I am known as Suzuki Iisaka, scout and retainer to the Date army. In the past, I was known as Tsumaki Hiroko, but I have thrown that self away long ago. Please do not mention it to anyone. I may be a woman, but I loyally serve Masamune-sama in battle alongside the rest of the army (even though I do not like to fight). I know that as long as the world exist, it can never truly be at peace; however, I hope to end these turbulent times in favor of a world where my lord smiles freely.

I have created this account to tell my story, long though it may be. I am told that many of you are familiar with the struggles and warriors of the Sengoku period. Please allow me to throw my lot in with my lord, my sister, Kojuro-dono, and all the rest.

Oh, and please forgive me if I type like an amateur. This Internet thing is confusing...

(Historical Context: Lady Iisaka was a concubine of Date Masamune, and the mother of his eldest son, Hidemune. Not much else is known about her. Hirokohime or Tsumaki Hiroko (妻木煕子) was said to have been Tsumaki Norihiro's daughter, a retainer of the Toki clan. She was engaged to Mitsuhide in 1545 but, since she had scars from smallpox still present on her body, her father was prepared to offer her younger sisters as compensation. However, Mitsuhide refused the offer and gladly took Hirokohime as his wife. Mitsuhide treasured her and is famous for claiming that he needed no concubines with Hirokohime beside him. She valued him in turn and it is generally accepted that they had a harmonious relationship. When Mitsuhide had to start over once they lost their home, she was said to have shaved her black hair in order to restore his name in the court. They had one known child together, Akechi Tama. Though he constantly tried to nurse her back to health, one story of her death states that she passed away due to illness during Mitsuhide's lifetime. Others state that she died in 1582 at Sakamoto Castle or that she survived at least until the Battle of Sekigahara took place.) ~ taken from Koei Wiki article.
