Kabukimono

Gangs of samurai in feudal Japan

Kabukimono (傾奇者) or hatamoto yakko (旗本奴) were gangs of samurai in feudal Japan. First appearing in the Azuchi–Momoyama period as the turbulent Sengoku period drew to a close, kabukimono were either rōnin, wandering samurai, or men who had once worked for samurai families who, during times of peace, formed street gangs. Some, however, were also members of more prominent clans—most notably Oda Nobunaga and Maeda Toshiie.
