Fujibayashi Naoe (藤林 奈緒江; born c. 1564)[1] was a kunoichi from Iga.[2][3] Born to the jōnin[4] Fujibayashi Nagato in the midst of the Sengoku period,[2][3] she was trained by him and later became a member of the Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins.[5][6] In 1581, Oda Nobunaga's forces invaded Iga.[3] Although Oda's retainer Yasuke was a participant of the attack, he later became not only an ally to Naoe's intelligence network but also in her assassination operations.[7]

Personality and traits

As a young woman, Fujibayashi Naoe was passionate of temperament and determined in her goals. She brought into her relationships an intensity that was tempered by the more grounded and pensive Yasuke. While she wore her heart on her sleeve, unafraid to express herself honestly, she harboured her own wisdom as well that grew continuously throughout her life. The foundations for this wisdom was instilled in her by her father who alongside her Iga community also taught her the values of valour and benevolence.[2] Morally conscientious, she challenged Yasuke to discover a path apart from the seeming universal reality of "greed, power, and vengeance".[7]

Skills and equipment

Due to being trained by her father who was a skilled shinobi, Naoe was capable of wielding a variety of weapons. She would usually carry a katana, a tantō, and a kusarigama for close combat as well as shuriken and kunai for ranged attacks. Naoe also possessed a Hidden Blade capable of turning 90 degrees, with the blade itself being a gift from her father.[6] Naoe used her Hidden Blade in conjunction with her tanto to perform double assassinations.[7]

In her arsenal, she possessed several tools to aid her in missions such as smoke bombs. Due to her small size and weight in comparison to her ally Yasuke, she was able to use a grappling hook that let her scale buildings with ease. Her armor and clothes represented the path of a shinobi: she was very lightly armored and wore a dark blue kimono tied close to her arms so she could parkour more freely. Her armor consisted of shin and forearm guards and a small bit of chainmail on her left arm.[6]

Behind the scenes

Fujibayashi Naoe is a fictional character who will appear in the 2024 video game Assassin's Creed: Shadows, where she is voiced by the Japanese actress Masumi Tsunoda.
