Kitsuki Shinji
Kitsuki Investigator 3, Status 3.7, Glory 9.8, Honor 5.4

A relatively young samurai, Kitsuki Shinji is only a few years past his gempuku. However, he has already proven himself a more than able investigator in helping numerous magistrates solve crimes, quickly and discretely.

Shinji is a very focused on uncovering the truth in the world and thus do his part to remove the criminal element in Rokugan. His only vice is the game of Go. He carries his own board and plays whenever he can. Shinji has written a set of treatises based on the Go match between Kakita Fujimara and Kamato, two of the premiere Goka in Rokugan. The books cover both the philosophy and strategies of Go.

Shinji undertook his gempuku at the Topaz Championship where he placed second behind Kakita Amiko. He has traveled with Kakita-san on other occassions and seen how her arrogance and cruelty are tolerated because she is a highly skilled duelist and stays within the letter of the Code of Bushido. This realization coupled with the attitudes of other magistrates towards the Kitsuki Method has driven Shinji to become a master of the Katana in all its permutations, especially dueling. He realized he will have to back up his findings in criminal matters with steal. If he can't the criminal will be exonerated of any charges and the Method will be ridiculed yet again, a fate worse than death in Shinji's eyes.

Shinji has recently been promoted to Emerald Magistrate and bears the emerald sash and his badge of office with honor.
