Mikoto Clan

The Mikoto Clan (命一族, Mikoto Ichizoku) is an all but extinct clan who were the last organized group of mystics in the ninja world. They were known to be at constant odds against Yūgure and to be the possessors of the kekkei genkai Reisei.

Trivia

 * The kanji 命 (mikoto) is usually translated as inochi and usually means "life." Furthermore, naming in Japanese language usually follows the model with the family name followed by the person's given name. The use of mikoto in the fashion of following the person's given name separated by the particle no is only seen with high ranking Shinto Kami and, by extension, the Japanese imperial line.
 * The aforementioned discrimination on who can bear the suffix no-mikoto is further expressed by how many members of the Mikoto Clan do not have this addition to their name.
