"You think this frightens me? I've had sharper knives at my throat, and they demanded my silence. Ask anything else. my favorite drink. Or how many koku of rice your kind can fetch. (laughs)"
―Samemaru's final words before being slain by Yasuke, 1582.[src]-[m]

Samemaru (died 1582) was a Japanese pirate and slaver who operated in Wakasa Province during the late 16th century.

Biography

Part of an alliance of pirates that dominated Wakasa Bay, Samemaru worked alongside the Shinbakufu member Takeda Motoaki in his schemes to massacre the Niwa clan in both Obama[1] and Tsuruga.[2] Samemaru was also an ally to the Portuguese Templar Duarte de Melo and aided in his slave trade operations in Japan.[3]

Death

However, with his affliation with Motoaki and his alliance well known, Samemaru was wanted in Wakasa. One evening, he ran from the Ashiguaru soldiers when he was spotted in the markets in Obama. Although he outran the soldiers, he was chased and confronted by Kakushiba ikki member Yasuke, who heard of slavery business. Upon their confrontation, Samemaru fought and teased him from what he heard from Duarte. However, he was bested and interrogated for information on Duarte but refused to give it up. Making a snide remark at Yasuke, Samemaru was then quickly slain by the samurai.[4]
