Important Notes
The Emerald Empire is still ruled by the Hantei family, and there is no Toturi family. The current Hantei is the 38th, who was Hantei Jodan before his coronation in 1103. His father was Hantei Yatoshin before his coronation, and his only living son is known as Hantei Sotorii, a young child born in 1107.
Otomo Yoroshiku is currently believed to be the Emperor's niece. She is the daughter of the late Otomo Jiko, and as far as the most of the Empire is aware, the 38th Hantei's late brother. She and Hantei Satorii are the only eligible, directly related members of the Imperial line.
