Very late BUT, while Matoba is no fan of kappa more than he is of any other youkai, he recognizes the need to keep them within the Alliance politically, SO; with him still down an arm, he can help contribute by negotiating contracts for work with local businesses and bookkeeping!

He's also willing to give a little extra... insight, security-wise. If there's any worry about the kappa being targeted by anyone bitter about the Night Parade attack (or especially enemy clans), he knows how to set protective charms and wards that can be used safely by spirits to ward off malice. He'll only speak up about it if there's any mutters about that going around, though... He's keeping those pretty close to the vest.
