Yes, definitely. We have yet to discover the Kolat's true intentions, but as
for know I think we should stay away from them. I'd think we'd rather not risk
losing honor for an Assassin or two. It's pointless. We don't need to resort
to "other means" to defeat our enemies. And while I do believe reputation is
not important, Hitomi's reputation was part of the reason the Naga attacked.
We can't afford something like that again. And we got lucky it was just those
pathetic snake things. If Toturi (false or not) found out about  Kolat within
our ranks he might sick the Corns or even the Monkeys on us! Better watch out
for Toku [in his most sarcastic voice]!

Hey, Sukune is I think the only Dragon personality remaining with the cavalry
trait...that means if he's a Kolat there goes our entire cavalry force! Yikes!
Unless of course Hoshi came back...and this is assuming Sukune has survived.
As for Kaagi he's probably a Ninja anyway, and Yasu would be nice if his costs
went down. I sure hope there is no Kolat in our clan! I mean the way we have
been honorably playing I see no legitimate reason for the designers to do that
to use. I'm just waiting to see if Yokatsu is a Kolat! THAT would be fitting!
