Lord Noriyuki seems awfully young to be Lord of the Geishu, even younger than the 15-year age of majority in feudal Japan. How old is he?
(UY Vol 3, #28) I have taken some liberties in Noriyuki. Samurai boys had their hair turned into topknots and officially became men at age 15. There are many cases in which children were declared the lord of a clan, though the true power was held by regents. Noriyuki is 10-12 years old. I chose to make him a very precocious child mainly for story purposes. He rules with the help of many advisors, Tomoe among them.
