Iwatora was a Japanese rikishi during the late Sengoku period. He was married to sōhei Yaya.

Biography[edit | edit source]

In the late 16th century, Iwatora was walking by a market and spilled his soup on an unsuspecting woman. The woman, Yaya, turned around and would later claim they fell in love at first sight. Within a year, he and Yaya married.[1] As a rikishi, he began to train Yaya and in time, she even bested him in combat. Impressed, he embraced her over his achievement.[2][3]

Legacy[edit | edit source]

At some point, Iwatora passed away, leaving Yaya alone and down the path to join Honganji Kennyo. Yet, her path left a young orphan boy Tetsuo under her tutelage lost, which led him eventually to join a group of thieves and rōnin. At some point, Tetsuo stole Iwatora's kanzashi, one of Yaya's last mementos of him. Along with the help of Igan kunoichi Fujibayashi Naoe, they tracked down Tetsuo and recovered the kanzashi. Before Yaya could enact punishment, Naoe pleaded for forgiveness for the both of them. Understanding, Yaya forgave Tetsuo and asked for his forgiveness, to which he gave. As a result, Naoe asked Yaya to join their Kakushiba ikki league, to which Yaya accepted.[3]
