Biography[edit | edit source]

In 1560, Paulino Massa established a relationship with daimyō Imagawa Ujizane and recruited him into the Templar Order.[1] He then promised to take charge on their plans against the Oda clan and his vassal Matsudaira Motoyasu.[2] In the next year, Massa and Ujizane then detained Matsudaira's wife Sena and their children Nobuyasu and Kamehime at Ujizane's mansion to leverage power over Matsudaira.[1]

However, their initial plans to infiltrate Iga and to find the location of the Imperial Regalia failed, as the shinobi led by Toza were all killed, while the rōnin Kuroiwa Gonjou-rou survived.[2] However, he and Ujizane soon understood that Motoyasu would send a rescue party for his family, especially the one who was in Iga and whose family is loyal to his clan.[3]

In 1562, with his prediction true, Massa waited at Kaminogō Castle for the arrival of the last hostage. When Ujizane's retainer Udono Nagateru arrived with Sena, he soon caught sight of the Igan shinobi Hattori Hanzō just right after him. Massa then threw a knife at Hanzō's shuriken, which was aimed at Nagateru. Introducing himself, Massa was met with opposition from Nagateru who did not want his presence here at the castle. Insulted, Massa then dismissed Nagateru and then shot the retainer point-blank dead. With his pistol, he aimed his gun towards Sena and her children while offering a choice to Hanzō. He soon demanded for the location of the Imperial Regalia in exchange for Motoyasu's family.[4]
