I am looking at the new Death at Koten set and I have a question about Togashi Sho, specifically his trait.
Togashi Sho Dragon Clan - Fire - Monk - Tattooed Sho has +3F if a Tattoo card is in your discard pile.
In looking through all the cards (Samurai and Celestial Edition bugs), I found only 1 card with the keyword "Tattoo".
Viper Tattoo Tattoo Battle: Target your opposed unbowed Tattooed Personality: His tattoo comes alive. Bow a target card opposing him without attachments and with equal or lower Force. Give the Tattooed Personality +2F.
All other cards have the keyword "Tattooed". Are "Tattoo" and "Tattooed" the same for Sho's trait? If so, would any card that has the keyword "Tattooed" count, Fate or Dynasty discard pile?
Thanks.

Keywords: In keywords, parts of words or phrases are not the same as the whole word or phrase.
"Tattoo" and "Tattooed" are different keywords.
Also, Kami Unleashed from Glory of the Empire is a Tattoo card.
