All lords maintain a healthy number of household guards, training warriors to keep them safe from their enemies. The Takashi guard’s body may not be as honed as that of the Ashigaru who constantly train and drill. This does not mean that their eyes are not sharp as blades and their ears keen as hawks, skills developed over the years watching for threats to their lords and ladies.

A ward is a member of a noble clan who has been taken in by another clan to be raised for a time. The practice varies, with it sometimes being undertaken voluntarily - to help prospective heirs learn the customs of other clans as part of their education. It can also be involuntarily, with the "ward" actually being a "hostage" for his or her clan's good behaviour or until a ransom is paid. Sometimes, as part of marriage alliances, one of the betrothed is taken as a ward so he or she can get to know his or her future spouse. IIju is not Dragon but Hare, although his loyalty to the Takashi is unquestioned, he is the head of the Takashi household guard whom follow his orders without hesitation.

The Takashi clan have long followed the teachings of Michi and unlike some of the other clans in the Jwar Isles strictly adhere to its teachings when raising the next generation. The Michi priests already offer the support of their military arm in the form of the Seishin na Geoi, but are not opposed to accompanying any believes on their paths, whether that leads them to battle or otherwise. Through years of dedication the Michi priests are able to evoke the protective powers of their ancestors, dousing flame, neutralising poisons or the intrusive commands of others. The presence of the spirits can also be used to distract and block the concentration of enemies.

Takashi Akio is a legendary sensei of the finest sword Gakko in Ryu. The majority of the Takashi line has learning under his excellent tutelage. Now in the twilight years of his life and with the need for all able body warriors to answer Hida’s call, Akio has put down his Bokken and stepped forward to offer his life in service to his lord. Still a fearsome warrior but the real advantage he offers any fighting force is his expert knowledge of combat. His ability to instruct the samurai around him with either a point to a chink in a seemingly impenetrable suit of armour to a swift reminder of the techniques he taught them on the dust training ring of the Gakko, he is another strong commander to join the Prefecture of Ryu’s ranks.
