Yuki no Kata was a Japanese onna-musha during the late Sengoku period.

Biography

By 1582, Yuki grew up to be a formidable warrior with her naginata and challenged master swordsman and warrior across Japan to learn from them. In Harima, she came across a naginata master and student of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, Tomita Nobutaka at the Ishi no Hōden. Easily, she bested him in combat and made an impression on the officer. Soon, she searched for Yasuke, the "Dragon from Beyond the Sea."[1]

Fortunately, the Kakushiba ikki member came and found Nobutaka wounded near the shrine. After being directed to Yuki, they discussed their goals and both accepted to duel with each other. Yasuke managed to best her and both thanked each other while Yuki revealed how she fought to face her fears of fighting in this cruel war. After their duel, Yuki gifted a naginata, Celestial Blade, to Yasuke before the samurai left. Afterwards, Yuki was charmed by Nobutaka for stealing his heart.[1]

Behind the scenes

Yuki no Kata is the only duelist that was not a student of Nobutsuna but managed to best one before dueling Yasuke.[1] While she is historically attested to have participated in the Battle of Sekigahara, her actual name has been lost to history.[2]

Historically, she is the daughter of Ukita Hideie and his first wife Gōhime. This contrasts the historical standards since Hideie is only thirteen years old in the year 1582.[2]
