Kageyama Kazukage was a [[Mino province|Mino]] warrior and vassal of [[Saito Dosan|Saitô Dôsan]]. During the [[Siege of Ogaki castle|Siege of Ôgaki castle]] in [[1547]], Kazukage, who was sitting on a camp stool, was struck in the left eye by an arrow fired from [[Ogaki castle|Ôgaki castle]]. As soon as the arrow was removed, he was then struck in the right eye by another arrow, blinding him. His sword, originally held by [[Taira Kagekiyo]], and known as ''Azamaru'', would from then on be considered cursed, and the next owner, [[Niwa Nagahide]], would donate it to the Atsuta shrine in order to remove the curse.
