Your journey to hunt down the Kabukimono begins in the Settsu region. Here, you'll encounter Shin'nyo, a compassionate priest who entrusts you with the mission to quell the chaos caused by these rogue ronin. The Kabukimono, a group of flamboyant ronin, revel in lawlessness and cruelty, wreaking havoc without regard for the consequences. It falls upon the assassins to restore peace and safety to the region by eliminating these threats.
The Kabukimono faction consists of eight distinct targets, each with their own nefarious gang and territory. To track them down, Assassin's Creed Shadows encourages exploration and the use of clues to pinpoint their locations. However, for those eager to expedite the process, here's a detailed guide to finding each Kabukimono member.

The Ghost General, leader of the Hungry Ghosts, is known for his insatiable appetite and leads a gang that consumes everything in their path. To find him, head to the city of Sakai in the southwestern part of the Izumi Settsu region. Navigate to the western part of the city, specifically the Money Changer District. Given the overwhelming numbers of his followers, it's advisable to eliminate the ronin one by one or utilize Yasuke's strength to even the odds before confronting the Ghost General.
Grave Dancer

Leading the Defilers, the Grave Dancer and his gang show no respect for the sanctity of life or death. To find this corrupt ronin, travel northeast from Sakai along the main road towards the Sumiyoshi Shrine, located south of Osaka. Here, amidst the graves, you'll encounter the Grave Dancer. Dispatch him to his final resting place using your Hidden Blade or any weapon of your choice.
Ember

The Ember, head of the Firebrands, is notorious for his destructive obsession with fire. To locate him, travel north from Sakai into Osaka and proceed to the Fishermen's District. Look for the burned-down buildings further north of this area, where the Ember awaits. Exercise caution in this environment, clearing out his followers before engaging him to prevent a fiery demise.
Big Sueki

Big Sueki and his gang are notorious for their indulgence in sake, forsaking honor for pleasure. To find him, journey to Muko Post Town, just north of Amagasaki Castle in the western part of Izumi Settsu. Near the moat, use the surrounding bamboo and thickets for cover to approach and end their revelry decisively.
Chief Cuckoo

Once honorable samurai, Chief Cuckoo and his followers have fallen into disgrace, now terrorizing the innocent. To find him, head to the city of Katano in the central part of Izumi Settsu. At the southern edge of the town, locate the Katano Oil Trading area, where Chief Cuckoo is stationed. Utilize the surroundings to your advantage and bring a dramatic end to his reign of terror.
Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock

After dealing with the other members, you'll face the final trio of Kabukimono: Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock. Head to Nishinomiya Shrine, west of Amagasaki Castle, where you'll have the option to confront them individually or together. Choosing the latter is more efficient. From the shrine, travel west to Kakogawa Estuary, then northeast to Takagi Otsuka Fort. Continue east to find the three villains in a courtyard near a medium-sized hut. Though the battle will be challenging, utilize the NPCs present to distract your enemies and strike when the opportunity arises. Eliminate all three to eradicate the Kabukimono threat entirely.
