- Name meaning
- **Amatsuki** (天月) = 天 *ama* 'heaven / sky' + 月 *tsuki* 'moon' → literally 'heaven moon / sky moon.' One of the **five daimyo clans** serving the Kozuki (光月 'shining moon') shogunate; carries the **月 'moon' kanji** that marks the loyal Wano houses, the mark the disgraced Kurozumi (黒炭 'black charcoal') uniquely lacks. **Name-match (NOT asserted on-page):** Kozuki Toki's maiden surname is also '**Amatsuki**' (天月, @0964) — record the shared name; the Toki↔Amatsuki-daimyo connection is not stated on-page in-window (see Wano's Daimyo Clans open questions).
Lineage: one of the five daimyo clans serving the Kozuki shogunate of Wano; named on-page (silhouette) in Orochi’s origin flashback Ch. 965. Clan name only — no individual member named or clearly shown.

Why this family matters (plot weight)
One of the five daimyo clans serving the Kozuki shogunate, named on-page (silhouette) in Orochi’s origin flashback (Ch. 965 p. 9): Fugetsu, Amatsuki, Uzuki, Kurozumi, Shimotsuki. Per the flashback, the daimyo clans were rivals for the childless previous shogun’s seat and targets of the Kurozumi poison plot. Only the clan name is given — no individual member is named or clearly shown.
Open questions
- ⚠ NAME-MATCH, NOT asserted: Kozuki Toki’s maiden name is “Amatsuki Toki” (stated Ch. 964). Whether Toki’s surname ties to this Amatsuki daimyo clan is NOT stated on-page — record the name-match but do not assert a connection. (Toki claims to be from ~800 years ago; the link is forward/unconfirmed.)
