'''Tenno Kurita''' was the second [[Coordinator]] of the [[Draconis Combine]].

==History==
The son of the Draconis Combine's founder [[Shiro Kurita]], Tenno Kurita succeeded his father as Coordinator upon the latter's death in [[2348]]. Though a mild-mannered man who lacked his predecessor's political and strategic genius, Tenno proved to be an able administrator and ruler of the Combine. His reign saw the division of the Combine into [[Military District (Draconis Combine)|military districts]] and prefectures (a system that remained in use throughout the Combine's history), the promotion of industrial development and population growth throughout the Combine, and a thawing in diplomatic relations with the [[Terran Hegemony]].

Tenno Kurita faced his greatest crisis in December [[2375]]. On [[Rasalhague]], local terrorists assaulted the Combine governor's palace and slaughtered district governor [[Vladimir Kurita]] and almost his entire family, as well as Tenno's sister [[Omi Kurita|Omi]]. Shamed by his failure to ensure his sister's safety, Tenno contemplated ''[[seppuku]]'' to atone for his disgrace, a decision encouraged by his ambitious son [[Nihongi Kurita|Nihongi]]. When Omi's body arrived on [[New Samarkand]] in March 2376, Tenno carried out his suicide and was gratefully succeeded as Coordinator by Nihongi.<ref>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 28: "Tenno's Reign"</ref>
