I bring Tsuruchi Etsui XP1 into play, targeting Daidoji Kikaze XP with Etsui's trait. Can Daidoji Kikaze XP use Determination with his battle ability to move to a battlefield if Etsui is not bowed or out of play?
Tsuruchi Etsui XP and Determination

The "cannot" on the Experienced Tsuruchi Etsui is simple negation (http://rules.l5r.com/Glossary_C#Cannot), so yes.
