Matsu Taki

Matsu Taki was a bushi of the Lion Clan. He was under the command of Matsu Tsuko when for unknown reasons he fought against a sohei of the Order of Kaimetsu-uo. Taki guessed his training with the katana would give the upperhand against an unarmed opponent. The monk first attack removed the Hara-ate, sode and kote protections, leaving Taki nearly naked. Taki counterattacked without result, and the sohei managed to block a devastating blow, broken Taki's blade in two with his bare hands, so Tsuko ordered to stop the fight.
