Bio
Tsumado was raised in the honorable Akodo bushi school, following the path of his grandfather, Akodo Daichumo, and his father, Akodo Keiji. Sent into the service of Matsu Chokoku by his father to clear off some family debts, Tsumado was sent by Chokoku to Hare lands as the Lion representative after the debut of the "4 little rabbits" play in imperial court. Serving in the Hand of the Hare for two years, Tsumado then was sent by Matsu Yuki, Chokoku's heir, to serve emerald magistrate Shiba Kohashi in Ryoko Owari, where he was his right hand and a fearless opponent of the opium trade. After Kohashi's demise, Tsumado dishonored himself while guarding a Bayushi lord during his duties. Released from magistrate service, he returned home to regroup and aid Matsu Akira, his favorite relation. A lord in his own right, Tsumado once again took up the imperial call to serve Yamagata, Emerald Magistrate of the Kawa no Kin.
