Juro Kananosaki

Juro Kananosaki Age: 60 (in 1001)

As Lord High Executioner, Kananosaki is responsible for all issues relating to justice, crime, and corruption in Oyashima. This is always a powerful position, but Juro's personal friendship with the emperor (dating back to their childhoods) makes it even more potent a post.

As Lord High Executioner, Kananosaki commands the White Tigers, an elite group of samurai who defend judges and officials, guard the inner sanctums of major palaces, and provide honor guards for visiting dignitaries.

Kananosaki is in charge of the manhunt for the fugitive Yoshida daimyos, believed to be on Hokkaido. He is viewed as a mortal enemy of the Yoshidas in general. He is a high-ranking member of Clan Fukui.
