The Kakita family were descended from the children of Doji and Kakita who decided to take their father's name. They comprised a great portion of the Crane Clan's armies and were arguably the finest artisans and duelists in the Empire. Many Kakita would often train in the Doji schools as well.

About the Crane Clan
The Crane Clan, Left Hand of the Emperor, is known throughout Rokugan for its skilled duelists and artisans. The Crane are also noted courtiers, wielding great power in the courts of the land. The Crane were founded by the Kami Doji.

Mon is a term used for Rokugani family crests. They are somewhat like coats of arms in that they are either associated with a particular family, or an individual who has achieved some variety of public recognition. Crests add formality to a kimono. Also it displays the person's affiliation to those around him/her.

Proper use
The Mon is not just the symbol of the people currently in the clan. It also represents the souls of all the ancestors of the clan.

*Note: These are simple representations of the clan and the families I play as, from the LARP and/or TCG created by AEG. For more information about these crests and other clans, please visit theWikia.
