History

Takashi was born to a very high end noble class. A samurai by birth right, and a born prodigy at swordsmanship. His speed is what entitled him to the moniker "Tenken" or Heavenly sword. His specialty is that of Battōjutsu 抜刀術, battōdō; drawing the sword and killing a foe with one lethally precise movement that is as fluid as running water. His father, a general, gave him the proper education needed to become a general in his own right. But shortly after finishing his training, his father was killed by another man in a duel. The mysterious warrior disappeared, and Takashi abandoned his post as acting general and became a ronin wandering the lands in search of duels in hopes that he may one day yet ace the opponent who slew his father.
