===Kakita Family===
Where those who followed Doji's path took her name, their children who chose their father's path became the Kakita. Kakita are known for two things: art and ''iaijutsu''. Kakita, Hantei's first Emerald Champion, developed the art of the quickdraw into THE defining dueling style in Rokugan using the ethos that a single, perfect strike could bring things to a swift and tidy end. With its philosophical bent and meditative focus emphasizing the unity of mind, body, skill, and soul, it took over Rokugan's social scene like wildfire, further popularized by his text on swordplay titled "''The Sword''". They are most commonly seen at courts as the protectors of the Doji, there to uphold their honor in a duel or to quickly strike down anyone brash enough to attack directly.

While any Clan may produce its own expert duelists, the Kakita have a considerable advantage as THE ''iaijutsu'' specialists and creators, with their own Kakita Academy and family culture being very conducive to producing the ideal ''iai'' mindset. But his family are also more than just duelists. Kakita are perfectionists who devote themselves to their craft, whether it is dueling, art, or politics. In everything they do, they seek to reach the greatest heights of mastery as an expression of art and culture.
