Azai Jukei (died 1582), also known as the Godai of Water, was a Japanese shinobi and a former student of the Rokkaku clan's patriarch, Rokkaku Yoshikata.

Biography

Previously part of an elite class of the Kōga-ryū ninjutsu school, Azai Jukei and her fellow shinobi abandoned their mentor Yoshikata after the dismantlement of the Kōga-ryū. Under Rokkaku Yoshimitsu's leadership, the group soon called themselves, the Godai Shinobi. They later allied themselves with the Shinbakufu, who tasked them to murder the Kakushiba ikki members Fujibayashi Naoe, Yasuke, and Rokkaku Katsuhime.[1]

In 1582, after the Kakushiba ikki helped Yoshikata eliminate the Shinbakufu member Akechi Kagemitsu, he gave Naoe a list of his fallen students who were wreaking havoc across Japan, trusting her to aid him end their machinations.[2] Following a clue about Jukei's location, they later traveled to the temple Mangetsu-ji in western Ōmi. There, they found numerous dead bodies and her writing a poem atop a rock. Thus, they assassinated Jukei and acquired the tantō, Typhoon Tanto, from her personal effects.[1]

Behind the scenes

If Azai Jukei is found after Rokkaku Yoshimitsu's death, she will lament her loss while fighting.[1]
