	Historically, the Shimazu clan was one of the few Japanese clans to initially welcome Francis Xavier's Jesuit mission, although the clan's leader, Shimazu Takahisa, soon ended his support of the Jesuits due to pressure from local Buddhists and forbade the conversion of his subjects to Christianity under penalty of death.<ref name="Takahisa" /> In the ''Assassin's Creed'' universe, it would appear that several clan members disobeyed Takahisa and secretly continued supporting the Templars, resulting in the clan's longtime affiliation with the Order.
