Description
Obata Sukerokuro Nobuyo was a brave, young, faithful retainer of Ishida. Ishida was defeated in war, and Nobuyo spied among his enemies to discover the fate of his master, Ishida. Nobuyo was captured by the enemy, but was released because of his bravery. He then went to a Buddhist temple and committed seppuku, choosing an honorable death over life.
