Story
Long time ago, he was a defeated samurai. He lost in a battlefield and his body was badly wounded. He ran away to the forest of Aokigahara.

 When he was about to die, Former Aka No Ou appeared and saved his life. He entered Mibu Clan and to repay him, he became the head of Goyosei. He is actually a human whose lifespan was lengthened by the Aka no Ou. He encountered Kyo and his group at the fourth Goyosei Gate (he ask Shinrei to go before him, brcause he want to meet again Yuya) and fought against Benitora. He managed to severely wound Benitora before he was defeated.

He knows many things about the Mibu Clan and knows Nozomu Shiina very well

Death
He was killed by Fubuki because he "betrayed" the Mibu by wanting to join Kyo in defeating them

Abilities / Notable Attacks
Unlike the other four Stars, Taihaku does not hold powers over an element. Though his tattoo is of the character for gold, he doesn't wield a "golden power". Rather, Taihaku is the perfect samurai. His skills, determination, and power is unmatched by all but Benitora.

He has incredible speed despite his appearance. He is far above Bikara, Benitora was unable to react to, or even perceive, his sword, Bontenmaru also noted that the speed of his sword was "astounding" and "frightening")
