Revenge of Soga Brothers
The Revenge of the Soga Brothers was a vengeance incident on 28 June 1193, during the Fuji no Makigari hunting event arranged by shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo in Fujino, Suruga Province, Japan.

It is known as one of the three major adauchi (vendetta) incidents in Japan, alongside Akō vendetta and the Igagoe vendetta. The incident is recorded in the historical chronicle Azuma Kagami and the epic tale of Soga Monogatari, and has been popularized in popular culture.
