Bushido: Ito Yudai

Cousin to the Ito daimyo, Yudai speaks as the daimyo’s voice in matters at court. He has served as emissary to Takuya’s wishes since the start of the Dragon Wars, and no one can deny that Yudai knows his way around the deadly game of clan politics. Because of the Ito clan’s well-deserved reputation for treachery, those around Yudai still call upon him for favours. Itsunagi has courted Yudai’s good graces, swaying his uncle to the service of Orochi. Even so, Yudai serves Orochi most cynically, drawing upon Orochi’s power only when it serves him to do so.
