Biography[edit | edit source]
Aoi was an associate and loyal follower of Lady Nene, the wife of Hashiba Hideyoshi. In 1582, following the death of Oda Nobunaga, Aoi served as Nene's contact in Ōtsu to gather information on the Shinbakufu, the group behind Nobunaga's death. Nene suspected that, because she and her husband had been close allies of Nobunaga, they would be the group's next targets. This was proven true when the Akechi clan sent assassins to their residence, though Nene was able to survive.[1]
On Nene's advice, Aoi was sought out by Nobunga's former retainer Yasuke, who was hunting the Shinbakufu. Aoi told Yasuke of an upcoming duel scheduled to take place on Seta Bridge, where one of the duelists was a Shinbakufu member, though she was unaware of their identity. She thus asked Yasuke to go to the bridge and investigate, hoping that he would be able to find out. Yasuke and his fellow Kakushiba ikki member Fujibayashi Naoe later traveled to the bridge and waited until nightfall.[2]
That night, the duel was revealed to be an ambush by Akechi Kagemitsu, Akechi Mitsuhide's nephew and a Shinbakufu member, who planned to eliminate Ōmi's former daimyō Shōtei. After the two nobles fled from the battle, Aoi came to the bridge, where Yasuke and Naoe had killed Kagemitsu's guards. They all discussed their findings from the ambush, with Aoi suggesting that Yasuke and Naoe look for Shōtei, so that the former daimyō may help them infiltrate Sakamoto Castle, to where Kagemitsu had fled.[2]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
It is possible that Aoi was a shrine maiden at Mii-dera, since it was the only temple in Ōtsu.
