==Biography==
Originally posted in [[Izumi Settsu]], Kaede was sent by the league's leader [[Tsuyu]] to [[Omi|Omi Province]] as part of their plan to expand and establish an outpost in the region. Some time after establishing the outpost, Kaede received a letter from Tsuyu informing them of a [[Shinbakufu|group]]<ref name="Omi Assassin Outpost">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Omi Assassin Outpost]]</ref> who managed to discover where they had kept the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]], which the league were entrusted to protect.<ref name="The Meaning of the Blade">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[The Meaning of the Blade]]</ref> They were ordered to abandon the expansion efforts and return to Settsu to prepare for the impending attack by the group. Kaede followed her orders and returned to Settsu, though they did not survive the fight and was among the Assassins who perished in the [[Old Kofun|kofun]] where the artifacts were kept.<ref name="Omi Assassin Outpost" />

Years later in 1582, Kaede's correspondence with Tsuyu was recovered by Tsuyu's daughter [[Fujibayashi Naoe]].<ref name="Omi Assassin Outpost" />
