Ichi-Tan Micoda

Ichi-Tan Micoda was a male Human Jedi Knight serving with the Jedi Order during the decades leading up to the Clone Wars.

Biography
Although Ichi-Tan graduated at the bottom of his class in the Jedi Temple, persistent effort and hours of studying in the Jedi Archives ensured he passed his early training exams with a thorough understanding of galactic law. Ichi-Tan was adept with communications and negotiation, and served in the Diplomatic Corps and in the Archives law section. This kept him mainly on Coruscant, and so he was one of the Jedi stationed at the Temple when Mace Windu assembled his Jedi strike team to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala on Geonosis. During the battle, he wielded a blue lightsaber.

Ichi-Tan had an unorthodox fighting style, and one that often lost him sparring matches during his training. However, every once in a while, he would pull off a stunning underdog defeat of one of the more powerful and graceful swordsmen in his class. In these matches, Ichi-Tan claimed a quick victory with swift strikes and a penetrating style.

Unfortunately for Ichi-Tan, his fighting style was not powerful enough to take on multiple foes. When the Jedi fought legions of battle droids in the Petranaki arena on Geonosis, Ichi-Tan Micoda battled bravely, but was ultimately overcome and struck down by multiple assailants.
