Persona
Kamejima Takauji-dono was born a third son in 1523. The first years of his life were spent growing up in a small fishing village on Fukuejima in the East China Sea, part of the Gotō 'Five Island Archipelago', off the West Coast of Kyushu.
Before reaching the age of 10, 'Taka' was adopted into the family of Yasumasa Toyohisa. Through Toyohisa's connections and knowledge, 'Taka' learned the ways of the Samurai. His training consisted of a balance between Kenjutsu (Katana), Kyūjutsu (Yumi), & Tetsubōjutsu (Tetsubō). Outside of martial activities 'Taka' has used the art of crafting Bonsai to focus his mind and to feel connected to his home on Fukuejima.
In 1543, Toyohisa became an adviser of, then 15 year old, Matsura Takanobu. A few years later at the request of Takanobu and with the encouragement of Toyohisa, 'Taka' joined the crew of the Chinese Wokou, and ally of Takanobu, Wang Zhi.
Currently living as a Japanese Wakō in 1550.

Regardless of the information presented below I will always respond to 'Taka'.
That being said, anyone wishing to address me in an official/formal manner I offer the research found on Sengoku Daimyo [1] originally published by the Late, Anthony J. Bryant. Note: If you have any interest in Japanese Personas in the SCA time period I highly recommend looking at his work. I, and many in the SCA, regard his research to the most valuable resource for Japanese Persona.
Under the section 'An Online Japanese Miscellany' [2] you can find the subsection 'Modes of Address'.
