Your journey to dismantle the Kabukimono begins in the Settsu region. Here, you'll meet the compassionate priest Shin’nyo, who entrusts you with the mission to hunt down these rogue ronin and restore peace to the area. The Kabukimono are a group of colorful yet ruthless ronin, indifferent to the laws and willing to harm anyone in their path. It falls to the assassins to intervene and bring tranquility back to the people.
There are eight distinct targets within the Kabukimono faction that you must eliminate.
How and Where to Find All Kabukimono Members in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* challenges you to uncover the whereabouts of your targets through exploration and clue-following, rather than providing direct locations. However, if you're looking to expedite your search, here's where you can locate each Kabukimono member:
Ghost General

The Ghost General, leader of the voracious Hungry Ghosts, can be found in the city of Sakai, located in the southwestern part of the Izumi Settsu region. Head to the western part of the city, to the Money Changer District. Given the number of enemies, it's wise to take them out one by one or use Yasuke's strength to level the playing field.
Grave Dancer

The Grave Dancer, leader of the Defilers, disrespects all that is sacred. Find him northeast of Sakai, near the Sumiyoshi Shrine south of Osaka. He lurks among the buried, and you can dispatch him using the Hidden Blade or any weapon of your choice.
Ember

Ember, leader of the Firebrands, aims to cleanse the world with fire. Travel north from Sakai into Osaka, to the Fishermen’s District, and further north to find burned-down buildings where Ember awaits. Clear the area of other enemies before engaging this pyromaniac to ensure a safer confrontation.
Big Sueki

Big Sueki, a lover of sake, leads a gang of similarly indulgent ronin. Find him in Muko Post Town, north of Amagasaki Castle in the western part of Izumi Settsu. Utilize the surrounding bamboo and thickets for stealthy approaches before ending their revelry.
Chief Cuckoo

Once honorable, the Chief Cuckoo now leads a group of fallen samurai terrorizing peasants. Locate him in the city of Katano, centrally positioned in the Izumi Settsu region, at the southern edge near the Katano Oil Trading location. Use the environment to your advantage for an explosive conclusion.
Corrupt Blade/Laughing Man/Peacock

After eliminating the other Kabukimono members, you'll face the final three: Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock. Head to the Nishinomiya Shrine west of Amagasaki Castle. At the shrine's entrance, you can choose to pursue them individually or confront them all at once in Harima. To gather them in one location, travel west from the shrine to the Kakogawa Estuary, then northeast to Takagi Otsuka Fort. Continue east to find them in a courtyard next to a medium-sized hut. This battle will be challenging, but use the NPCs to your advantage and strike when the time is right to eliminate them all.
