Kitsune learned fast, and with Sachiko's training became an expert in various arts of performance and thievery. After apologizing for the attack, Sachiko reveals that she is a thief, and is interested in taking on an assistant Sachiko offers her the job, and when she accepts, Sachiko gives her a new name to go with her new life: 'Kitsune'. She was completely stunned that the woman tried to cut her hand off, while Sachiko was most impressed with her reflexes. The cat then asked the teen to place her hand on the floor, then tried to stab it with a small sword the girl was quick enough to spot the knife and moved. Sachiko kept the money and returned the comb, telling the girl it was a reminder that she needs to choose her targets more carefully.

There, she offered the wayward juvenile a meal and inspected the swag from a rather sloppy robbery: a comb and a few meagre coins. When the police were gone, the girl was about to take off, but Sachiko invited her to her home. Sachiko flagged the girl down and threw a blanket over her, then sent the police off on a wild goose chase. One day in Edo, Sachiko was packing away her things after a hard day's work as a street performer when a rather scruffy teenager ran past, being pursued by police.

Very little is known about Sachiko herself as she only appeared in one story in flashback in the story 'Kitsune's Tale', she's the one who taught Kitsune everything she knew about being a street performer/thief. Sachiko is a character from the Usagi Yojimbo comic she is an anthropomorphic cat and is a master thief, posing as a street performer to hide her criminal livelihood.
