I will always answer to 'Taka' in general conversations.
Regardless I will always respond to 'Taka', but in the case of matters of Court I prefer to be called in as 'Kamejima Takauji'.


That being said, anyone wishing to address me in an official/formal manner I offer the research found on http://www.sengokudaimyo.com originally published by the Late, Anthony J. Bryant. 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.
