Takahashi Saburo (died 1582) was a Japanese samurai and member of the Takahashi clan who lived in Kyoto.
Biography[]
One of five sons of Takahashi Inoshichi, Saburo grew up sickly but hated the way his mother doted on him. He and his siblings Taro, Shiro, Ichi-Hime, and Jiro were then intensively trained by their father after their mother's passing, except for Goro. Under his father's orders, he, Shiro, Taro, and Jiro terrorized and attacked Kyoto's locals.[1]
By 1582, Saburo was seen as the least skilled when compared to Taro, Shiro, and Jiro, and implored Ichi-Hime for private training, yet she refused.[1] Soon enough, his family's behavior garnered the attention of Ujimasa, an ally of former Ise clan leader Ise Sadatame, who met with Sadatame's allies, the Kakushiba ikki members Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke, about ridding Kyoto of the Takahashi thugs.[2]
Finding out about Saburo's patrol in the southwestern part of Kyoto, the Kakushiba ikki members found him along with his protection detail. Ultimately, Saburo met his demise at Naoe and Yasuke's hands.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Depending on the player's choice, if Saburo is not killed before his father Takahashi Inoshichi, he will join Taro, Shiro, and Jiro at their father's secret garden to avenge his death. Meanwhile, Goro and Ichi-Hime can be spared by the player, becoming free of their family's grasp. Thus, Saburo may be killed on the streets of Kyoto or at the secret garden.
