Yoshiharu was a Japanese man from Iga and the grandfather of Murasaki during the late Sengoku period.
Biography[edit | edit source]
After the Tenshō Iga War, Yoshiharu lost nearly his entire family except for his granddaughter Murasaki. As a result, their home came under the control of Oda troops while he and Murasaki wandered the province in search of a new home.[1]
Within a year of wandering, they came across an abandoned cabin and rested there. However, they were attacked by a stranger who nearly killed them. Fortunately, they were saved by the Kakushiba ikki member and shinobi Fujibayashi Naoe, who fought and killed their attacker.[2][3]
Naoe checked on Yoshiharu and Murasaki as the elderly man told her that his granddaughter was severely hurt. Naoe left to look for help, bringing her "auntie" Matsu to treat the girl's injuries[2] while Naoe went to fetch maggots. However, it was all for naught as Murasaki only pretended to be injured so she and her grandfather would not have to leave the cabin.[4]
While Matsu prepared her famous misoshiru and Naoe retrieved Yoshiharu's lanterns from his former residence, Yoshiharu spent more time with Matsu and felt content with her company. When dinner was set, all four began to eat before Murasaki abruptly pleaded for her grandfather to stay, as she had not seen him smile in a long time. With Naoe and Matsu's insistence, Yoshiharu ultimately agreed to stay for a season. Matsu then promised to train Murasaki as a shinobi while she and Yoshiharu helped Matsu out at her new home.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Yoshiharu is a fictional character in Assassin's Creed: Shadows, who happens to be the brother of the yamabushi Genpaku, who met Naoe and fellow Kakushiba ikki member Yasuke in Yoshino, Yamato, and asked for their help against the yamabushi imposters plaguing Japan.[3]
