watch of the Scorpion Clan.
== A Scroll is Opened ==
In 1123 Itoju was instrumental to free his Lord Bayushi Shoju from his imprisonment after he was deposed as Imperial Regent. An intense man and a skilled wardmaster, he provided the means to circumvent several hastily conceived wards around Shoju's prison, while Soshi Angai's ritual allowed them to simply walk out of the guesthouse without incident. His Lord moved to Itoju's house, a nondescript Black Watch compound in a nondescript neighborhood of the dilapidated Hojize District. There, Shoju inspected the artifacts retrieved from Yogo Castle, which had been recently fallen to a Shadowlands attack. Among the artifacts was a Black Scroll, The Skin of Fu Leng, which eventually was opened by Shoju. A Worthy Opponent, by D.G. Laderoute
== Scorpion Coup ==
Shoju violently seized control of the Forbidden City, and Shosuro Ibuki, Itoju and Angai were appointed as guardians of the entrance to the Imperial Throne room. In the twelfth day of the Month of Togashi a group of samurai sneaked into the Forbidden City, helped by Bayushi Kachiko, Shoju's wife. The Captain of the Imperial Guard, Seppun Ishikawa, jabbed the sheathed end of his katana into Ibuki's eye, and Kachiko stabbed Angai, allowing Mirumoto Hitomi to storm the Imperial Throne room and strike Shoju down.
