"Greetings, sir. Thank you for responding so quickly to my letter."
―Akihime to Yasuke upon his arrival to find Oichi, 1582.[src]-[m]

Gamo Akihime was a Japanese woman who worked as a servant to Lady Oichi during the late 16th century.

Biography

Serving Oichi since at least 1581, Akihime accompanied her alongside her bodyguard, Kuma, during Oichi's travels between Azuchi Castle and Odani.[1] In spring of that year, she was present when Oichi met her brother Oda Nobunaga's retainer Diogo at the castle. Oichi had requested to meet Diogo herself to personally thank him for helping an elderly servant against a group of harassing Sanada-ryu students. On Oichi's orders, Akihime presented a kosode made by the elderly servant to Yasuke as thanks.[2]

A year later in 1582, Akihime was present when Diogo, now known as Yasuke after becoming a samurai, visited Oichi in Odani at the noble lady's request.[3] Following the events on Chikubushima island,[4] after which Oichi had seemingly become depressed, Akihime wrote a letter to Yasuke at his league's hideout, claiming that Oichi's spirit was "falling" and suggesting that the samurai could pay her a visit at the markets in Azuchi. Yasuke answered the letter by traveling to Azuchi, finding Akihime and Oichi, much to the former's gratefulness.[5]
