A typical rōnin during the Sengoku period

Rōnin (浪人, "wandering man", lit. "dissolute person") was the term used to describe masterless samurai during feudal Japan (1185–1868).[1] In most cases, rōnin became designated as such after their lord had been killed, as was the case of Yasuke who, upon the death of his lord Oda Nobunaga, became a rōnin.[2] Others, such as Ibuki, became rōnin by their own choice.[3] However, not all rōnin followed a righteous path, with many roaming the land during the Sengoku period and attacking those they deemed a worthy challenge.[4]
