==History==
In 1582, the [[Shinbakufu]] member [[Oichi|The Wheel]] had organized a meeting on the island after changing the location from [[Shiotsu]] on the main land to Chikubushima. The [[Iga]] ''[[Ninja|kunoichi]]'' [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] and [[samurai]] [[Yasuke]], in pursue of The Wheel, traveled to the island in order to uncover its identity. At the [[Hogonji Temple]], the two confronted The Wheel, who revealed herself as [[Oda Nobunaga]]'s sister Oichi, who then told the truth and reason for joining the Shinbakufu.<ref name="The Wheel Unmasked">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[The Wheel Unmasked]]</ref>
