Takiko Okuda was the first known person to enter the book of the "Universe of the Four Gods", and also the first to become a priestess and summon one of the four gods. However, her experience with the book was a tragic one.
Takiko's father, Einosuke Okuda, was the one who originally brought the book back from China to Japan in order to translate it. However, he had no idea that Takiko would get sucked into the world of the book. In the world of the book, Takiko was thrown into the land of Genbu (Hokkan), which was being attacked by those of the land of Seiryu (Kutou). As the Priestess of Genbu, Takiko was able to assemble the Genbu Seven and summon Genbu. Her first wish was the eternal protection of Hokkan from attack. Two of her celestial warriors, Tomite and Hikitsu, stayed behind to accomplish this. Her second wish was to return home, which was also granted. However, Takiko never made her third wish, and Genbu was devouring her from the inside, causing her great pain. Helpless to stop it, Einosuke ended up killing Takiko and then himself to prevent the devouring.
