From a Lion

[Akodo Jafuri]

Lords of the Toku:

I do not presume to have such stature as to speak on behalf of my Clan. It is known to me that you are held in high regard by many; the honor shown you by the Splended Emperor and the service rendered to the Empire for which it was accorded you loom large in the minds of the children of Akodo. And I know that I have benefited from having members of your Clan in my company; they have been instructive in carrying out enforcement of the laws of the Empire.

Know that I consider myself to be in your debt, and, honor permitting, I am ready to repay it.

Carry the Fortunes,

Akodo Jafuri

[Daigotsu Daisuke]

Most Honored Toku,

While again i cannot say i carry the weight of my clan, i must admit too, that more than once your clan has aided me most honorably in the many duties i must attend to. There are fewer better examples of great honor and duty than those amongst the monkey clan. I must join my brother Jafuri in saying that you have gained my respect and my sword arm, all you must do is ask.

let the wisdom of the Kami continue to guide your most esteemed clan,

Akodo Jin
