The Japanese Assassins were the Brotherhood of Assassins in Japan, formed during the 16th century.

During the Sengoku period, the Assassins worked to prevent the spread of the Templars in Japan, who were led by Jesuit missionaries. While the Templars recruited people such as Mochizuki Chiyome and Uesugi Kenshin, the Assassins recruited ninja and samurai like Hattori Hanzō and Yamauchi Taka. Over the years, the Japanese Assassins supported the ascension of the daimyo Tokugawa Ieyasu, eliminating rivals along the way.

Following the Great Purge of 2000, the remaining Japanese Assassins had a presence in Osaka. In 2013, their headquarters was attacked by the Onmoraki-Gumi, a yakuza faction, killing their leader, Kenichi Mochizuki. His wife, Saeko Mochizuki led an attack on the Onmoraki-Gumi in retalition, and took over the organization, using it as a front for Assassin activities.
