Daiketsu Kabutotsu

Samurai Warlord, former head of the Kabutotsu Clan and former Shogun of Japan. Father of Daigoro Kabutotsu, and grandfather of Daisuke, Deiji, and Daiki Kabutotsu.

Background
Born in Daito, Osaka, in the Palace of the Kabutotsu Clan, Daiketsu was the only son of the Daimyo of Osaka. He recieved his formal samurai training at Tadaokibuke Academy in Shizuoka. When his father died in 1962 Daiketsu became the new Daimyo of Osaka at the young age of 17. Despite his youth, Daiketsu was a just and well liked Daimyo, and was able to create alliances with many of the surrounding prefectures.

On 25 December 1979, Daiketsu lead an army of samurai in a siege of the Shogunate Palace. On 15 January 1980, after three weeks of fierce combat, the Kabutotsu clan successfully executed the previous Shogun Kojiro Tokugawa, and took control of the Shogunate of Japan, with Daiketsu as the new Shogun. Daiketsu's only son Daigoro was born in the Shogunate Palace two weeks later.

Daiketsu ruled the military of Japan for 28 years, until he was assasinated in his quarters by members of the Hayashikage Clan on 13 June 2008. Daiketsu's son took his place as the shogun.
