  • Goemon Ishikawa was a former Ninja gone rogue and a Japanese equivalent of Robin Hood, whose story is still featured in many Kabuki plays. This legendary rogue is Shrouded in Myth and has given birth to many tales and myths. He was known for trying to assassinate Toyotomi Hideyoshi for a reason (some say he had his wife killed, others that he wanted to stop a tyrant), but was caught when he accidentally knocked off a bell. He was boiled alive in a iron kettle along with his son. With the last of his strength, he held the child out of the kettle.
