'''Ōyamazaki''' (大山崎町) is a town in {{Wiki|Kyoto Prefecture}}, [[Japan]]. During the late [[Sengoku period]], it was a village situated in [[Shoryuji]] in the [[Yamashiro]] province.

==History==
Originally a hub of oil production, Ōyamazaki grew in prominence and in production due to its proximity with [[Kyoto]]. The [[merchant]]s of Ōyamazaki were favored by those of the [[Iwashimizu Hachimangū]], who gave them priority of their trade, purchasing and transporting the raw material egoma, and selling the complete product. Between the late 14th century and the early 15th century, trade was at its greatest. However, following the [[Ōnin War]], merchants of other regions began selling and producing oil, breaking Ōyamazaki's grasp on the market.<ref name="Database">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Database: Oyamazaki and Oil Production]]</ref>

In 1582, the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']] members [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] and [[Yasuke]] chased down [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] to the village from the [[Battle of Yamazaki|battle]] at [[Shōryū-ji Castle]]. At the shores, Mitsuhide was about to escape but chose to stay and face his fate while dismissing his guard. Naoe and Yasuke caught up and confronted Mitsuhide, who appeased to how the [[Shinbakufu]] used them and how he followed [[Oda Nobunaga]] until seeing the bloodshed left behind from his warmongering. However, Naoe and Yasuke remained steady while Mitsuhide condemned them for supporting [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Hideyoshi]] before fighting him.<ref name="Topple the Traitor">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Topple the Traitor]]</ref>

Fighting both of them, Mitsuhide was bested and revealed that [[Ashikaga Yoshiaki]] was the leader of the Shinbakufu and responsible for Naoe's [[Fujibayashi Nagato|father]]'s death. Looking to Yasuke, Mitsuhide told him that he is the greatest of all the samurai under Nobunaga. Done with his words, the pair was nearly about to kill him but Mitsuhide requested to die like a samurai. However, Naoe unsheathed her [[hidden blade]] and stabbed him in the throat, ultimately killing him. Afterwards, Hideyoshi arrived and thanked them for their efforts and told them that he will make sure samurai will not abuse their authority under his watch. Before leaving, they acquired the [[katana]] [[Dragon's Edge]] from Mitsuhide's personal effects.<ref name="Topple the Traitor"/>

Naoe and Yasuke later tracked down the location of a member of [[Seta River Killers|a group of killers]] hired by the [[Templars]] to kill and replace local influential people. Across the river near the village, they caught sight of the [[Collector (Japanese)|Collector]] hassling a local fisherman . Confronting her, they assassinated her and recovered a letter from the [[Trader]] which detailed her location.<ref name="Hunting the Hunters">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]] – [[Story Drops]]'' – [[Hunting the Hunters]]</ref> At some point, they also established a ''[[Kakurega|kakurega]]'' in the village.<ref name="ACSH">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''</ref>
