The Grave Dancer (died 1582) was a Japanese rōnin and participant in kabukimono culture located in Osaka.

Biography[edit | edit source]

As a kabukimono, Grave Dancer was one of the many rōnin who attacked the communities across the provinces of Izumi Settsu and Harima. However, the priest Shin'nyo of the Nishinomiya Shrine talked with and enlisted the help of the Kakushiba ikki member Fujibayashi Naoe to assassinate eight of their leaders.[1]

By 1582, Grave Dancer and his gang, the Defilers, pillaged and profaned anything the locals held close. Lurking around Sumiyoshi-taisha, the Grave Dancer was found and assassinated by Naoe. Before leaving, Naoe recovered the katana Widower's Solace from the Grave Dancer's personal effects.[1]
