The Daimyo

大名

The Daimyo governs the lands surrounding the Capital, his leadership measured not in trophies but in order. Once a samurai alongside his brother — The Ice Ronin — he chose duty where the other chose exile. Now he rules the courts, ensuring every battle, every ceremony, and every prize reflects the Emperor’s design.

On the court, his play mirrors his politics — precise, strategic, and perfectly timed. He doesn’t force the game; he directs it, guiding the flow like a river master guiding currents around stone. Every assist is a decree, every possession a plan executed.

Though he and his brother share no words, their connection lingers in rhythm and form — one shaped by ice, the other by command. To watch the Daimyo lead is to see the balance between authority and grace — a ruler whose greatest power is restraint.
