Gennojo (源之丞; died 1582) was a Japanese thief and explosives expert who was active during the late Sengoku period. Described as a charming man who drowned his sorrows in alcohol, he was sought out by the kunoichi Fujibayashi Naoe to join her newly formed league, the Kakushiba ikki, though he would later commit suicide via a bomb while destroying daimyō-owned rice.[1]
Behind the scenes
Gennojo is a character in the 2025 video game Assassin's Creed: Shadows, where he is one of several allies that can be recruited into the player's shinobi league, as well as a possible love interest for Naoe. However, the canon ending of his questline has Gennojo taking his own life, making him the only ally in the game that was canonically not recruited by Naoe or Yasuke.
If both Gennojo and Oni-yuri are recruited, they will engage in a "prank war" of sorts, with the latter leaving a "little surprise" in his drink and Gennojo answering by stealing something embarrassing from Oni-yuri and leaving it where anyone can see it. If romanced by Naoe, he will attempt to make her jealous by complimenting Katsuhime in front of her, much to the unease of both women. Actually romancing him seems to be the less popular choice among the homestead's inhabitants, with almost everyone commenting that Naoe "could do much better" or just wondering why she would choose him.
American-Japanese actor Mackenyu provides the motion capture, as well as both the English and Japanese voices for Gennojo. His involvement was first announced on 6 February 2025, a month prior to the game's official release.[2]
