Storyline

Like his cousin Kenshi, Takeda was raised a Yakuza. Unlike him, Takeda enjoyed this lifestyle. That's why he was chosen to end Kenshi’s crusade against his masters. The fight mortally wounded Takeda. Unwilling to let his cousin die, Kenshi rushed him to the nearest help: the Shirai Ryu. Even after Takeda was healed, Kenshi wouldn't release him. He feared that the Yakuza might kill him for failing his mission. Takeda resisted, attempting escape repeatedly. But as the months passed, he began to appreciate the Shirai Ryu’s selfless commitment to Earthrealm, and the contrast to his past lifestyle. Inspired by the Shirai Ryu, Takeda swore to rip up Earthrealm's underworld by the roots. But he soon learns they are stronger and more tangled than he ever thought possible.
