Biography
Leading the kunoichi
She was credited with creating an all-female group of ninja, kunoichi, for her husband's uncle Takeda Shingen. Numbering over 100 strong, Chiyome's girls were used as spies and assassins; by posing as couriers, servants, and even prostitutes, they created the illusion they were everywhere. Despite its legendary status, her kunoichi organization was unable to prevent Tokugawa Ieyasu's general Honda Tadakatsu and the Assassin Hattori Hanzō from infiltrating Shingen's camp in 1573, after which Shingen was killed.[1] Two years later, her husband Mochizuki Nobumasa fought at the Battle of Nagashino against Nobunaga's army but was killed.[2]
Joining the Templars and death
Chiyome was eventually recruited by the Templars, who had attempted to expand their influence in Japan but found themselves hindered by the constant wars between clans, as well as their hostility toward outsiders. Through Chiyome's spy network, the Templar philosophy spread further throughout the land, which made her a target for Hattori Hanzō. Sometime in the 1590s, he proved successful in assassinating her.[2]
