Wikipedia definition
2. Ishikawa GoemonIshikawa Goemon was a semi-legendary Japanese outlaw hero who stole gold and valuables and gave them to the poor. Goemon is notable for being boiled alive along with his son in public after a failed assassination attempt on the civil war-era warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi. A large iron kettle-shaped bathtub is now called a goemonburo ("Goemon bath"). His legend continues to live on, often with greatly exaggerated ninja skills, in contemporary Japanese popular culture.
