Please allow me to explain...We were following your instructions and we were about to bury the demon, suddenly the late master stopped us and gave us the new orders. We were instructed to make wood carvings of the bear demon and marked these tokens as an original keep saves in effort to restore the clan's finances.

—Servant of Takeda clan[src]
The Lord of Takeda Castle (領主武田[citation needed]) was the father of Kuranosuke Takeda and the landowner of Arashi. Six years ago, when his village was attacked by a Bear demon, he hired Sango's clan to execute the demon. Later it was revealed that he ordered the servants not to burn the demon's corpse against the instructions from the Yōkai taijiya.
