=== Gift to Kanpeki ===
Makishi had devised a plan to increase his station among the Spider, to gift the Sparrow Clan to the Spider Clan Champion Daigotsu Kanpeki. He expected to arrange for one among the Spider infiltrator to marry the Sparrow Clan Champion's sister, and marry Suzume Ryosuke with a tainted supai, Suzume Aya. Within one generation, the leadership of the Sparrow would be completely with the Spider. 
=== Exposed ===
In 1199, Daigotsu Ryudo, known as Suzume Tatsu, and many of the other infiltrators, disillusioned with the Spider Clan, were asked by Daigotsu Makishi to aid him in killing the Sparrow Clan Champion, Suzume Ryosuke, thereby gaining complete control of the clan. Instead, Ryudo led a group of infiltrators, who had become loyal to the Sparrow, against Makishi's assassins, saving Ryosuke and allowing him to escape with a message to Empress Iweko I at Toshi Ranbo. Kanpeki savowed any knowledge of Makishi's mechanizations, and Makishi was punished with forced labour, alongside any other Suzume of the Sparrow lands.
