Goju Kumoro: Ninja Open: Create a battlefield (not at any Province). Assign Kumoru to attack there and another player's target unbowed Personality to defend there. Fight a battle there. Battle resolution there will not destroy Personalities. Lose 2 Honor.
Poison Sake: Open,2 : Bow your target unbowed Courtier or Ninja. Target another player's Personality. After the next time (this turn) his controller assigns him, targets him, or an action from a card in his unit resolves, give him two -1F/-1C Poison tokens.
Does Kumoro trigger Poison Sake since it is not the controller assigning him, rather it is Kumoro's ability?
