Fujibayashi Nagato-no-Kami (藤林 長門守; died 1581), known as Masayasu during his youth,[2] was an Iga ikki jōnin,[3] member of the Kakushiba ikki, and father of Fujibayashi Naoe. The pressures of war forced Nagato to train Naoe to be his peer in the martial arts.[4] Shortly after Oda Nobunaga initiated the Tenshō Iga War,[5][6] members of the Shinbakufu entered the province, killed Nagato, and took a prized box he had entrusted to Naoe.[7]
Personality and traits
As a leader of the Iga community, Fujibayashi Nagato embodied their values of valour, benevolence, and wisdom and passed them onto his daughter, Naoe.[8]
