An ukiyo-e woodblock print triptych depicting Araki Mataemon at the duel.

In 1630, Kawai Matagorô killed Watanabe Kazuma's brother in Okayama. Matagorô's father let Matagorô go off to Edo and had the hatamoto Andô Jiemon and Kuze Sanshirô hide him. Ikeda Tadao, Lord of Okayama, demanded he be handed over but they refused. Thus, a conflict emerged Okayama han and the hatamoto. When Tadao died, his will asked for the defeat of Matagorô. Finally, the Tokugawa shogunate ordered the hatamoto to release Matagorô, who was then hidden by his uncle in Nara for a while. When he tried to return to Edo, however, he was ambushed at Iga-Ueno. Matagorô was with 10 guards and Kazuma had Sukedachi Araki Mataemon and 2 of Mataemon's pupils.

After a six-hour battle, Matagorô was killed.

A bunraku and kabuki play entitled Igagoe Dôchû Sugoroku was written based on these events; the story was later adapted several times to film and television.
