Hi,
The Spirit personality created by Kitsune Tokoru has no name, ok. 1 - Does the use of its battle ability count toward the Ring of Water ? 2 - If the answer of the first question is YES : If I manage to give another battle ability to this personality by whatever way and I use the two battle abilities during the same battle. How many actions should I count toward the Ring of Water ? 1 or 2 ?
Card's texts : Kitsune Tokoru : Reaction: After Tokoru enters play: Create a 4F/2C/3PH Mantis Clan • Nonhuman • Bear • Spirit Personality with the ability, "Battle: Target an attacking enemy card: Bow it. Destroy it if it is an attachment."
Ring of Water : After you resolve your fourth or later Battle action from cards with different titles in one battle: You may put this card into play from your hand.
Thanks in advance, Regards, Rémi

No. This is an extension of this rule for keywords.
http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Card_features#D ... e_keywords: "A card without a certain type of keyword has neither a 'different' nor 'the same' keyword as another card."
Thus, a card without a title does not count as a card with a "different" title, as required by the Ring of Water.
