The birthplace was the daughter of Yasu Shiobara Shiobara Shiogama Village Farmer Chosuke, who was 19 years old at the time.

Takao was favored by the prince of Tsunamune Date, Sendai feudal lord, and was asked for a large sum of money.

It was hung on a tower boat around Nakashu) and abandoned in Kawanaka.

A few days later, the body drifted ashore on the banks of Kita-Niihori in Okawabata, and had a hermitage there.
