Earth of 9, Strength of 6, BELIEVE the hype 'O masked one'.
I mean, if we wanna go RPG style, Hoturi and Shoju's Reflexes of 5/6 (respectively) mean they go first. And we all know what happens when high IR Kakita and Bayushi bushi go first. 
(And I'm not even mentioning Toshimoko's Ref 6, Fire 7, Void 8 
)

There may not be one, other than the fact the novels were not considered 'canon'. I don't recall seeing it in any 'official' source, but I could be wrong there.

Satsu's writeup in this 2003 Kotei choice includes the vision that Yokuni shared with Satsu. Seems pretty canon to me. 
(It just dawned on me why this was a dumb point to make... I need to sleep )

I concede the point
I still dont think would have been some Satsu Superkill though
Totes Superkill.

re-re-fixed
This RPG talk reminds me that player in my club who maxed out the ability of giving the middle finger to a single opponent by going Shiba Bushi + Kobo Ichi-Kai. His Attack roll was 10k10, with all 6 or higher result exploding, with rolling two dice for each explosion and picking the highest, and doing this over-and-over with each exploding dice. The end result of the Attack roll that outstrips the target's Armor TN directly translates to damage.
I think this character build is one of the three banned L5R builds in my gaming club.

Yeah, I'd have tossed that post-haste as well.

Akuma.
Once again, staying power- Akuma really wasn't around all that long, what with the big ol' Oni that he (foolishly) gave his name to... even when he got made a Dark Fortune, it was only 'cause Akuma no Oni wasn't around anymore...

Akuma no Oni totally counts as part of Isawa Akuma's legacy. They go hand-in-hand.

The (correct!) legacy of Phoenix being dirt-awful at using maho without it killing them pretty damned quick?
'Cause I mean, you wanna talk skilled tsukai who made a go if it, the Crane, Crab, Scorpion, and Unicorn all cranked out far more serious contenders...

Whaaaat? Do you mean that tiny, minor little Junzo incident? That was hardly anything at all. Certainly not as egregious as the Elemental Masters of the time. /waves fan 
I mean, for all the crap the Phoenix catch for the Clan Wars... of the corrupted Council, only Tsuke went full-blown Lost, and the Phoenix took him out (er... after the "nearly wiping out his own Clan" business, of course)..
Whereas Iuchi Shahai, Iuchi Yue, Asahina Yajinden, Kuni Yori, Yogo Junzo... none of them ever faced justice from their own clans. Junzo's soul wasn't even Groved! Kinda pathetic, Scorps!

True, but he wasn't raised 'Imperial' so its a bit of Hair-split
It's a bit like Tarzan.
