Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, "Freezing the Lifeblood 0G 3FV Kiho Open: Bow one of your Shugenja or Monks to put a Sleep token on a bowed Personality. The token has the trait, 'Each time this Personality tries to straighten, remove one Sleep token instead of straightening him.'" [MRP, Diamond Edition, 27 October 2003] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 57
- Tokens only prevent straightening the turn after the kiho is cast (multiples in one turn are not cumulative) and only for the Personality it was originally cast on. [card text and DW, email] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 27
