doji chitose and kyuden kyotei (L5R rules board)

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing.

Doji Chitose Reaction: Even if Chitose is bowed, after a Political action resolves: Move your target Personality to Chitose's location. Straighten the target if he moved.

Kyuden Kyotei Political Reaction: Even if this Stronghold is bowed, if you control the Imperial Favor, before a Fate card out of play turns face-up: Give the card +1 Focus Value when it turns face-up.

Assuming my opponent controls the favor:

Is increasing the focus value of any battle action with the stronghold ability a legal trigger for Doji Chitose?

Example: Rapid Deployment Battle: Target one of your Samurai Personalities at the current battlefield: Target two of your units not there. Move them there. If you are defending, straighten each of these units that moved.

If my opponent has Doji Chitose at a battlefield and 3 personalities at home can he Rapid Deployment to move two, bump the focus value of the card before he shows it, and move the 3rd person to Doji Chitose's battlefield?

Thank you.

The stronghold has a Political action. Yes.
