Rise Of The Ronin has a robust cast of fascinating characters. However, Taka Murayama, the highly esteemed geisha, and Naosuke Ii's confidant, is one of the most intriguing. At first glance, Taka is a savvy businesswoman with a cheeky attitude and a playful demeanor that's hard to read. However, beneath the clever facade is a deep-feeling, artistic soul.
