I have Shibata Sensei and a courtier with Taketori attached.
If I bow the courtier in battle to use the Rulebook Favor Battle ability, may I unbow him with Taketori?
I'm not sure, because the action is in the rulebook, but the bow cost is printed in Shibata.
Thanks!

It's not a cost, but the bow effect is certainly printed on Shibata Sensei, so a Taketori can straighten the Courtier you bowed.
