Emperor Takeshi Ofuchi was a descendant of Taro Ofuchi. He ruled Yamato until he was killed by Shogun Masamori Hyuga during a coup in the First Battle of Kageshima in 1000 AE. Takeshi's death gave Masamori full authority over Yamato as he became the empire's new leader while retaining the title of Shogun, and the Unification of Yamato began soon after.
