does anyone have any information on Nakamura Hanjiro? I was really hoping to find him SOMEWHERE, but the page I've found with him on it don't make any sense. And I'm really into the whole Japanese history thing, especially hitokiri.

[edit] Assassin categories

I removed this article from any assassin-type category. The Hitokiri weren't so much assassins as they were simply deciples of their respective castes and places in society. It would be like calling gunslingers of the Old West assassins. Or, in more context, medieval European knights. Eluchil 10:40, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Four Hitokiri of the Bakumatsu

I've renamed the article because the term "Hitokiri" was NOT the title given to ONLY four assassins NOR it was used only during the Revolution. Nlf7 00:56, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
