Bessho Harumasa (別所 治正; died 1582), also known as The Ox, was a Japanese warrior who served as a retainer to the Bessho clan alongside Nakamura Tadashige during the late 16th century. Following the fall of Miki Castle, which served as the Bessho's clan stronghold, Harumasa sought to regain control of Harima and joined the Shinbakufu to gain the manpower to do so.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

Bessho Harumasa is a character created for the 2025 video game, Assassin's Creed: Shadows. He is portrayed by Andrew Kishino who also provided the voice of Heiji, and other additionals.[2]

Etymology[]

Harumasa (治正) is a Japanese given name, comprised of the characters 治 (haru) "govern, regulate, administer, reign" or "cure" and 正 (masa) "correct" or "justice".[3][4]

The surname Bessho (別所) is from the clan of the same name, a cadet branch of the Akamatsu clan.[5] It is comprised of the characters 別 (be, betsu, bechi) "different, seperate, another" and the suffix 所 (-sho) "place".[6][7]
