The Kabukimono (傾奇者) were street gangs comprised of ronin that flourished in Japan specially at the end of the Sengoku period. The name comes from the word kaburu, meaning "to deviate", with kabukimono usually being translated as "strange things" or "the crazy ones". The name refers to their flamboyant appearances: disregarding traditional clothes colors, including exotic items such as European clothing, having uncommon hairstyles and facial hair and using katana with fancy parts.[1] Kabukimono had a reputation for breaking the law, doing whatever they pleased and, in general, being a nuisance to the majority of the people.[2]

On 1582, eight of these gangs were working in the Izumi Settsu and Harima regions, terrorizing the inhabitants of those provinces. This prompted Shin'nyo, a priest on the Nishinomiya Shrine, to request the help of Kakushiba Ikki member Fujibayashi Naoe to get rid of them. After eliminating five of their leaders, Naoe found out that they communicated through a board at the Nishinomiya Shrine and used it against them, locating the three remaining kabukimono leaders and ending their antics.[2]

Even though they were banished after Naoe's efforts, a young girl called Izumi was impressed by the kabukimono so much that she bowed to create an spectacle on their honor that used their flamboyant appearances as costumes.[2] This performance later became known as kabuki, becoming an essential form of art on Japanese culture.[3]
