Azai Jukei (died 1582), also known as Mizu and by the moniker of the Godai of Water, was a Japanese shinobi and a former student of the Rokkaku clan's patriarch, Rokkaku Yoshikata.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Previously part of an elite class of the Kōga-ryū ninjutsu school, Azai Jukei and her fellow shinobi abandoned their mentor Yoshikata after the downfall of the Kōga-ryū. Under Rokkaku Yoshimitsu's leadership, the group became known as the Godai Shinobi. They later allied themselves with the Shinbakufu, who tasked them to murder the Kakushiba ikki members Fujibayashi Naoe, Yasuke, and Rokkaku Katsuhime.[1]

In 1582, after the Kakushiba ikki helped Yoshikata eliminate the Shinbakufu member Akechi Kagemitsu, he gave Naoe a list of his fallen students who were wreaking havoc across Japan, trusting her to end their machinations.[2] Following a clue about Jukei's location, Naoe and Yasuke traveled to the temple Mangetsu-ji in western Ōmi. There, they found numerous dead bodies and her writing a poem atop a rock. Thus, they assassinated Jukei and acquired the tantō, Typhoon Tanto, from her personal effects.[1]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

If Azai Jukei is found after Rokkaku Yoshimitsu's death, she will lament his passing while fighting Naoe or Yasuke, indicating a close relationship between the two.[1]
