Young Scorpion governor of Higshikawa District.
Yoto's Who's Who
Although a well-known face in the Forbidden City and Imperial Court, Mukai is still incredibly young and inexperienced as a governor.
Tadaji's Memoirs
I met with Mukai not long after he was named Governor. The poor boy was completely overwhelmed. A minnow thrown in with the sharks.
Over tea, he told me how he struggled to learn all he needed to know to do his job, and how so many of the other Governors had already reached out to him. For a Scorpion, he seemed remarkably credulous. I told him Hayasu could be trusted, of course. Meyori and Meiyoko are as new as he is, and while they are probably no threat, they have very little stability to offer. Mukai knew nothing of the simmering, silent war between Hojize and Hinjaku, or the punishments that have fallen on those who act against Toyotomi. For his sake, I hope Mukai learns quickly, or he won’t survive long enough for the district to take his name.
