== Ishiken ==
Takashi grew up in Northern Phoenix lands until his talents manifested, becoming an acolyte of the Master of Void Isawa Kimi at Kyuden Isawa. A proficient warrior, he spent much of his time training with the Shiba. Unexpected Allies 2, p. 50
== Destroyer War ==
When the Destroyer War began, Takashi volunteered to aid the Crab. Shiba Rae, Chui of Takashi's detachment, ordered that two skilled yojimbo were to attend him at all times. 
=== Sanctified Ones ===
Soshi Yoshihara was appointed as commander of the Sanctified Ones, the secretive shugenja branch of the Empress' Guard, with Isawa Takashi as her second. The Emerald Champion Shosuro Jimen informed Yoshihara that a new member of the Sanctified, M'rika, was a member of the Spider Clan, and her allegiance to the Empress Iweko I was unclear. Yoshihara gathered Takishi and two new members, M'rika, and Kitsu Katsuki. She told a leak had happened and it had been made known who four members of the Sanctified Ones were. The next Empress journey would be concealed with three decoy caravans, and the true one would be led by M'rika. When she was alone with Takashi, Yoshihara explained the leak was a fake, and the Empress would not travel. Yoshihara would be the woman at the palanquin protected by M'rika, and appointed Takishi as her escort. If there was an assault on what M'rika believed to be the Empress, Yoshihara would be able to expose both her and the Spider Clan as threats to the Empress.
