Tsuchi-Gumo (土蜘蛛, lit "dirt/earth spider"; died 1582) was the alias of a Japanese man who led a bounty hunter group that served Wada Koretake. After Koretake's death, he and his fellow bounty hunters moved to Kii and continued their criminal endeavors while pursuing the Ikkō-ikki's leader, Kyonyo.

Biography[edit | edit source]

By 1582, Tsuchi-Gumo and his group of bounty hunters worked with Shinbakufu member Wada Koretake.[1] After Koretake died at the hands of Kyonyo and the kunoichi Fujibayashi Naoe,[2] Tsuchi-Gumo and his group traveled to Kii to continue their incursions. However, when Kyonyo came with the remnants of the Ikkō-ikki to Kii, Tsuchi-Gomo planned to hunt and kill Kyonyo to avenge Koretake's death.[1]

Tsuchi-Gumo's efforts were noted by Kyonyo's father Kennyo, who met with Naoe and her fellow Kakushiba ikki member Yasuke and asked them to safeguard his son. Upon learning of his associates' failure to eliminate Kyonyo and their deaths, Tsuchi-Gomo decided to lure the Ikkō-ikki leader out of hiding by abducting Kennyo. Learning that Tsuchi-Gomo was at Akagi Fort, Kyonyo, along with Naoe and Yasuke, planned to rescue his father and kill the bounty hunter.[1]

Together, Naoe and Yasuke infiltrated the fort and sought out Tsuchi-Gumo. Upon finding him at the fort's private training grounds, the duo confronted and assassinated Tsuchi-Gumo. They acquired the ōdachi Flowing Peace from Tsuchi-Gumo's personal effects and then headed back to meet with Kyonyo and Kennyo, who reunited with each other and thanked the pair for their aid.[1]
