Hey, when was everyone born? Though the exact Birthday isn't quite important, having a Month/Year will help.
There is information on Months on page 42 (you'll want to use the Formal listings). You can give exact birthdays if you want for further accuracy, but note that months only go up to 28 days.
I'm going to construct a general timeline, including when the PCs were born, so everyone can know what relevant things might have been part of their childhoods smile
Birthdates!
Kitsu Kyumi - 25th day of the month of the Boar, 1132
Bayushi Kojiro - 5th day of the month of the Rooster, 1130
Kaiu Kagae - 17th day of the month of the Dog, 1128
Matsu Seichiro - 15th day of the month of the Horse, 1128
Kakita Zanzen - XXth day of the month of the Tiger, 1130
Ujina Denbe - 25th day of the month of the Rooster, 1132
Shosuro Miyako - 12th day of the month of the Dog, 1135
Kitsuki Masuyo - 13th day of the month of the Dog, 1130
