Utaku Wakiken
Unicorn Clan Stable Master Battle: Bow Wakiken: Straighten all Cavalry cards in a target unit. Gain 1 Honor for each Battle Maiden straightened in this manner.
Wakiken has a Battle Maiden Follower attached to her, it is currently straightened. She bows and targets her own unit with her action.
Is this Legal? How much Honor is gained?
Thanks!

Yes, the action is legal to take; the only requirement of the targeting is "a unit", which could be Wakiken's own unit as easily as it could be any other at the current battlefield (I'm assuming Wakiken is there to satisfy Presence and Location).
But, you say the Battle Maiden in Wakiken's unit is already straight. You only gain Honor for "each Battle Maiden straightened" by the effects Wakiken's action.
http://rules.l5r.com/Glossary_S#Straighten: "Straighten: To change from the bowed to the unbowed state."
So, no change in state = no Honor gain.
Lastly, Wakiken is a "he", not a "she".
