Inumaru (died 1582), also known as The Ambusher, was a Japanese bounty hunter who worked for a group that served Wada Koretake. After Koretake's death, he and his fellow bounty hunters moved across to Kii to continue their criminal activities.

Biography[edit | edit source]

By 1582, Inumaru and his fellow bounty hunters were once allied with the Shinbakufu member Wada Koretake and worked under his discretion.[1] After Koretake's death at the hands of Kyonyo and the kunoichi Fujibayashi Naoe,[2] Inumaru and his associates traveled to Kii to exercise their exploits on the people of Kii. However, when Kyonyo arrived with his remaining party of the Ikkō-ikki in Kii, the bounty hunters saw an opportunity for revenge for their fallen ally.[1]

Initially, Inumaru and his men planned to ambush Kyonyo and his men. When the ambush occurred, both sides sufferred casualities while Kyonyo escaped the attack. Learning about the ambush, Kyonyo's father Kennyo met with Kakushiba ikki members Naoe and Yasuke and asked for their help to protect his son. Arriving to the ambush site late, they managed to find a note where the bounty hunters were planned to meet at the Yakushi Onsen afterwards.[1]

At the spring, Naoe and Yasuke found and heard Inumaru speaking to his men about his disgust over the lack of support from fellow bounty hunter Kamakichi. Swiftly, they confronted and killed Inumaru and then acquired the katana Mending Bond from his personal effects.[1]
