Kyonyo (教如; 1558 – 1614) was a Japanese sohei who served twelfth abbot of the Honganji. He was the son of Kennyo and led Ikkō-ikki remnants against Oda Nobunaga following his father's defeat in 1580.[1]

Biography

Meeting Fujibayashi Naoe

By early 1582, Kyonyo led a small group of Ikkō-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 Shinbakufu, 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 the Iga jonin Fujibayashi Nagato who was killed by Koretake's group.[1]

Persued by bounty hunters

Later that year, Kyonyo was sought after by bounty hunters. His father Kennyo who, by then was situated at the Fudo-do Temple in Kii, tasked Naoe and her samurai ally Yasuke, in eliminating these bounty hunters to save his son. After investigating an ambush site, Naoe confirmed the plot to kill Kyonyo and that the attackers would regroup at the Yunomine Onsen after the deed had been carried out.[2]
