'''Toza''' (died 1560) was a [[Japan]]ese ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' who lived during the late [[Sengoku period]].

==Biography==
In 1560, Toza, the leader of a team of ''shinobi'', and ''[[rōnin]]'' [[Kuroiwa Gonjou-rou]] were contracted by [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] [[priest]] and [[Templars|Templar]] [[Paulino Massa]] to travel to [[Iga]] and discover the location of the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]].<ref name="Ch 9">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 9|Chapter 9]]</ref> Along with Gonjou-rou, they arrived near [[Momochi Sandayu]]'s training grounds and came upon an [[Assassins|Assassin]] teaching her [[Fujibayashi Nagato|student]] how to do a [[leap of faith]].<ref name="Ch 5">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 5|Chapter 5]]</ref>

Atop a hill elsewhere, Toza and Gonrou-jou planned to attack Sandayu, while the ''rōnin'' claimed the chance to take Sandayu's head. Going their separate ways, Toza had his team aid Gonjou-rou while he headed to inspect Sandayu's huts. Having heard two ''shinobi'' talk in a room, he took his ''[[katana]]'' and nearly killed Masayasu through the door. Fortunately, [[Hattori Hanzō]] pulled him out of the way while Toza walked into the room. Hanzō instructed Masayasu to leave to find Sandayu while he faced Toza alone. Toza asked if he remembered him, to which Hanzō recalled him being a failed student under Sandayu.<ref name="Ch 6">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 6|Chapter 6]]</ref>

Facing off against Hanzō, Toza was beaten and thrown outside, severely injured. With his ''katana'', Hanzō drew his blade while Toza pleaded. However, Toza was slain quickly by Hanzō, failing in his mission.<ref name="Ch 8">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 8|Chapter 8]]</ref> Afterwards, news of his death, along with his group's demise, reached Massa and his fellow Templar [[Imagawa Ujizane]].<ref name="Ch 9">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 9|Chapter 9]]</ref>
