Katano is a city in Osaka Prefecture, Japan, formerly part of the region of Izumi Settsu during the Sengoku period.

History

In September 1581, the city was visited by the Iga kunoichi Fujibayashi Naoe during her quest to recover an important box from the masked samurai Ido Yoshihiro. Infiltrating Katano Castle, Naoe assassinated Yoshihiro and retrieved the box, only to be ambushed outside the castle by Yoshihiro's fellow Shinbakufu members. Naoe's father Nagato came to her defense but was mortally wounded by the Shinbakufu, who left both him and Naoe for dead and departed with the box.[1]

In June 1582, Naoe, having been rescued by the monk Sorin and his apprentice Junjiro,[2] returned to Katano to meet with the daimyō Akechi Mitsuhide. Secretly a member of the Shinbakufu, Mitsuhide learned that Naoe had begun hunting his group and decided to use her quest for vengeance to his advantage by manipulating the kunoichi into killing Oda Nobunaga. At Katano Castle, Mitsuhide framed Nobunaga as the Shinbakufu's masked leader and convinced Naoe to help him launch an attack against his lord in Kyoto.[3]
