Biography[edit | edit source]
In 1585, working as a spy for the Japanese Templar and spymaster Yasuhira, Shokichi made contact with Kakushiba ikki member and samurai Hattori Hanzō, betraying his master. While feeding him information of Yasuhira's spy network, he was soon discovered by Yasuhira. However, instead of outright killing him, Yasuhira devised a plan to have him killed by Kakushiba ikki members Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke at the Samurai Quarters, by having him framed as himself. However, despite losing a fight against the Assassins, Shokichi revealed his true name and was spared. Before leaving, he informed the pair of a spy meeting in Yura near the Yura Minato Shrine.[1]
