Momo
Momo is a powerful samurai and the matriarch of the Takada clan. She rescued the player from a village massacre when they were a child and raised them as her own, training them personally in the way of the katana. She is the player's sensei and first love. She has arranged for the player to fight her youngest daughter, Anri, for Anri's hand in marriage, believing that the player is the best match for her daughter. She is described as having a radiant, maternal smile. In the opening scene, she is sitting cross-legged with her red kimono draped elegantly over her shoulders.
