Yamanouchi Tobei (died 1585) was a Japanese spy who served under Yasuhira, the spymaster of the Japanese Templar Kimura Yukari, in Awaji during the late Sengoku period.

Biography[edit | edit source]

A childish man with an affinity for puppet shows, Tobei served as a spy for Yasuhira, one of Kimura Yukari's three taishō (大将, lit. "general").[1] In 1585, after Yukari's demise at Iwaya Castle,[2] Tobei tried to rally the remaining Sanzoku Ippa members and wrote a note, accusing fellow spy Yamane Ichi and two of Nowaki's shinobi at Kannoji Temple of being traitors.[1]

After agreeing to help Hattori Hanzō's ally Konatsu eliminate the last Sanzoku Ippa operatives on Awaji, Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke investigated the Sumoto Docks and located Tobei at a stand. Promptly assassinating him, they recovered his note and a spare teppō, the Pinprick, from his personal effects.[1]
