'''"Yuki-onna"''' (died 1582) was the name imposed on a [[Japan]]ese woman who lived in [[Kawachi Kaza-ana Cave]] in [[Ōmi]] during the late [[Sengoku period]]. Every winter, she led unsuspecting travelers into her cavern home to their deaths. Her actions led many to think that there was the actual ''[[yōkai]] known as the {{Wiki|Yuki-onna}} (雪女, lit. 'snow woman').<ref name="The Yokai">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' — [[The Yokai]]</ref>

==Biography==
Before becoming a recluse, the "Yuki-onna" once fell in love with a man named Hikojiro but became heartbroken when he ended their relationship. In response, she lured him to a final tea session, killed him and took out his heart. This led her to continue the pattern every winter and to kill any innocent wanderers at Kawachi Kaza-ana Cave. Her behavior led to rumors circulating of an ''yuki-onna'' living in [[Suzuka Foothills]], which led villagers to travel to the [[Scholar|monk]]-turned-demon hunter [[Mamushi]].<ref name="The Yokai"/>

In 1582, done with the rumors, Mamushi met the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']] members [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] and [[Yasuke]] and asked them to investigate all these ''yōkai'' claims. During their investigation in Ōmi, they arrived at the cave and discovered the woman's home inside. Soon, they came across her multitude of victims and confronted her. Engaging her, they bested and promptly killed her and then acquired the ''[[katana]]'' [[Violet Night]] from her personal effects.<ref name="The Yokai"/>

==Behind the scenes==
Coincidentally, one of her numerous victims happened to be the [[The Mountain Yamabushi|Mountain Yamabushi]], one of the imposter ''[[Yamabushi|yamabushi]]'' during the mission, "[[Yamabushi Imposters]]."

This target may either have led Naoe and Yasuke inside the cave to attack them or have been found feasting on the remains of her victims.<ref name="The Yokai"/>
