'''Tatsugoro''' (died 1582) was a [[Japan]]ese [[samurai]] of the [[Oda clan]] during the late [[Sengoku period]].

==Biography==
In the 1570s, working under [[Oda Nobunaga]], Tatsugoro worked as an overseer and saw his one of his servants [[Gennojo]] steal his [[katana]]. As retribution, he traveled to meet Gennojo's parents, killed them, and placed their heads on pikes as a reminder. For further punishment, he forced Gennojo to work on building Nobunaga's castle, leading the young man on a path to rebel against ''[[daimyō]]'' rule and corruption.<ref name="Stolen Hearts">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Stolen Hearts]]</ref><ref name="The Godless Harvest">'[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[The Godless Harvest]]</ref>

In 1582, Tatsugoro was stationed at [[Nijō Castle|Nijo Palace]] and caught sight of Gennojo and his associate, the [[Iga]]n ''[[Ninja|shinobi]]'' and [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']] member [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] near a {{Wiki|Guanyin|Kannon}} statue. Overhearing Gennojo's interpretation of his parents' demise, Tatsugoro interrupted and revealed the truth of why Gennojo's parents died and how Kannon cursed his parents with a child like him. Although Gennojo wanted to fight him, Naoe told him to leave as she faced the samurai herself. Tatsugoro then called for reinforcements and fought against Naoe but he and his men were all defeated and killed. However, his remarks led Gennojo to doubt himself and he ultimately committed suicide by exploding the rice storage with himself inside.<ref name="The Godless Harvest"/>
