General Profile
Muhaki Zazu, the youngest son of a former Yasuki daimyo, until recently wed to late Muhaki Genjiko, the Tortoise Champion, is now the acting Champion himself. During his wife's rule he mostly stayed away from governing and was more broadly known for his sybaritic lifestyle. Still, he he asserted the leadership over the beleaguered Clan right after her death in lieu of his only son and rightful heir Saionji who has been away from Rokugan for at least two years now. Since then, he has strengthened Tortoise ties with his former Clan and has made amends to the Imperial Families, ending their campaign of requisition of Tortoise assets.

The most apt description one might be able to give to Muhaki Zazu is... vibrant and jovial. He is well-known for being both friendly and charming to the level of overdoing it, also for being so in less than proper venues. Even if he frowns or make serious face, it is for comical intent. He enjoys the company of others, whether they be people to drink and gamble with, geisha or outright prostitutes. Those that spend time with him tend to have a good time as long as they share his taste for debauchery. Not least because he likes to spend money without counting them, like a lot.

Looks
A man in his fifties, though looking older for grizzled hair and general lack of a healthy lifestyle, he can be likened to the rolling ball as he is both corpulent because of his gluttonous profligacy and being toward the shorter end. He sports facial hair and a traditional knot. He can rarely can be seen without a snack. Or a pretty escort of either sex. He dresses lavishly though not intricately to the point of constraining his comfort.

Juicy Bits
He and his wife were rumoured to be estranged for years, and he had hardly any role in bringing up Saionji. He was probably kept away from family affairs and he may have never left Rokugan on a sea voyage, an oddity for a Tortoise. It is thus no wonder that the Tortoise have received his claim to power with mixed feelings, though with both Genjiko and Sadahako gone they have not opposed it since Zazu himself claimed he is an interim ruler, waiting for Saionji's return like the rest. There might be some growing discontent that he has not properly investigated the circumstances of the sudden deaths of both matrons of the Clan, but his moves to alleviate Imperial wrath and strengthen ties with the Yasuki are generally well-received.

Probably the most outrageous rumour related to him is that he seeks to marry again, and soon. He has allegedly approached Miya Odorihime over the issue. It is outrageous on many levels, also because the talk of his fondness of boys has never died.
