Shiba Tsubeko was a weaponsmith invited to craft in Tsi Xing Guo's forge a pair of Jitte, the Celestial Jitte.

Test of the Master Smith
The Fortune of Steel, Tsi Xing Guo, descended from the heavens and selected a Phoenix, Tsubeko, to work the Celestial Forge. Tsubeko was granted after she finalized succesfully a quest. When Tsubeko returned she revealed the weapons would be given to a suitable hero.

Shiba Yoma, the Voice fo the Council, suggested using the weapons to bury the Phoenix's long-standing enmity with the Jade Champion, Kuni Utagu. Yoma was who found Tsubeko dead and the jittes stolen.

A Dark Lord's demons had murdered Tsubeko and stole the jitte.
