The following timeline consists of our attempt to compile a factual account, from various secondary sources and a very limited number of primary sources, about Takahashi Oden's life. Our account is divided up into different stages of Takahashi Oden's life. Each stage is then compared to the corresponding tale from Takahashi Oden Yasha Monogatari by Kanagaki Robun.  The timeline is then followed by a presentation of our analysis of what was exaggerated or fabricated in Takahashi Oden Yasha Monogatari.
