Chobei the Rogue

During the Warring States period, immediately after Hideyoshi Hashiba defeated Mitsuhide Akechi at the Battle of Yamazaki, in the village of Ogurisu in Yamashiro Province, which was located near the battlefield, a group of children were scavenging for swords, and among them was the rogue Chōbei. Since Mitsuhide’s body was missing, Hideyoshi offered a bounty for his head while simultaneously confiscating horses and rice from the villagers.
