Kaede is a female samurai and the last of Tadayori Nagao's line. She guards Tadayori's Rest and duels Jin when she mistakes him for a grave robber in The Legend of Tadayori.
After the duel she apologises and shares the scroll's clue. Jin works out the armour must be on the cliffs above Azamo Bay. She is one of the few duel opponents Jin does not kill.
