"You were right about this cause - it is not worth it. I should have never left you to fulfill this oath."
―Excerpt from Sanjo's last letter.[src]-[m]

Sanjo (died c. 1570s) was a Japanese Assassin of the Kakushiba ikki during the mid-16th century.

Biography

One of the Assassins based at an outpost near Akame Shi Waterfalls in Iga, Sanjo was among those summoned by their leader Tsuyu to the kofun in Izumi Settsu to prevent the theft of the Imperial Regalia[1] by the Shinbakufu. The resulting battle was a massacre which ended in the slaughter of many Assassins and the loss of the regalia.[2] Sanjo himself was heavily wounded after being shot but managed to return to the Iga outpost, where he wrote a final letter addressing his former lover, expressing his regret for leaving them to join the brotherhood. Not long after writing the letter, Sanjo passed away from his wounds.[1]

Years later, in 1582, Sanjo's letter was recovered and read by Tsuyu's daughter Fujibayashi Naoe, who sought to learn more about the Kakushiba ikki.[1]
