Neddle

“Needle” was the nickname of a ronin samurai-ko who hired her sword to honorable charges. The magistrate Yogo Tanaka took her as his yoriki during an investigation near Mura Sabishii Toshi, endorsed by the Ichiba's Consortium.

Death
Tanaka tracked down the bandit's chief, who was known as “Akira”, a man working at the Daidoji Trading Council's warehouse. They rushed into Akira's house to find him dead, murdered by an assailant, who also killed Neddle.
