Goro (bandit)

Goro was a bandit who became leader of his group through cunning and guile. He specialized in targeting travelers on isolated roads, his scouts identifying easy targets in advance. Sometimes, though, he accepted tougher assignments if there was enough koku involved. In 1123 Goro was hired to ambush a group traveling north from Tsuma, but the bandits were soundly defeated by the ambushed, who revealed as a group of samurai.
