Talk:Isawa Ochiai

About year of birth:
I determined the rough estimate for her birth based on 2 factors.

1) She is Tamori Nakamuro younger sister, Nakamuro was born in 1136 meaning the earliest she was likely to be born was 1137.

2) She was appointed Master of Fire in 1159 after the death of Isawa Hochiu, the likely hood of her being appointed to such a position before her Gempukku is unlikely, meaning she was likely over the age of 14 (more likely closer to 20).

Using these 2 points I was able to determine a rough estimate of her age. With 1137 as the earliest possible year of birth (since she is younger then Tamori Nakamuro) and the latest year being being 1140 (which would make her 19 when she was appointed Master of Fire). If the year of Nakamuro and Ochiai's parents' death is given this would be able to narrow down the time period even further. --Macilnar 14:53, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
