Who here thinks that the Sessamoto family from "PATHFINDER" bear a remarkable similarity to the Japanese imperial family the Yamamoto both in name and in method of coming to power and the way their rule came to an end.

the Sessamoto where a large and dominant tribe that came into an area and took over, claiming divine right as did the Yamamoto

The sessamoto lost their power when the people took over in a revolution which put power into the hands of the "secretary/council" the Yamamoto lost power to the Ashikaga family during the war with between the Heike and the Genji in the name of more practical leadership. Close.

Any thoughts?
