Onna Musha by @samurai_yokai_ai
Onna-musha (女武者) is a term referring to female warriors in pre-modern Japan. These women fought in battle alongside samurai men. They were members of the bushi (warrior) class in feudal Japan and were trained in the use of weapons to protect their household, family, and honour in times of war Some of the most famous onna-musha were Empress Jingū, Tomoe Gozen, and Hangaku Gozen, who demonstrated remarkable courage, skill, and leadership in various wars and conflicts Onna-musha have an important presence in Japanese literature, art, and culture, as they represent the strength and spirit of Japanese women!

Anna Sawai training with Naginata for Shogun (2024). 😎
Naginata is a weapon used by Onna Musha (Female Warrior) who are non combatants that defends the castle and household. They act as the last line of defense to protect the lord, elderly and children in the event the enemy made it pass through the front line.

Could I ask you the name of the seal(?) fella who's dancing with Shen?
EHEHHEHE I’m so glad someone asked about her so I have an excuse to talk about my beloved samurai girl!!!
So that’s Akira: she’s what happens when you get too attached to a joke character, start giving them lore and now they’re your favorite.
Akira Kiyohara is a leopard seal onna-Musha (female samurai) who Shen met a long time ago, abandoned for 15 years, and brought back to take care of him after he was injured in a terrible “boat accident” that was supposed to be the end of him.
Akira is from my fancomic, Phoenix Rising and has a pretty prominent supporting role, as Shen’s caretaker and bodyguard and romantic partner of an unspecified variety.
She’s very butch and a bit of a blockhead and a very skilled swordswoman, but she’s very sweet and generally pretty well meaning. She’s extremely loyal to Shen, and would do pretty much anything for her, including breaking her own moral code.

Drew a lesbian samurai, kissing her lover farewell before she leaves to battle. Tried to emulate old Japanese art. Decided to draw it after finding out there were samurai women, called Onna-Musha.

Naoe uses a kusarigama? This game looks like it was tailor made to make me buy it.
The trailer showed her village being burned by some samurai including Yasuke, so I bet that means she'll be from Iga
#iga province was an independent province defended by ninjas. they were eventually conquered by oda nobunaga who yasuke worked for#all they have to do now is reveal an onna-musha as a main supporting character and then I'll know the game was made for me#i also really appreciate that the trailer showed samurai burning a village and killing peasants. lots of samurai were not good people

KOJO MIYAGINO: The Filial Using a Naginata (mid 1800s). Woodblock print, oban tate-e. 36.90cm x 25.40cm. British Museum.
What comes to mind when you hear the word samurai? Men wielding katanas? Ironclad Japanese warriors about to strike a blow? Or perhaps a robed samurai on the verge of self-sacrifice.
How about a kimono-wrapped lady on the verge of kicking ass?
While most women in feudal Japan were expected to adhere to traditional roles, samurai as a rising warrior class (actually called “bushi” before the Kamakura Period) included both men and women. However, "samurai" was a term reserved for men. Women "samurai" were deemed onna-musha (a female warrior on the offensive) or onna bugeisha, a warrior woman on the defensive.
Onna musha were rarer than their onna bugeisha counterparts, who were nevertheless formidable women. Onna bugeisha were trained in martial arts to defend their homes against the frequent ransacking that took place during the Warring States Period in feudal Japan. Their weapon of choice was the naginata, a curved sword mounted on a pole, first used by warrior monks in 750 A.D.
