The Kabukimono Target Locations and Quest List

Kabukimono Map
Last Three Elite Kabukimono Locations
Gather the Leaders Near Takagi Otsuka Fort
Once you kill the first five Kabukimono targets, you will unlock the Note to Kabukimono quest item that will give you information on the remaining Kabukimono. Go to Nishinomiya Shrine and send a message on the board where you can pick between hunting the remaining leaders one by one or gather them in one place.
If you choose to gather all the leaders, they will all convene in a lumberyard east of the Takagi Otsuka Fort in Harima region where you will have to fight them all at once. If you pick the one by one option, then you will have to hunt them in different locations instead.
Elite Kabukimono Individual Locations
| Corrupt Blade |  Habayama Camp, Harima |
|---|---|
| The Laughing Man |  Eastern Mount Kasagata, Harima |
| Peacock |  Northern Mount Kasagata, Harima |
If you pick the one by one option, the remaining elite Kabukimino leaders will be scattered across the Harima region instead of being gathered near the Takagi Otsuka Fort.
Should You Hunt the Kabukimono Leaders or Gather Them Together?

How to Unlock The Kabukimono
Talk to Shin'nyo in Nishinomiya Shrine Town
Unlock The Kabukimono quests by proceeding to Nishinomiya Shrine Town and talking to Shin'nyo at the front of Nishinomiya Shrine. He will explain how the Kabukimono scorn the law and customs so Naoe takes it upon herself to bring justice to the innocents.
You will see the tips on where to find the first 5 Kabukimono and killing them will give you the Note to Kabukimono quest item that will lead you to Nishinomiya Shrine, where you will decide how to deal with the last 3 Kabukimono.
You can also kill five of the eight Kabukimono members if you found them in the map even if you haven't acquired this quest yet.
What is the Kabukimono?
Ronins that Disrupt Social Harmony
The Kabukimono are ronins who disrupt the social harmony and scorn the law and customs of the land. They are also described to be colorful ronin, and this is evident from their flashy attire that make them visually distinctive compared to the other people surrounding them.
They also do not care if the innocents suffer as the consequence of their action, so Naoe vows to put a stop to them.
