Kitsuki Chizaru was an Emerald Magistrate of the Dragon Clan. He was appointed at Ryoko Owari alongside with Shinjo Turong as yoriki. In 1165 a new chief magistrate was appointed, Doji Satori. Three weeks after his arrival they investigated the murder of Asako Yaro, chief adjunct to the Phoenix Clan ambassador. Disguised, Yaro had arrived to a seedy tea house to feed his opium vice. There he had been killed, his throat cut from behind. Surprisingly it was found evidence of poison in his body, so two different parties had sought Yaro's demise.
