Ozatu Junichiro

Ozatu Junichiro is a rank 1 Hakken.[1]

History

Life as an undercover agent for the Emerald Mother suits Ozatu Junichiro. He works in the executive offices of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing. He is one of the few Hakken who fight effectively on an urban battleground against the evils of the age. The rest of his pack lives along the northeastern coast. When he discovered a talent for dealing with humans (and others) in cities, he and his pack constructed a cover identity for him, one more bit of misdirection. It has worked: Zaibatsu agents who mount routine sweeps for shen in government have never suspected him of being anything orter than the talented young administrator from Nagasaki that he claims to be.

Ozatu is part of a movement within the ministry that seeks closer cooperation with environmental-protection regulators in order to better protect wilderness and wildlife. While the biggest industrial combines hold as much power as ever, popular sentiment among younger Japanese favors more attention to conservation. Ozatu capitalizes on such feelings. His briefings and reports for ministry superiors can make the difference between success and failure in crucial debates.

After-hours, Ozatu takes part in Shinto revival activities by joining meditation and study groups. Without ever directly exerting leadership, he folds in the realities of hengeyokai concerns with what can sometimes be exuberant superstition-building.

Appearance

Ozatu is a nondescript young professional. He cultivates an average appearance in his efforts to avoid standing out in a crowd. Ozatu has no particular distinguishing marks, wears no unusual clothes, shows no behavioral twitches, does not speak too loudly or too softly... only his ideas (and his secret nature) mark him as different.

Home

A small apartment north of Ueno.

Secrets

Ozatu guards the secrets of the hengeyokai, and he knows a great deal about the activities of those breeds that serve the Yama Kings. He also knows about Kuei-jin activities insofar as they affect his conservation and religious concerns.

Influence

Ozatu has a great deal of influence on his ministry's politics - he lacks clout himself, but he provides both information and interpretation to individuals who do have the clout. Thereby, Ozatu shapes the course of policy-making. His unusual dedication gives him an advantage in the endless struggle for ministers' attention, as he has stronger motivation and is willing to persist longer.
