Ishikawa Goemon - Nanzen-ji temple
His most legendary tale was his attempted assassination of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the ruler of Japan. After hiding for hours near the main gate of the Nanzen-ji Temple in Kyoto, Goemon was able to infiltrate Hideyoshi’s stronghold, Fushimi castle, by killing a few guards and slipping silently around others. As Goemon approached the sleeping warlord, he accidentally knocked a bell off a table, sending the nearby samurai to interfere with his plans. When captured, Goemon confronted Hideyoshi by exclaiming “It is you who are the robber who stole the whole country!”
