Suzuki Magoichi

Suzuki Magoichi

Suzuki Magoichi (鈴木孫一、鈴木孫市?), better known as Saiga Magoichi or Saika Magoichi (雑賀孫一、雑賀孫市?), (1534?- May 2(?), 1589) was the name given to the leader of the Saika Ikki. He is famous for arming his troops with arquebuses and donning the yatagarasu as his family crest.

There were three people known as Saika(Suzuki) Magoichi, included Suzuki Sadayu (鈴木佐大夫, 1511-1585, true name Suzuki Shigeoki (鈴木重意)), Suzuki Shigetomo (鈴木重朝, 1561-1623) and Suzuki Shigehide (鈴木重秀, 1546(?)-1586(?)). Suzuki Shigehide is perhaps the better known of the three, known for supporting the Ikkō resistance against Oda Nobunaga during the Ishiyama Hongan-ji War. After Torii Mototada's downfall during the battle of Sekigahara, he is said to have lived the rest of his days as a ronin in Mito Domain. Reports of different men using the moniker range from Wakayama, Ibaraki and Mie prefectures.
