'''Takahashi Inoshichi'''  (died 1582) was a [[Japan]]ese [[samurai]] and patriarch of a branch of the [[Takahashi clan]] who lived in [[Kyoto]].

==Biography==
Father to six children, Takahashi Inoshichi was a troubled person, but with his wife by his side, he became a better man. However, upon her passing, he became cold, callous, and ruthless to his children. Under Inonshichi's tutelage and his allegiance to Ise clan leader and [[Shinbakufu]] member [[Ise Sadaoki]], his once-respected family started to terrorize the community by harassing and attacking the people of Kyoto, to exercise their power over the region.<ref name="TwistedTree">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Twisted Tree]]</ref> 

By 1852, their crimes were noticed by [[Ujimasa]], a friend of former Ise clan leader [[Ise Sadatame]], who corresponded with Sadatame's allies, [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']] members [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] and [[Yasuke]], about dismantling the samurais' grasp over Kyoto.<ref name="InsideHelp">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Inside Help]]</ref>

===Death===
By 1852, Takahashi Inoshichi hid himself in the confines of a secret garden west of [[Honnoji Temple]] all the while exerting his command over his children to continue their abuse over Kyoto. However, he was later confronted and killed the Kakushiba ''ikki''<ref name="TwistedTree"/>

==Behind the scenes==
Depending on the player's choice and recovering all of the clues, if Takahashi Inoshichi is killed first, his four samurai sons [[Takahashi Taro]], [[Takahashi Jiro]], [[Takahashi Saburo]], and [[Takahashi Shiro]] arrive at the garden to avenge and face his killer. Meanwhile, his other son [[Takahashi Guro]] and daughter [[Takahashi Ichi-Hime]] are spared and free from their family's grasp.
