'''Akane''' (died 1582), also known as '''The Poisoner''', was a [[Japan]]ese [[ninja|''kunoichi'']] who was secretly a part of former {{Wiki|:ja:別所氏|Bessho clan}} Commander [[Genzaburo]]'s unit.

==Biography==
In 1582, after [[Bessho Harumasa]]'s death and learning of [[Koshiro]]'s involvement,<ref name="Broken Horn">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Broken Horn]]</ref> former Bessho clan commander Genzaburo ordered Akane and her allies to kill Koshiro at [[Kyokaiji Temple]]. When they failed to kill him, they soon split apart and awaited their next orders. Yet, [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']] member [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] met with Koshiro after their failed attempt and promised to hunt them down.<ref name="Genzaburo Soldiers">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Genzaburo's Soldiers]]</ref>

Akane later followed her next directive to kill a target in [[Osaka]]. However, she was unaware of herself being targeted by Genzaburo, who wanted to cut loose ends. Naoe later tracked her down to her performance within the [[Osaka Castle]]'s grounds at [[Nishinomaru Garden]]. Inside, Akane was performing her biwa set for a crowd until Naoe confronted and assassinated her. Naoe then retrieved an unsent letter, which pleaded Genzaburo to kill Koshiro herself, and the [[bow]], [[The Poisoner's Message]], from Akane's personal effects.<ref name="Genzaburo Soldiers"/>
