Taishiji is a fighter who had trained with Ukitsu before he joined Yoshu Academy.
Soul History[]
Taishiji was a famous general known for his heroism who challenged Sonsaku to a duel when his leader was at odds with him; Sonsaku admired him greatly, even giving him a very prestigious role in his kingdom.
Appearance[]
Taishiji is a dark-skinned man with two dreadlocks coming down on both shoulders. He usually wears a white shirt, a bandana, and a pair of sunglasses.
Personality[]
Taishiji is a very respectful and honorable person, as shown when he withdrew the Yoshu fighters who were clearly outnumbering a single fighter.
Story (Manga)[]
A skilled and honorable fighter, Taishiji refused to kill Hakufu despite being ordered to do so; he tried to stop other assassins from finishing his job but was stabbed in the back, putting him in a coma and paralyzing him from the waist down. However, he seems to be recovering from his injuries.
He used to be one of Ukitsu's sparring partners; it is said that Ukitsu always held back when sparring with Taishiji because she liked him, though she was still injuring him when they fought. While Taishiji was kept in the hospital, a girl from Nanyo often visited him and sat by his side—it turns out that she was transferring her chi into Taishiji to help him recover from his injuries. He wakes up from his coma in time to join the Sekiheki battle, rescuing several injured Nanyo and Seito fighters and also defeating Kouha Kannei, who was possessed by Ryofu's bloodlust.
Story (Anime)[]
Ikkitousen[]
Taishiji first appears during the fight between the Kyoshou fighters and Koukin, stopping Hannou from attacking Koukin with a crowbar and detailing Hannou's plan to rape Hakufu when she reached his location with disgust, claiming he was not a fighter. He then fights Koukin, who made him promise that if Koukin could get a hit on him, he would leave Hakufu alone. Taishiji is eventually hit by Koukin but not before landing a very solid punch on him.
Hakufu then challenges him, stating that she returns what was given—Taishiji's punches. Hakufu is easily outclassed and knocked out, but not before landing a solid punch on Taishiji with a technique she just learned. The fight ends and they leave on good terms. Taishiji is then ambushed by the leaders of Yoshuu Academy, who attack him with a knife.
Trivia[]
- In the anime, his destiny is unclear as he is still lying in a coma. However, in the manga, he recovered from his injuries and can fight again, though with a lower level of strength.
