The Shinbakufu (幕府, lit. "[the] real shogunate"), also known as the Hundred Demons (, lit. "crowd of one hundred demons") and referred to by Fujibayashi Naoe as the Onryō (怨霊, "[the] vengeful ghosts"), was an influential organization founded by shōgun Ashikaga Yoshiaki during the late Sengoku period.

With the Ashikaga shogunate's rule having collapsed after the Ōnin War,[1] Yoshiaki sought to restore his family's centuries-old grip on power. In 1573, he attempted to overthrow his benefactor Oda Nobunaga, who responded by marching to Kyoto and expelling him.[2] With his original plan having failed, Yoshiaki turned to subterfuge to achieve his goal and formed the Shinbakufu, whose aims were to first steal Japan's three Imperial Regalia and work again at deposing Nobunaga.[3]

To this end, Yoshiaki sold information on the regalia to the Portuguese Templars, who desired the artifacts for their own ends, and sought to use them as insurance in exchange for money and power to fund his activities.[3] Opposing the Shinbakufu were the Kakushiba ikki, an Assassin branch in Iga that Emperor Go-Nara had tasked with safeguarding the regalia.[4]

While the Shinbakufu successfully stole two of the regalia, decimating the Kakushiba ikki in the process, and later returned to Iga during the Tenshō Iga War to steal the third artifact,[5] they met renewed opposition from the Iga kunoichi Fujibayashi Naoe and the samurai Yasuke, who formed their own league to fight against the Shinbakufu.[6] In 1582, most of the organization's members were hunted down by Naoe and Yasuke, alongside their Templar benefactors,[7] ending the Shinbakufu's short-lived dominance over Japan.[8]
