History UsefulNotes / IshikawaGoemon

** One episode of [[Anime/LupinIIIRedJacket the Red Jacket series]] has the ghost of the original Goemon called forward to possess his descendant during a scheme; the ghost maintains his more traditional Large Ham nature and appearance.

Ishikawa Goemon is a HistoricalDomainCharacter from UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}, specifically the UsefulNotes/SengokuJidai. This {{outlaw}} character is considered the Japanese equivalent of RobinHood, and his story is still featured in Kabuki Theater.

* ''Characters/LupinIII'' has [[MasterSwordsman Goemon Ishikawa XIII]], descendant of the real deal. In ''Anime/LupinIIIDragonOfDoom'', Goemon is introduced watching the 400th anniversary of the Kabuki play about his ancestor. [[ManlyTears He cries.]]

''"What a great view!''

* ''VideoGsme/PuzzleAndDragons'' has Goemon as a Descended dungeon boss, where his first move can possibly kill you in one hit. One of the later BossRush dungeons has his Ultimate form, ''where he does this before you can even attack''.

This legendary rogue is ShroudedInMyth and has become a Japanese FolkHero. He is often given exaggerated {{ninja}} skills. His attempt to assassinate UsefulNotes/ToyotomiHideyoshi have given rise to speculation for his reason (some say Hideyoshi [[ItsPersonal had his wife killed]], others that he wanted [[JusticeWillPrevail to stop a tyrant]]), but was caught when he accidentally knocked off a bell. Ishikawa was [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath boiled alive in a iron kettle]] [[KickTheDog along with his son]]. With the last of his strength, [[PapaWolf Ishikawa]] held his child out of [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/39/Excecution_of_Goemon_Ishikawa.jpg/220px-Excecution_of_Goemon_Ishikawa.jpg the kettle]] ([[ShootTheDog and afterward plunged him into it to kill him quickly]]). This story has given rise to the nickname of "Goemon bath" (goemonburo) for the large iron kettle-shaped bathtubs common in Japan.
