Lore
A veteran Onimusha
The voice in Musashi's gauntlet leads him to Ono no Takamura, an elderly swordsman who cuts down Genma with ease. Izumo no Okuni seeks him out because she wants the power to fight them herself.
Takamura advises against the Shogun's operation at Rendaino. When that warning is ignored, Musashi rushes to the battlefield to prevent a massacre. Takamura also receives Dokyo's grotesque package from Mount Oe, which draws the group into the rescue mission there.
