Kurosawa Clan

The Kurosawa Clan, also known as the Imperial Kurosawa Clan or the Imperial House of Kurosawa, is the ruling House of the Empire of Gao-Soto. It was founded following the proclamation of a provisional Septembrist government of the United Imperial Crownlands of Hulstria and Gao-Soto to succeed the extinct Okatori Clan, which had merged into the House of Rothingren-Traugott, the heir to which, Otto III of Hulstria was ethnically Hulstrian and believed himself to be unable for this reason to represent Gao-Soto. After searching the genealogical records, a commoner, Nakashima Morihito, was found to be the closest female-line descendant of Okatori Kurosawa, and proclaimed as Mikado Morihito of Gao-Soto, becoming the head of a new Imperial Clan named for his famed progenitor (as Gao-Showan naming customs dictate Clans are named for legendary progenitors) and taking the name Kurosawa Morihito.
