Please read the article [[Koka Castles]] for much more detailed information about the unique history and castles in this region of often unexplored castles. Visitors tend to skip the castles and go right to the ninja related history, but I think it's important to understand more of where the Koka ninja originated and this brief article should help pull it together. If you're not interested in the castles, at least skip down to the section about "Koka Samurai in History" This was one massive update covering most of my castle travels from winter & spring of 2022. I did the research and writing over the summer to release this article in August. Much of the information is not readily available on the web. I made multiple trips to the Kyoto Prefectural library for some additional research in hard to find books. I'm not sure why I did not post this earlier while I did post it on Facebook. I'm trying to clean up some outstanding updates and profiles from 2022 so expect to see some more updates soon!
