Jikoju was one of the Guardians of the Four Winds, the Fortune of the East Wind. He was generallybenevolent and favored among farmers. Because the east wind blowed from the seas of Rokugan, it was considered a thing of exoticism and mystery, bearing the unknown from whatever lands laid across the seas. He was favored by the Tribe of Jikoju, who considered Jikoju was superior to all other Fortunes.
