Wakasa (若狭; died c. 1582) also known as The Golden Teppo, was a Japanese former pirate, merchant, and a member of the Shinbakufu located in Sakai.

By controlling Sakai's tanegashima market, Wakasa aimed to create a fleet that dominated all seas and ports worldwide, either by trading with them or by force. Her ambitions ended after Fujibayashi Naoe killed her with her own decorated tanegashima in revenge for her father's murder.[1]

Biography

Early life

For most of her early life, Wakasa lived a nomadic lifestyle as a pirate.[2] At some point before 1581, she decided to settle in Sakai in order to get control of the city's gun market and started gaining power, infiltrating herself right into the town's elite. She managed to get close to Imai Sōkyū, Oda Nobunaga's master of the tea ceremony and one of the biggest merchants in Sakai's port, attending private tea ceremonies hosted by Sōkyū.[1]

Siege of Iga and death

Wakasa fighting Nagato

Although Ido Yoshihiro managed to steal the box from Naoe during the siege of Iga, the young kunoichi infiltrated Katano Castle shortly thereafter, killing Yoshihiro and recovering the box. However, a masked Wakasa along with Wada Koretake were waiting for her on the outskirts of the castle, with Wakasa gravely injuring Naoe with a shot of her customized tanegashima. After a brief argument with Koretake on who should keep the box, Fujibayashi Nagato surprised them both, defeating Wakasa easily and cutting Koretake's left ear off. The rest of the Shinbakufu appeared shortly thereafter, overpowering Nagato and leaving him and Naoe to die.[3]

Naoe, being the only survivor of the two and after nursing her injuries, decided to get revenge on the Shinbakufu for killing her father. On Tomiko's advice, she decided to look for a teppo craftsman in Sakai who could make a custom tanegashima with gold engravings, similar to the one the woman who shot her had.[4]

Naoe eventually managed to infiltrate one of Imai Sōkyū's private tea ceremonies, with Wakasa attending along with Otama and Lady Satoko. Wakasa, not recognizing Naoe at first, was friendly to her and sensed they had something in common. They attended the ceremony, with Wakasa gifting a dagger owned by former shōgun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to Sōkyū at the end of the ceremony.[1]

Wakasa being fatally shot by Naoe

After the ceremony, Wakasa invited Naoe to her house, where she talked about her ambitions for Sakai and invited Naoe to work for her. However, Naoe started examining Wakasa's tanegashima, prompting the latter to tell her it was not a toy. Naoe responded that it was "a coward's weapon", which made Wakasa finally remember who she was. Wakasa tried to bargain for her life, offering to lead Naoe to the box's location. Naoe declined the offer, stating she had no use for Wakasa if she could not tell her the box's exact location, before fatally shooting her in the head.[1]
