In the tumultuous world of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, chaos breeds opportunity for those who would exploit the vulnerable. Amidst this turmoil, the Brotherhood, led by Naoe and Yasuke, stands as a beacon of hope, dedicated to protecting the innocent. For those committed to justice and seeking to locate all Kabukimono members in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* to bring them to justice, we're here to guide you through the process.
Your journey to hunt down the Kabukimono begins in the Settsu region. Here, you'll meet the compassionate priest, Shin’nyo, who entrusts you with the mission to quell the chaos caused by these unruly ronin. The Kabukimono are a band of vibrant yet lawless ronin, unconcerned with the harm they inflict or the laws they break. It falls upon the assassins to restore peace and bring solace to the afflicted populace. There are eight distinct targets within the Kabukimono faction that you'll need to confront.
In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the game challenges you to uncover your targets through exploration and clue-gathering, rather than directly pinpointing their locations. However, to save you time and effort, here are the precise locations where you can find each Kabukimono member:
The Ghost General, leader of the Hungry Ghosts, is notorious for his voracious appetite and the chaos his gang spreads. Follow the clues to the city of Sakai in the southwestern part of the Izumi Settsu region. Head to the western part of the city to the Money Changer District. Here, you'll find the Ghost General. Given the number of enemies, it's wise to eliminate them one by one or utilize Yasuke’s abilities to level the playing field.
The Grave Dancer, who leads the Defilers, revels in the corruption that plagues the land. From Sakai, travel northeast along the main road until you reach the Sumiyoshi Shrine, south of Osaka. It's here, amidst the graves, that you'll encounter the Grave Dancer. Dispatch him to his final resting place using your preferred method, be it the Hidden Blade or another weapon.
The Ember, head of the Firebrands, seeks to cleanse the world with fire and destruction. Travel north from Sakai into Osaka, to the Fishermen’s District, and beyond to the area with the burned-down buildings. This is where you'll confront the Ember. Exercise caution, clear out other combatants first, and then extinguish his dangerous flame, saving countless lives in the process.
Big Sueki, a ronin with a penchant for sake, leads a gang that prioritizes pleasure over honor. To end their revelry, head to Muko Post Town, just north of Amagasaki Castle in the western part of Izumi Settsu. Near the moat, you'll find your target. Utilize the surrounding bamboo and thickets for a stealthy approach, and deliver a decisive strike to end their party.
Once honorable, the Chief Cuckoo and his gang now torment the peasantry, driving them from their homes. To stop their tyranny, journey to the city of Katano in the central part of Izumi Settsu. At the southern edge of the town, you'll find the Katano Oil Trading location, where the Chief Cuckoo resides. Use your surroundings strategically to bring about an explosive end to his reign of terror.
After dealing with the other members, you'll face the final three: Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock. Head to the Nishinomiya Shrine west of Amagasaki Castle. At the entrance, you can choose to hunt them down individually or confront them all at once. Opting for the latter leads you to the Harima region. From the shrine, travel west to the Kakogawa Estuary, then northeast along the roads to Takagi Otsuka Fort. Continue east to find the trio in a courtyard next to a medium-sized hut. This battle will be challenging, but use the NPCs to your advantage to distract the enemies and strike when the opportunity arises. Eliminating them will finally rid the region of the Kabukimono threat.
