Hojo Todahiro

Hojo Todahiro was the exiled former shogun of Kozakura in 1357 DR.

History
Todahiro was the son of shogun Hojo Kikutake. In 1341 DR, when Todahiro was seventeen, his father died following a fall from his horse. Immediately thereafter, controversy arose over who should succeed as shogun. Because Todahiro was not yet of age, a shikken regent was required. If he were to succeed his father as shogun, then the shikken would rule for only a short while; conversely, if Todahiro's two-year-old son were to be appointed, then the shikken would be in power for many years. This division soon proved violent, and the Hojo War began in 1342 DR.

Following his defeat, Todahiro and his supporters were exiled to the island of Kanshu, and the young Hojo Kawakubo became shogun.

Manipulated by his mother Hojo Haru and her father, the shikken Takenaka Okawa, the new shogun was from the beginning merely a puppet to the true rulers of Kozakura.

Todahiro plotted to reclaim his position, but he was kept under the watch of Lord Betsui Kando, and observed by spies of all factions.
