	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Shiro Tokisada Amakusa
		According to his official biography, Amakusa was born in Nagasaki between 1621 and 1623, and died February 28, 1638.
		Amakusa led a Christian rebellion in the Shimabara region.
		Amakusa is loosely based on a character from Makai Tensho, who was in turn based on the historical figure of the same name.

		Shiro gazed into the eyes of the teen and asked the boy, "and what color flag will death be flying, my child?" The boy told Shiro nothing about colors as he stood in silence staring up at him.
		Shiro asked the boy again about who was coming to kill them and the boy claimed he seen the eyes of Kumamoto Hosokawa in a dream.
		Shiro turned to the ronin of Hara Castle and told him to alert the others that an army was on the way.

	WISHES
		Led by a youth called Masuda Shiro from Amakusa, the peasant rebels of Shimabara, along with their Christian convert followers, held out against the overwhelming Tokugawa forces until driven to the brink by hunger and eventual massacre in a final assault on 12 April 1638 in their stronghold in Hara Castle.
		Shiro was captured and decapitated by a soldier of the lord of Higo and his head taken to Nagasaki and exhibited.
		The point is that the Christianized rebels of Amakusa and Shimabara, in common with generations of peasant rebels in Japan, sprang from a common root.

		Amakusa consumed the souls of the people to control the power possessed by Zankuro in order to reclaim the power he once held.
		Amakusa appears to be pulled in two directions [two of him briefly appear on-screen in the 'being hit' frame, being stretched away from each other].
		Amakusa disappears, and a gravestone grows out of the ground and two chains spring from the ground and grab either side of the gravestone.

		Amakusa is known for the famous five bridges, called the Pearl Line, or Amakusa Gokyo, which links the major islands with Nagasaki in the north and west of Kumamoto.
		Historically speaking, Amakusa was at the center of Christianity in the 16th-17th century when Christians were persecuted for their faith.
		Jesus Christ will provide what Amakusa Shiro was willing to die for when he rallied the people of Amakusa and Shimabara to make a stand for equality and freedom.

	Amakusa Shiro Tokisada-- A Shrine ^_^
		In SS1 (early 1788), Amakusa was the main villain, a spirit who possessed the body of Hanzo's son, Shinzo, and corrupted through the evil influences of Ankokushin Ambrosia.
		In SS2 (late 1788), Amakusa returned to the world of mortals from the afterlife, but was not the villain; it was actually a Shinto priestess possessed by the evil spirit Mizuki.
		Amakusa seeks to rejoin with his other half before it can be destroyed by any other Samurai Spirit; Hanzo in particular.

	Samurai Spirits
		Amakusa Shiro Tokisada was an historycal character, actually: he led a Christian revolt against the government.
		Amakusa: When they say Amakusa is Hanzo's son, they're partially correct; the evil spirit of Amakusa possessed his son Shinzo.
		Amakusa Shiro Tokisada was also a historical figure (17th century), just as (SH) indicated, but he wasn't a transvestite freak.

		The historical background of Amakusa Shiro is indeed the type which breeds legend.
		The leader of the peasant rebellion was Amakusa Shiro, the son of a Konishi Ronin.
		Those rebelling looked upon Amakusa as a type of savior, and historians generally refer to this movement as a (rare) form of Japanese "messianism" (that is, belief that Amakusa was a messiah-figure under whose military leadership the revolt would bring about a more spiritual political reality).

	So...just what IS the story to Samurai Shodown 2? - Neo-Geo Forums
		I just did a bit of poking around at various sites to find the background of the historical Amakusa Shiro(u) Tokisada upon which the SNK character is very loosely based, and it seems that this person was male.
		As for plot, I'm fairly uncertain about that, but I think it has something to do with Amakusa being raised from the dead (or otherwise transcending the life/death barrier) by his hatred of the Tokugawa clan and generally acting as a conduit for evil to infect the world.
		I could well be mistaken, but I get the impression that Amakusa doesn't actively spread evil; evil just kind of tags along and makes things suck whenever he's around, thus making him a target for righteous slashing.

		The very fact that not much is known of Jubei has made him ripe fodder for novels and movies, in which he is traditionally portrayed as a one eyed swordsman dressed in fl.
		What we know of Shiro is that he was Christian, that he was only 15 when he purportedly led the uprising., and that he died during the uprising.
		It is up to Jubei as a master swordsman to stop Shiro and his demon horde of resurrected samurai.

		This version, released in 2003 under the banner of the Kadokawa media empire, isn’t quite as gleefully wild as the first but it sports better graphics and hardware (so to speak) and is still fairly fun to watch.
		Shiro is beheaded by his enemies, but not before making a pact with the underworld to rise again as a demonic incarnation of revenge.
		When Shiro sends the aforementioned blight to destroy the year’s crop harvest, there’s scenes of peasant unrest and rebellion that create a ready-made army for Shiro to rally to his side.

		This much is fact: In 1638, Amakusa Shiro, a Christian rebel against the Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan, rallied thousands of warriors to his side.
		In each case, either Shiro or Hosokawa are able to prey on their weaknesses, their unresolved feelings, and their ambivalences about their lives to convert them to their cause.
		The movie has plenty of swordfights and action scenes, but also spends a fair amount of time with Shiro and his cronies using their powers of darkness to overcome their enemies.

		When fighting Amakusa, the stage is a wide hall, well-lit but in disrepair.
		If you fight Amakusa, then Zankuro (who was imprisoned in the statue and kills off Amakusa) is freed.
		The statue lies broken, Hazuki is on the floor (alive, hopefully), and Amakusa is a bloody mess on the floor.

		But there was a real Amakusa Shiro, and he was a 15 year old Christian who was thought to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.
		Shiro had renounced his samurai family and led 40,000 followers in an anti-government uprising.
		After Shiro's death a legend began that said that since Shiro was prevented from creating Heaven on Earth he would be reincarnated as Satan, and that the last 2 great samuri, Musashi and Jubei, would be the ones to defeat him.

		The land of Japan was covered with the martyrs’ blood in Amakusa and the challenge today is where are the churches planted by so many lives?” John 12:24 says, “I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed.
		But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” As I saw the “fumie” picture, of the mother with her child in her arms and one behind, the LORD spoke to my heart that Amakusa was my life time ministry.
		As we visited the museum called, Amakusa Shiro Kan. Amakusa Shiro was a young Christian about the age of 15 who was gladly martyred because of his faith.

		A baroque mixture of samurai adventures, historic figures (Jubei and Shiro were real people), pseudo-Christian millenialism, and standard anime action, Resurrection is set at the close of the civil wars that led to the unification of Japan in the 17th century.
		Tokisada Shiro Amakusa is regarded as the Son of God by a group of Christians rebelling against the newly established Tokugawa Shogunate.
		The resulting slaughter of Shiro's followers sets in motion a complicated plot involving a prophecy that if the new Savior is rejected, he will be reborn as Satan.
