Isono Kazumasa (died 1582) was a Japanese samurai who was situated at Ōmizo Castle during the late Sengoku period.
Biography[edit | edit source]
In 1582, Isono Kazumasa held a position at Ōmizo Castle and learned about Sugitani Zenjūbō's teppō, which he retrieved after Lord Oda Nobunaga's death. Keeping it at the castle, Kazumasa and his men were soon disturbed by Zenjūbō's student Rokkaku Katsuhime, who came to retrieve her mentor's teppō. However, Katsuhime was cornered as Kazumasa fired a shot into her knee.[1]
Before he could deliver the final shot, Kazumasa came under attack by Katsuhime's ally and Kakushiba ikki member Fujibayashi Naoe. Overwhelmed, the samurai was killed before Naoe retrieved his teppō and carried Katsuhime to safety.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Historically, Kazumasa was once part of the Azai clan but defected to the Oda clan after Nagamasa killed his mother in retaliation for Kazumasa losing Sawayama Castle to the Oda clan. In his later life, he lived as a priest until his death in 1583.[2]
