If I discard a Gozoku Pawn to Doji Konishiko when she comes into play, then next turn bow her to use the effect; would I have to bow a second coutier or gozoku to meet the cost of Gozoku Pawn? Or would bowing Doji Konishiko satisfy that cost?
EDIT: Thanks for the speedy response

Konishiko could bow to pay the cost.
