Takeda (Mortal Kombat: Conquest)

Takeda was a Japanese-born ninja who served as an assassin for the Lin Kuei clan many years ago. He attempted to leave the China-based clan and return to his homeland, but leaving the Lin Kuei is the equivalent of treason and is punishable by death. He fled to his homeland in Japan. He returned and served various lords and generals using the skills he learned in the Lin Kuei.
