The Tokātan Tā (Ginsukyan: toka-tan ta-, lit. 'Old Believers') were a branch of the traditional ginsukyan faith, branching out of the Sona Tokā and following the Tenants set by Tanato Han.

Disagreements between believers of the Sona Tokā occurred following the Council of Eientei in 233 XY, which expanded the Commands from the Lords from five books to ten; the added five books are considered to collectively been the New Canon.

The New Canon was controversial especially amongst a section of the Sona Tokā clergy. Up until this point, the clergy were given free reign in how they'd issue totanyi, or religious orders. This was due to the fact that the first five books, the Old Canon, were lacking in ruleset and body, leaving the clergy to decide for themselves on how things such as interest, where different clergy issued differing rulings on the issue.

The New Canon was intended to alleviate this issue by introducing new rules in the religion. These rules however proved controversial and resulted in the Declaration of the Forum by Han and other important clergymen, stating that the faith has strayed from its core principles.
