Illustration of Hohiro Kurita by Zina Saunders

Hohiro Kurita (3023 – 30??) was the eldest son of Theodore Kurita and Tomoe Sakade. As the eldest scion of the head of House Kurita, he was the heir-designate of the Draconis Combine. He ruled the Combine from the time of his father's death during the Jihad until his own demise.


Biography

Hohiro was stationed on Turtle Bay with the 14th Legion of Vega when Clan Smoke Jaguar struck the Combine in 3050. He was captured by the Jaguars, only to be freed by Chu-i Shin Yodama and the local yakuza. He was then posted with the elite Genyosha and bested the Smoke Jaguars on Wolcott. On Teniente, near the end of the Clan invasion, he relieved the commanders of the Third and Eleventh Pesht Regulars who insisted on fighting in "the old ways" which were getting their forces slaughtered, and began an hit and run resistance. As there were no Combine units available, he was rescued by Victor Davion and the newly rebuilt Revenants (part of the 10th Lyran Guards), at the request of Omi Kurita. He later led the Genyosha as part of Prince Victor's relief force to the Lyran world of Coventry in 3058, which was then under assault by Clan Jade Falcon.

Hohiro was appointed the Commanding General of the Star League Defense Force in 3062, a position he held until the dissolution of the Star League in November 3067. No later than December 3067, he was the commanding officer of the 1st Genyosha. Because he was absent from his unit at the time, due to his business on Tharkad, Tai-sa Shih Chou commanded the unit during the Black Dragon Society's coup on Luthien.[1]
