Amakusa Shirō (天草 四郎, c. 1621? – 28 February 1638 (aged 17)), also known as Amakusa Shirō Tokisada (天草四郎時貞), often romanized as Shirou, led the Shimabara Rebellion, an uprising of Japanese Roman Catholics against the Shogunate. They were defeated, and Shirō was executed at the age of 17. His head was displayed on a pike near Nagasaki as a warning to Christians. His struggle was reflected in the 1962 movie Amakusa Shirō Tokisada (shown in English-speaking countries as The Christian Revolt or The Revolutionary), by the renowned Japanese movie director Nagisa Oshima. Since the late 20th century, he has been featured in popular culture as a character in numerous manga, anime, and video games.
