    Born as the son of an Ako clan samurai, Hazama Shinroku was living as a ronin (masterless samurai) in Edo when the famous sword-slashing incident occurred at Matsu-no-Koroka. He joined the secret alliance for revenge alongside his father and elder brother. According to legend, after successfully fulfilling their mission and while heading toward Sengakuji Temple in Takanawa, he tied a sum of money to the spear he carried. He then threw it over the wall of Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple as an offering to pay for his own funeral and memorial services.
