Akechi Mitsuhide (明智 光秀; 10 March 1528 – 2 July 1582) was a general under the daimyō Oda Nobunaga during the Sengoku period of Japan.[1] In June 1582, Mitsuhide rebelled against his master and attacked him at Honnō-ji temple.[2]

Secretly, Mitsuhide's rebellion came as a result of his affiliation with the Shinbakufu, a group that sought to overthrow Nobunaga and restore the Ashikaga shogunate. Mitsuhide served the group under the alias The Two-Faced, while his daughter Hosokawa Tama went on to join the Templars, the Shinbakufu's main benefactors.[3]
