Hakutoku founded the Kou Empire. He unified three countries in order to save the people of Tenka, in the extreme Eastern Plains, who were suffering because they were divided and fighting against each other.

He had four children with his wife, Gyokuen Ren (from older to the younger): Hakuyuu Ren, Hakuren Ren, Hakuei Ren and Hakuryuu Ren.

Hakutoku and his two older sons, Hakuyuu and Hakuren, died in a fire during a revolt.
