Koto

Koto was a nation in Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut.

Description
Little is known about Koto, but it appears to be based on Japan. It was a small island country in the east, its inhabitants have Japanese names (for example, the royal family's surname was "Habakiri"), and its culture included Japanese elements such as folding fans. According to Yoruka, its royal court was "like a rubbish heap where every single person only thought of kicking down another person".

History
Prior to the beginning of the series, Yoruka Kirihime (then Yoruka Habakiri) lost her status as princess of the country due to her natural talent for killing. Yoruka's father later died from sickness, resulting in her younger brother succeeded the throne. However, Yoruka's fighting skills allowed her to join the royal guard for her brother.

Koto's downfall began when it got into a dispute with the Old Arcadia Empire over trade resources. This eventually led to open war. The Empire's forces were able to surround the castle of Koto while Yoruka was outside it. To protect her brother's life, Yoruka chose to swear an oath to become an assassin for the Empire. However, the chief vassals of Koto had already given up the war due to the greater strength of the Empire. They laid the blame on Yoruka's brother, killed him by decapitation and presented his head to the Empire.
