	In 1615, the Japanese Brotherhood assisted the Tokugawa shogunate in the [[Siege of Osaka]] against the remnants of the {{~~wiki~~\|Toyotomi clan}} led by [[Toyotomi Hideyori]], the youngest son of the late Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

	The Japanese Brotherhood supported the Tokugawa shogunate for centuries after its formation and managed to keep the Templars' influence in Japan at bay. More than two centuries later, however, with the encroaching influence of Western powers and the country's rapid modernization, the Assassins' strength began to fade. The Brotherhood sided with [[Tokugawa Yoshinobu]] and his allies, hoping to stop the Templars who influenced [[Emperor Meiji]] and the {{~~wiki~~\|Imperial Court in Kyoto\|Imperial Court}} to dismantle the shogunate and abolish the feudal system.

	[[Jules Brunet]], a French Army officer and a liaison between the European Brotherhoods and their Japanese brethren, acted as a military advisor to the weak Yoshinobu. Appalled by the renunciations he made to preserve peace, such as bowing down to the British Consul or relinquishing his ''shogun'' title, the Assassins decided to act. The ''shinobi'' [[Issa]] was sent to kill the Consul, [[Harry Parkes]], to send a message, but he failed and was killed in the attempt by the fearsome Templar [[William Lloyd]].<ref name="ACF" />		[[Jules Brunet]], a French Army officer and a liaison between the European Brotherhoods and their Japanese brethren, acted as a military advisor to the weak Yoshinobu.

	A relatively new Assassin Guild, the Japanese Brotherhood was formed in response to the [[Templars]]' efforts to expand their influence to Japan after suffering a streak of defeats at the hands of the Assassins in [[Europe]]. The first Assassin to arrive in the country, [[Alvaro Catarribera]], aimed to prevent this and founded the Kakushiba ''ikki'' alongside his apprentice, [[Fujibayashi Tsuyu]]. While seeking the support of Emperor [[Tomohito\|Go-Nara]] against the Templars, the Japanese Assassins were given the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan\|Imperial Regalia]] for safekeeping, and protection of the artifacts subsequently became the Brotherhood's main objective.

	Immediately regretting his actions, Hanzō contacted Tsuyu to inform her that the regalia's location had been compromised. In response, Tsuyu, alongside Sandayu, led a number of Assassins to protect the artifacts, but they failed and were slaughtered by the Shinbakufu, who made off with two of the regalia: the mirror ''{{Wiki\|Yata no Kagami}}'' and the sword ''{{Wiki\|Kusanagi no Tsurugi}}''.
