The Ghost General, leader of the voracious Hungry Ghosts gang, can be found in the Money Changer District in the western part of Sakai, located in the southwestern part of the Izumi Settsu region. Given the numerical advantage of his followers, it's wise to pick them off one by one or leverage Yasuke’s abilities to level the playing field before confronting him.
Grave Dancer

The Grave Dancer, who leads the Defilers and has no respect for sanctity, resides near the Sumiyoshi Shrine, south of Osaka. Travel northeast from Sakai along the main road, and you'll find him desecrating the graves. Use your Hidden Blade or any preferred weapon to send him to his own grave.
Ember

After dealing with the other members, the final three Kabukimono members await. Head to the Nishinomiya Shrine west of Amagasaki Castle, where you can choose to confront them individually or all at once. Opting for the latter, travel west to Kakogawa Estuary, then northeast to Takagi Otsuka Fort, and finally east to a courtyard next to a medium-sized hut. This confrontation will be challenging, but utilize the NPCs present to distract your enemies and strike when opportunities arise. Eliminate all three to eradicate the Kabukimono threat completely.
