Shigeko was a ronin maiden who married Inabe and had a son, Tawagoto.

Inabe's Death
In the War of Spirits Inabe uncovered a plot against Emperor Toturi I, and was killed fighting the assassins. His sacrifice was later honored by Toturi's daughter, Toturi Tsudao, who granted his son Tawagoto a place as a Nikutai in the First Imperial Legion shortly after his gempukku.

Rie
Shigeko took care of his son's daughter, Rie, the time Tawagoto was on duty. When his son murdered a wicked taisa of the Legion she and Rie were left safe in Tanaki Mura.
