Fubuki
Fubuki (died 1570s) was a Japanese Assassin of the Kakushiba ikki during the late Sengoku period.
Biography
At some point, Fubuki was inducted into the Kakushiba ikki and given the assignment to oversee the people of Tamba.[1] In Ikuno, she strived to empower the people to fight back against the Akechi oppressors and even managed to save a young orphan boy Yagoro at one instance.[2]
Although she wanted to be more public to aid them, Fubuki hid herself for the sake of her protection for the town.[3] However, one day, while fighting against the Akechi soldiers, she grew tired from the onslaught and was struck down by their leader, Akechi Mitsuhisa.[2]
Legacy
Upon her death, Yagoro vowed to train like her and even created his own hidden blade. Yagoro continued to train and then ventured to Harima to end a local samurai's abuse over the region. Coincidentally, he met with the Kakushiba ikki members Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke, who aided him on his current mission and welcomed him into their league.[1] Meeting in back in his hometown Ikuno, they all together planned and successfully assassinated Fubuki's killer Akechi Mitsuhisa at Fukuchiyama Castle.[2]
Afterwards, Yagoro and Naoe ventured into Chasuriyama Kofun, which held a secret Assassin outpost, while Naoe found a page of Fubuki's journal. Further, they both found a box of a real hidden blade. Upon Yagoro's insistence, Naoe commenced an impromptu ceremony and gave Yagoro the blade and another welcome into Kakushiba ikki. However, Yagoro decided to keep his own blade and have the hiddle blade on display at the homestead for all the rest to see.[3]
