Encyclopedia : A : AS : ASS : Assassin (Fate/stay night)
Assassin is an anime character from the Japanese visual novel and anime series Fate/stay night by TYPE-MOON.
Clothed in a traditional Japanese umanori hakama and kimono with an indigo haori, this handsome Servant bars entry beyond the main gate of the Ryūdōji Temple. Quiet and composed, he maintains a degree of bushido and is eager to spar with other Servants. Although he has the same class, he is not to be confused with another Servant known as True Assassin.
The Seiyū for Assassin is Shinichiro Miki.

Noble Phantasm
True IdentityAssassin has no identity, though he masquerades as the mythical Japanese swordsman, Sasaki Kojirō. The historical Kojirō was trained in the Chūjō-Ryū style of fencing, and also founded Ganryū, a school of kenjutsu. His weapon, Monohoshi Zao, is a sharp-edged and heavy katana called a nodachi, measuring at over 90cm, an unusual length for such a blade.Despite renown for his nimble footwork and mastery of kendo, Kojirō is most famous for his death at the hands of Musashi Miyamoto, although such a battle is considered by historians to be fictitious. In Fate/stay night, the profile of Kojirō in the modern era is an invention, a blend of details from the lives of many nameless and forgotten historical swordsmen. Assassin, who shared simmilarities with the legend, assumed the appearance and skills of Kojirō upon his summoning. RoleHe was summoned by Caster as a guardian and watchmen for the front gate of the Ryūdō Temple. As an improper servant, Assassin is entirely dependent on Caster for mana and cannot move freely beyond the grounds of Ryūdōji. Furthermore, he lacks most of the usual parameters and abilities granted to his class. Because of his limited status, Assassin cares little for the Holy Grail, and outside of his duties to Caster, he only seeks to enjoy a decent sword fight. In Heaven's Feel, Assassin's flesh serves as Zōken Matō's catalyst for summoning True Assassin.
