I've got a question about Takeshi and his ability. If Takeshi uses his ability on a personality and the enemy plays a card that prevents you from assigning or moving to a battlefield, can your personality still assign or is a card like Cleansing Breath needed so your personality can assign?
Tamori Takeshi vs cards that prevent you from assigning
A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Assignment is not an action, so Takeshi will not help you overcome an effect that prevents assignment. It would however overcome a card that negates his movement to battlefields, if you played an action that would move him (for instance, Kyuden Kitsune's trait).
