Otake, once a brothel worker liberated by Yaichi, now operates as a geisha within the Five Leaves group. Her calm, maternal presence belies her strategic role in their schemes, where she entices male targets during kidnappings. Renowned for her ability to drink heavily without faltering, she balances her hardened past with a nurturing demeanor, offering kindness and emotional stability to her companions. She shields Sachi, Masanosuke’s sister, with fierce protectiveness, embodying an older sibling’s guidance.

Freed from bondage, she channels her agency into the group’s ventures, aligning loyalty to their cause with pragmatic independence. Her history as a sex worker remains a quiet counterpoint to her current life, emphasizing resilience over victimhood. While her deeper motivations and earlier years beyond the brothel are sparingly explored, her actions consistently reflect dedication to the Five Leaves’ objectives. Her narrative arc remains confined to the central story, without extension into supplementary media or spin-offs.
