Kyonyo (教如; 1558 – 1614) was a Japanese sohei who served twelfth abbot of the Honganji. He was the son of Kennyo and led remnants Ikko-ikki remnants against Oda Nobunaga following his father's defeat in 1580.[1]
Biography
By early 1582, Kyonyo led a small group of Ikko-ikki remnants who continued their resistance against Nobunaga. In Izumi Settsu, they were opposed by the samurai Wada Koretake, one of Nobunaga's retainers and a member of the Shinbafuku, and thus called for help and assistance from anyone willing to participate. His call was answered by his former associate Yaya and the Iga kunoichi Fujibayashi Naoe, the daughter of an Iga jonin whose father was killed by Koretake's group.[1]
