The Emperor traditionally chooses his heir's wife from among the daughters of the Crane Clan. The Empress Mother was born a Yamamoto, and most expect that the Emperor’s eldest son (who is around 19) will marry the latest Yamamoto daughter. Kenji, at 19, is the oldest child of the current lord Yamamoto. He has a 1 year old brother, and a 15 year old sister. His mother is an accomplished sorceress, and his father a skilled warrior and diplomat. The Yamamoto clan is famed for its diplomats, artists, and duelists (for those familiar with L5R, the Yamamoto are sort of a cross between the Doji and the Kakita).</span></p><p><span style="color: DarkOrchid"></span></p><p><span style="color: DarkOrchid">Kenji was born adventurous and curious. His explorations and experiments were never ending, and his father knew that Kenji was not suited to settle immediately in to the staid life of rulership. So Lord Yamamoto has revived an ancient family tradition that the first son must complete a quest of 3 tasks. The first task is to defeat a great evil. The second task is to help the helpless. And the third task is to seek out a wife of magical nature. The son must travel, ranging far from home to complete these tasks. Over the generations, the third task has mixed the family blood with that of blood of angels, devils, and dragons, among many others, and has made them great allies, as well as bitter foes. Lord Yamamoto made it clear that his son must find worthy tasks, and this make take many years, but he knows that his second son can always assume leadership if necessary.

As the Yamamoto give their daughters in marriage to the empire, there is a local tribe of Vanara (monkey men) that send their children to become advisors and wizards to the children of the Yamamoto.

For formal occasions, Kenji will dye his hair a pure, snow white. Occasionally, like in battle, a tattoo of a gold dragon can be seen running up his left arm, which seems to be inked in actual gold.

There are a few lines, however, he will not allow anyone to cross...though his companions seem to think those lines are many.
