Re: My imprisonment



Konnichiwa Honorable Shogun,

I write this letter from a holding cell in the New Tokyo central jail. It seems after being attacked by a gaijin bomber pilot in New Tokyo, one of your officers approached, and when I told him what happened, he basically called me a liar, and in so, questioned my honor. Now, I am not proud of my word, but I am sure you can understand, as a man with honor, to be called a liar is an unbearable dishonor to myself and my family, and in a moment of anger, I may have lashed out at this officer that was dishonoring me, with my words. As you can see from the transcript provided below, the officer in question was clearly looking for a fight, and came into the situation questioning my word. Unfortunately, I feel that no matter how I reacted to this situation, I would still be sitting here in this holding cell, as it seems that this officer was intent on a confrontation with me. I knew he was looking for some reason to attack me, which is why you will see, I offered no resistance to being placed under arrest. Had I given him even the slightest opportunity, I am sure he would have taken the chance to kill me.

I do understand my wrong in this situation, and I will serve whatever sentence the Shogun sees fit, but I would also ask you to look at the transcript in front of you, and decide if that is the way you want your officers to treat lawful Kusari citizens.



I await your word here in my cell.

Tai Takata, The Emperor's humble servant.
