'''Nihongi Kurita''' was the third [[Coordinator]] of the [[Draconis Combine]].
+
Nihongi Kurita (b.[[2336]] - d.[[2396]]); third Coordinator of the [[Draconis Combine]].
  
==History==
+
A short-sighted and lacklustre ruler, Nihongi coveted his father's position as Coordinator while the latter was alive. From his accession to the throne in 2376 to his death twenty years later, Nihongi accomplished nothing in his entire reign. His sole achievements were in the realm of horse-riding and -breeding, a pastime which he indulged while neglecting his duties as Coordinator.
While his father [[Tenno Kurita|Tenno]] reigned, the vain and petty Nihongi thought of nothing but succeeding his father as Coordinator. When his aunt [[Omi Kurita]] was killed by [[Principality of Rasalhague|Rasalhagian]] terrorists in December [[2375]], Nihongi encouraged his father's decision to commit ''[[seppuku]]'' a few months later.
 
  
From the time he gained the throne in March [[2376]] until his death twenty years later, Nihongi proved to be a weak and lackluster ruler. The position he had coveted so desperately now proved worthless to him, and Nihongi could do little more than petulantly demand obedience from everybody. Unlike his [[Shiro Kurita|legendary grandfather]] or competent father, Nihongi accomplished nothing of note in his entire reign.
+
 
+
==Positions==
Nihongi's sole achievements in life were in the realm of horse-riding and horse-breeding, a pastime which he indulged while neglecting his duties as Coordinator. This indifference aroused concern throughout the Combine, and by November [[2393]] several factions devoted to his removal (peacefully or otherwise) had arisen. Nihongi's more industrious son [[Robert Kurita|Robert]] was among the plotters preparing to kill him, but Nihongi abruptly solved the problem for everybody by falling and breaking his neck while horse-riding. Robert was thus able to mount the throne without resorting to patricide.<ref>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', pp. 28–29</ref>
