"Your head isn't even worth taking back to Mitsuhide. I'll leave it here to rot."

―Aoki Ujimasa to Yasuke, 1582.^[src]^-[m]

Aoki Ujimasa (died 1582) was the guard commander of Katano Castle in Izumi Settsu, serving under the daimyō Akechi Mitsuhide during the late 16th century.

Biography[]

On 21 June 1582, sensing intruders inside the tenshu of the castle, Ujimasa rallied his troops to surround the building. Before his soldiers could storm the tenshu, he and his men were alerted to the arrival of Yasuke, the retainer of the late Oda Nobunaga. Ujimasa instructed his soldiers to fire their teppo at the samurai, but their weapons malfunctioned due to the heavy rain.^[1]

Ujimasa's men were cut down one by one by Yasuke, who then reached the tenshu outskirts where Ujimasa was located. Despite putting up a fierce resistance, Ujimasa and his remaining guards fell to Yasuke's blade.^[1]
