What is the clan name?: Kyokosaka
Who founded the clan?: Kimmimaru Kyokosaka
How was the clan founded?: In the time of old, which in fact was not that too long ago, there was a single man who trained under the Captain Commander. This man, well this child bared the name of Kimmimaru Kyokosaka. This being would become infamous throughout the whole Seireitei as becoming one of the best assassins to ever exist through out the entire history of the Gotei 14 Court Guard Squads. Kimmimaru despite his childish appearance and as well as his childish nature is in fact one of the oldest captains to date. He had been around for quite some time. Kimmimaru would eventually be bestowed on becoming the first Squadron Captain of Squadron Two. However, in doing so to create political balance, within Squadron Two and this new secret force that he was bestowed on creating, he would also create a Noble House in which balanced and overruled the very force he was commissioned to make. This force would eventually become known as the Onmitsukidō.
The actual Onmitsukidō was made as the Secret Force within the entire Gotei 14 Court Guard Squads however, what force would balance their actions out? What word of justification will keep the Onmitsukidō from growing to powerful or out of the jurisdiction? What family would come together and form and rule the Onmitsukidō? These were all questions that would have to be answered because it was not garunteed that a Captain of the Squadron in the future would be as dedicated in keeping the so called 'Madness' of the world in tact, like the ideals of Kimmimaru. So in order to make sure that Squadron Two would never go out of balance, Kimmimaru gathered together four clans and adopted it under one household name. The name of Kyokosaka.
In time, Kimmimaru would search the Rukongai as well as various unknown places to find clans who specialized in the 'dark arts' or art of killing as well as law making. In his search he would find the house of Kaine. The house of Kaine was a house that was poor and lived on the edge of the Rukongai districts. This house specializes in poisons and killing those in secretive manners. Thus their emblem is that of the scorpion. This house is sworn in loyalty in directly to Kimmimaru himself. The next house, is the of Fēnghuang. The house of Fēnghuang was developed in the middle of no where. They specialized in longevity as well as lawful resources. Thus them emblem is a of a Phoenix. Kimmimaru had stumbled upon this family once their Clan Leader had died, and he bared no children thus the bloodline was lost. In a panic of sorts, the family in a swift nature swore its allegiance to Kimmimaru in a state to gain power as well as to get a head. The third and last house was the house of Hara. The house of Hara was in fact a house or a clan that terrorized the Rukongai. This house specialized in force combat and the way of the sword. Eventually, bestowed on to him by the Captain Commander, the first assassination that Kimmimaru was blessed or fortunate was of a man named Shunsui Hara. Who was the current head of the Hara clan. The clan had grown powerful and strong. They were causing chaos and uproar and became a potential threat to the creation of the Gotei 14 Court Guard Squads. In order to prevent a bad turn of events, Kimmimaru slayed the head of the family. It was because of the brutish way that the family acted, that they would recognize Kimmimaru as the new house head for he was the one to kill their previous. Thus swearing loyalty to the family. Now that Kimmimaru had three factions or clans that sweared their loyalty to Kimmimaru how does each clan make in appearance in the Kyokosaka clan?
Well, unlike the rest of the noble houses, The Kyokosaka house is actually broken down into four factions each with a distinct an different purpose. Also each clan is given a ranking in power and stature within the house. The lower the ranking, the more powerful the clan is within the house. Those who are born or married into the Kaine clan deal with making poisons and long range attacks. This faction of the family helps contributes idealism within Squadron Four and Twelve if needed. This clan is notably the fourth ranking clan within the noble house. Those who are born or married into the Fēnghuang clan deal with law making and stature estates. This house is directly connected to Central 46. This clan serves as the connection point between Onmitsukidō and Central Forty-Six. It is said that out of the members of this house, eight of them hold a high position within Central Forty-Six. One of them is rumored to be one of the 'big three'. Although, this is a rumor and has yet to be confirmed. This clan holds the second most dominant ranking within house of Kyokosaka. Those who are born or married into the house of Hara are blessed with the talent of sword making and specializing. This fraction of the house has a personal armory in which they create weapons. Thus their emblem is that of a sword. This house is so large in population wise compared to the others that in fact most of this house serves as the basis and foundation of the Onmitsukidō. It is a tradition when once becomes of age, the age of sixteen, within this house to immediately apply to become one with the Onmitsukidō. When one has served a three year term after becoming of age, one may choose to stay in the Onmitsukidō or go back to the clan and work in the armory. This house holds the ranking of third in power within the Kyokosaka. The last clan within the Kyokosaka noble house is the clan of Kyokosaka itself. This clan's purpose is to oversee all other clans and make sure that they can mesh and become one. However, in this clan one is not simply born in. In order to become a Kyokosaka member you must be adopted into the family of Kyokosaka by Kimmimaru himself. This is done so the beings who hold the most potential and hold the most promising stature only bear the name of Kyokosaka. If two Kyokosaka members were to give birth to a child, that child would take the name of the mother's original clan name until they have proven they are worth being adopted by the Kyokosaka house. This is the smallest fraction of the house of Kyokosaka because of the fact that it is made up of the elites of all three clans, but this clan holds the most power of the Kyokosaka's,
Does your clan possess a special power of sorts?: The clan does not have any special prowess. However, each fraction of the clan are trained and adapt in Hoho abilities as well as assassination techniques.
