Nobimura Kaganenochi

Nobimura Kaganenochi is a religious man and the current Tszuno of Tochi. He has lived his life as a simple caretaker for a shrine built by his father. But his location on a common trade route caused many travellers or new settlers to take up residence near the shrine.

Over the years, the small hamlet became known as Hanikwa, with Nobimura the original mayor until he happily 'abdicted' the role to his daughter, Sera Kaganenochi. Nobimura spent his time in Umakwa during this period, eventually finding himself in a plot to overthrow the current Tszunna, Soko Naruma. Him and a few other notable individuals raised a small militia and marched to the palace, where they offered a choice. Abdictation or death. Soko and her Lusone Onneszu Esuka'anai, both stepped down, handing power over to the Lord of Kinnomachi. Nobimura, for reasons he keeps to himself, was the only member of the conspiracists to decline a position in the government, prefering instead to return to a life of simplicity for awhile, caring for the shrine and his small bee farm.

It wasn't long however before the newly formed Central Government of Yaszuma came knocking in Hanikwa, asking Nobimura to join them and replace Lord Vicion who was stepping down from his own role. Thus Nobimura reluctantly took up a title that had more responsibilities than his previous, one he had just weeks previously declined.

Two years passed with this arrangement and the country he grew up in was changing and with it, his feelings for the nation. (WIP)
