| + | In [[1630]], Kawai Matagorô killed Watanabe Kazuma's brother in [[Okayama han|Okayama]]. Matagorô's father let Matagorô go off to [[Edo]] and had the ''[[hatamoto]]'' [[Ando Jiemon|Andô Jiemon]] and [[Kuze Sanshiro|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. |
