Sanjo
Sanjo (died c. 1570s) was a Japanese Assassin during the mid-16th century.
Biography
An Assassin based at an outpost near Akame Shi Waterfalls in Iga, Japan, Sanjo was among those summoned by their leader Fujibayashi Tsuyu in the 1570s to the kofun in Izumi Settsu to prevent the Shinbakufu's theft of the country's Imperial Regalia.[1] The resulting battle was a massacre which ended in many Assassins slaughtered and the loss of the regalia.[2] Sanjo 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 died from his wounds. Years later in 1582, Tsuyu's daughter Naoe found and read his letter while she sought to learn more about the Kakushiba ikki.[1]
