I believe like most women she continued until old age kept teaching new girls and more techniques passing knowledge down throughout the ages until the end of the 4th ninja war which annihilated the ninjas
This Guy That's what I keep telling Legends of History 😄 his content is interesting, informative & intelligent. & never disappointing at all. Fantastic stuff 👍😃
Hmm Kunoichi is a "female ninja" and they aren't rare so much as not talked about or documented. Given the time and the place in society women held it wouldn't look good for women to out smart a any man of the Shogunate or Clans. Japan is a save face type of culture. They will lie or completely cover up such dealings with infiltrators. Especially, those that got so ...close . And yes the best way to get information from a member of a Shogunate was to sleep with them. So it was quite easy to come in as say a courtisen and stroke a military leaders ego enough to get some details of their teams course of action in war. Also, as a side not most "Ninja" were farmers that littered the countryside where most battle were held. So, the life of a ninja was as much in plain sight as it was under concealment.
@@theonetrueeggroll4252 Here's an extra wrapping for you Mr. Eggroll, because I did state that Kunoichi called for female ninja's. Also, you are both wrong and right. Yes, Kunoichi is the name given to a female that was trained as a ninja, but there are more than one that held that title. Also, if you know the Japanese language (as I do to a degree) Kunoichi is bothconsided plural and singular in context.
Eggroll & Elexander, Ku-no-ichi (くノ一) is considered as a female ninnjya (I don't know about the plural form). Originally it was used as a slang for a woman, because the kanji Woman (女) can be separated into 3 parts which resemble those 3 letters to be read as Ku (く) - no (ノ) - ichi (一). The word appeared as a female ninnjya in a novel in 1960s, and started to spread.
kunoichi were spys that gathered intelligence and did assassinations, they were femme-fatales, often slept with high ranking figures and get them to reveal information of high value to the kunoichi's master, they also killed the high ranking figures in the middle of the night. edit: basically what he said in the video
I think that she was not returned to her family home after her husband died, because she was already working under Takeda's order. In that time, a war like that would bring a lot of resources and power, and that's why she was recruited by Shingen in order to gather power to himself, but, as soon she glimpse the opportunity, she sized the power to herself... Then I believe in the line that Shingen's a woman.
Also ninja didn’t wear full black more of a dark navy color as pure black would still stick out next to the night sky whereas dark blues would blend into shadows as well as the night sky. Fun fact.
Keep up the good work you acutally help me settle a debate between my other half and myself with this video and the one about the onna bugeisha. Thanks
this is very informative! thank you : > Though! you forgot to mention that her very existence has been contested by historians! Either she was make-believe, just a story made up or -- what i'd like to believe -- she destroyed any kind of record that she ever existed. What are your thoughts on this? by the way! it's pronounced , and
I think if women could be Onna Musha why not Female Shinobi No Mono instead of Kunoichi which uses same Kanji as Word for Woman and like Ninja is a modern usage of Shinobi male or female so i avoid it wonder if Onna Shinobi possible in Japanese Kanji if it would be a accurate Japanese word im not sure
Exactly. Like I said it’s heavily debated if Mochizuki Chiyome existed. If she did exist she might have remarried and her deeds vanished into the darkness of history.
Maybe this is because im mexican but im pretty sure i hear you say "Tequila Shingen" XD But really, you need to work with the pronunciation it can really change the meaning of a word or a name, for example Chiyome sounds as if was a french name or something. Anyway exellent video as always
I theorize that she faded away to continue her craft, and train others to be "Prodigies" in present day Japan as we know today. Women in espionage in the "Japanese Equivalent of a Secret Service Intelligence Division/ Unit Apparatus. Just a theory! :-/
Shinobi No Mono boycott the word Ninja which is the Western word for Shinobi western as in Chinese and Europe Also Shingen Takeda used Sun Tzu Art of War so i think he would have used Female Shinobi
If shes as good as they say she disbanded the clan as if the kunochi never existed. Lived on and probably wrote books under a new indentity what better way to speak of your self and leave a bit for history.
Lady ninja are called kunoichi, traditionally they were equal in training and still are, the culture didn't vanish, it keeps adapting and now serves in such roles as executive protection and corp security. As far as the lady vanishing, she prob changed her name and tossed misidrection stories out and went to work for a dif lord, whoever suddenly started doing better in a far off area is prob where she ended up. If you think you know where a ninja is, you're def wrong and posibly screwed. Try playing chess w a kunoichi, just when it looks like you're winning, you've lost and you hear 'check mate', and that was a 12 yr old girl raised in the culture. I am not ninja, I am part of the culture, the larger warrior mystic culture that ninjutsu is. Btw good vid, keep up the good work. (Noone bother asking me anything, this info was given to allow popl a better understanding of the truth, I will not reply to any questions)
Isn't there a theory that Takeda was a woman herself? If that was true that would make things REALLY interesting, especially if ninja girl did kill him/her Edit nope I'm a idiot I got kenshin and Tekada confused AGAIN
The Legends of History I'm sorry I got kenshin and Takeda confused AGAIN (THIS KEEPS HAPPENING TO ME I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S LIKE CONFUSING WASHINGTON AND HAMILTON)
Historically shinobi no mono did use darker clothing for night missions. Why dress up like a monk at night when breaking into homes???? Makes no sense. Be smart about it. Day time they wear day clothing and night time like swat teams etc get the point….? I do believe the color was midnight blue…. Not black like in theater stage hand clothing.
What in the hell are you talking about Ninja are essentially subterfuge and assassination agents Women have always bee used for both of those things all across the world forever Don't tell me female ninja were rare
I’m a Mochizuki and we are proud of Chyiome.
Who's with me on creating this as an anime anybody?
Uuummmm No
its already a game called samurai warrior with a story line
I would love to participate!
Many of these history stories would make great anime.
I knew samurai and dynasty warriors use a lot of characters from histories but I didn't think that chiyome was part.
Mochizuki Chiyome for Samurai Warriors 5!
She is Kunoichi in Samurai Warriors 4 II
@@chezify oh so that was her real name
@@junandeo12345 yep.
Kunoichi is a girl Ninja.

I bet she went off to live a peaceful life. Or killed him and then did so. Lol either way good video.
Cheers bro!

Isn't female ninjas, called Kunoichi, more common though? Or at least based on what I remembered.
kunoichi were spys that gathered intelligence and did assassinations, they were femme-fatales, often slept with high ranking figures and get them to reveal information of high value to the kunoichi's master, they also killed the high ranking figures in the middle of the night.

Probably too much Naruto
"based on what I remembered"
Omg you guys ninjas are so cool I never knew they had magic powers and rocked out with their guitars while boning chicks!
www.realultimatepower.net
Actually wrong. Kunoichi was the name of a female ninja. There is no real name for a female ninja
You've been putting videos out a lot more lately (i feel) and the quality is still great. 👌
Cheers! Yeah, got some time off work so I'm able to pump out the content a bit more xD
this would make killer anime. good video, thank you.

That isn't to say they didn't but they most likely didn't also black was a expensive dye
female ninjas were so amazing that only one of hundreds was recorded in history
Please make videos about Tanba Momochi and Hino Kumawaka.
Takeda is pronounced Tah-kei-da. Great video, btw!
Male ninjas are called Shinobi. Female ninja are call Kunoichi.
Wrong, kunoichi is the name of a female ninja not female ninjas

Sounds like a similar story of Tomoe Gozen, the story's only consistent is the beginning and middle, but the end falls into fanfic.
Btw… awesome video
4:29 Those yellow eyes...
Xehanort *really* stepped his game up this time 0_0
omg this hardcore reminds me about Kunoichi from Samurai Warriors (Yukimura's female ninja)
she was i think
Need more japanese history please
AWESOME🎎🇯🇵
Do yukimura sanada

What is the title of the kunoichi michozuki film ?
Really cool 😎.ℹ️💯✅❤️👌🏿👍🏿☯️😎
I want this female ninja in a WORLD HEROES videogame
Pretty neat.
If she did exist, and its heavily debated, she might have lived a peaceful life after she dissolved her school.
Maybe remarried
Exactly. Like I said it’s heavily debated if Mochizuki Chiyome existed. If she did exist she might have remarried and her deeds vanished into the darkness of history.
She prob lost to Hattori who was more skillful ninja and served Tokugawa. Don’t think she betrayed shingen
Well… I honestly think her life ended peacefully. It is how most famous Shinobi or in this case, kunoichi, are said to die. Usually as monks.
is there a movie about her. i think she just went into hiding, and use her female ninja to keep and eye out and report anyone that's looking for her.
Call Tarantino I feel a good movie script in the making👺😏
Chiyome is pronounced "chiyom"? Not sure if that was correct or not.
chi yo me
They me remind about The Kyoshi warriors in Avatar the last Air bender..
Tequila Shingen~
Do Wong Fei Hung
Well female ninja female samurai actually existed interesting
She stayed on her ninja Ish
I'm here this is my screen saver
Maybe this is because im mexican but im pretty sure i hear you say "Tequila Shingen" XD
But really, you need to work with the pronunciation it can really change the meaning of a word or a name, for example Chiyome sounds as if was a french name or something.
Anyway exellent video as always
Was there a female samurai vs the first female ninja , vs female shogun as mercenaries
If these pictures are your artwork them I habe to let you know, they're amazing.
I theorize that she faded away to continue her craft, and train others to be "Prodigies" in present day Japan as we know today. Women in espionage in the "Japanese Equivalent of a Secret Service Intelligence Division/ Unit Apparatus. Just a theory! :-/
I'm here for the takeda-clan :v
She was a rider, for her man
I doubt she killed him, not impossible, but doesn't make much sense without a good motive.
Girl ninjas are soo attracted and soo pretty but whats era of a ninja ? Cuz idk and iwant to know what ninja's all era or period
Why she isn't in any samurai warriors game
More Interesting
Shinobi No Mono boycott the word Ninja which is the Western word for Shinobi western as in Chinese and Europe
Also Shingen Takeda used Sun Tzu Art of War so i think he would have used Female Shinobi
Didn't we chat about Cortasans?? 😄 more like this?? 👏😃
Yes we did!
The Legends of History
I thought that we had but then again we'v had a lot of interesting conversations, haven't we 😂😅😂😅
With respect My Lady..It`s spelled Courtesan.
Takeda (Tahk-Keh-Dah) Say it fast. =)
Wow she seemed like one hell of a woman
Her fate is a mystery. She probably married another man and lived normally
If shes as good as they say she disbanded the clan as if the kunochi never existed. Lived on and probably wrote books under a new indentity what better way to speak of your self and leave a bit for history.

It is pronounced Mow-Chi-zoo-key Chi-yo-may. lol. Japanese is tough, if you get the syllable wrong it is a different word or name all together..
Isn't there a theory that Takeda was a woman herself? If that was true that would make things REALLY interesting, especially if ninja girl did kill him/her
Edit nope I'm a idiot I got kenshin and Tekada confused AGAIN
Not sure if I've heard of that theory but will see what I can dig up :D

Haha no worries! For some reason I keep getting Takeda confused with Imagawa Yoshitmoto -.- You're not alone!
The Legends of History I just find it funny since the 2 were enemies 😭
The best ninja are gals.
Im a Mochizuki
Kunoichis - female ninja warriors
One small note: her name is Chiyome, Mochizuki's her surname 😉
I wish a woman like that was still around. Lol. Warrior women rock my world.
wise man say....becareful with a beauty women...more beuty she is more dangerous she become ..... i guss she is the one who kill takeda shingen
Historically shinobi no mono did use darker clothing for night missions. Why dress up like a monk at night when breaking into homes????
Makes no sense. Be smart about it.
Day time they wear day clothing and night time like swat teams etc get the point….?
I do believe the color was midnight blue…. Not black like in theater stage hand clothing.
Japanese pronunciation is way, way off...
She married may great great great granfather, when Takeda Shingen died. They have lived happily ever after then im here in this world.
