Background

Born in a province bordering multiple clans, Hiroshi was trained from childhood to be both a courtier and an investigator, and grew up with an inquisitive mind - some may say too inquisitive. Even in the earliest days at his dojo, he found that his attentiveness was so overwhelming that it prevented his mind from focusing on one thing at a time. This made him hyperattentive to details, but also made it difficult for him to quiet his mind in meditation. However, despite his shortcomings, he always dedicated himself to discovering as much as he could, and he ably split his time between developing his skills in the court with the training necessary to potentially become a Magistrate in the future.

After his gempukku, his first assignment took him to the borders of the Unicorn Clan's Koubaku Province, at an outpost set up for diplomatic negotiations between the two clans and various other visitors. While assigned here as a diplomatic aide and part-time peace keeper, he made the acquaintance of several individuals, including the Daidoji yojimbo of a visiting Crane dignitary and an Utaku Battle Maiden similarly assigned to the post. Utaku Fatima and Hiroshi became especially close friends in the interim, and still maintain correspondence despite no longer being assigned to the post together. Along with Daidoji Daisuke, Hiroshi and Fatima were responsible for helping bring down a maddened Crane Shugenja who had fallen to an inexplicable insanity while attending the outpost. His fall came at the price of his curse upon the trio, however, though they don't the true extent of the curse placed upon them.

After completing his first assignment, Hiroshi began wandering the Empire to fulfill his lord's obligations. It was on one of his earlier missions that he became aware of rumors that threatened the stability of the Empire. Shortly after the Topaz Championship which ended with Empress Kaede's death (at which Hiroshi had been an attendee), the young Kitsuki was assigned to aide a cartographer with an expedition across Dragon Heart Plain. Before setting out on this expedition, however, he uncovered a rumor that led him to believe that some in the Empire no longer had faith in the Emperor's divine mandate. Though none who spread this rumor claimed put stock into it themselves, it troubled him greatly, and made him realize that there were aspects at play he could not account for. As such, with his lord's permission, he undertook a series of quests to a variety of libraries across Rokugan, whenever his assigned journeys allowed him the opportunity to visit them. This allowed him to expand his worldview, and address far more topics than he'd expected to be able to.

After his attendance at a Harvest Festival in Ikoma Territory, Hiroshi was granted the honor of presenting gifts at the Empress' funeral.
