Kakita Taki

Kakita Taki, was the Kakita Daimyo during the rule of Hantei XX. He was a contender of the Test of the Emerald Champion and in the final confronted a former ronin, Akodo Kenburo, now the adopted brother of the Lion Clan Champion. Despite Taki's training and his Kakita Blade the Lion achieved victory. Taki was deeply shaken by the experience, later telling his wife, “To stare into that monster's eyes is to have Jigoku stare back at you.”
