Takeshi (I)

Takeshi was a member of the Crab Clan who retired as a sōhei of the Order of Osano-wo.
== Retirement ==
Having lost his leg in battle against the creatures of the Shadowlands, Takeshi retired to Shinden Kasai, where he learned to fight all over again. He saw Osano-wo in a dream, and began to teach others, taking the name Takeshi. He was a large and fearsome monk who wholeheartedly accepted his new life and considers himself fortunate. He had a prosthetic wooden leg under his hakama, and he was more acrobatic than his large size made him appear. Emerald Empire: The Essential Guide to Rokugan, p. 182
== Kaiu Blade==
A group of samurai brought to the sōhei a claim from Takeshi's family, the ownership of a Kaiu Blade he took with him to the temple. They said he should have left this family heirloom behind, and that he only gave it to the temple once he was a monk, when it was no longer his to give. Takeshi refused to let them take the weapon, which was locked in the temple vault, which contained many sacred weapons and items. Eventually he agreed to ask the master sensei for the vault key on their behalf, but only if they dueled him and prove their worth, letting Osano-wo decide the victor.
