Ichiha was brought along on a mission to investigate and dispose of mononokr in a village in West Mushashinokuni. His platoon has Morooka and Makabe as his seniors and they were was sent to work alongside Heisuke's platoon. Before they set out, he introduced himself to Dora and Kusanagi and became friends with them. During the mission as their platoons split up, Morooka sensed high supernatural energy and told Ichiha to contact Heisuke. But before he could Yoshihime took hold of Morooka, leading to him and Makabe attempting to attack her but being stopped by her binding threads. Morooka managed to cut them free, but before they could seize the opportunity, Tameemon attacked from behind. Ichiha attacks him but it has no effect, Tameemon then grabs him and prepares to eat him before Dora and Kusanagi arrive in time to assist him. Dora cuts Tameemon and Touma frees Ichiha from his grasp. He coughs up blood sitting on the ground saying he's okay. As Heisuke goes off the fight the other mononoke, he leaves Tameemon to Dora, Touma and Ichiha. Despite being told to help, Ichiha just watches as Touma and Dora fight, and is amazed by their feats and Tameemon's strength. After Tameemon is defeated Ichiha stays with his squad and the injured Touma and tells Dora to go on ahead to find the source of the explosion they heard.
3 days after the attack, Ichiha is credited alongside Dora, Kusanagi and Touma for being the young samurai able to defeat the humaniod mononoke. He stood in the hospital ward alongside the injured Morooka and Makabe and Morooka says how they failed and next time they'll produce better results.
