Yamabushi
(Literally: "Those who hide in the mountains") were Japanese mountain ascetics and warriors, mostly of the Shingon sect of Buddhism. For the most part solitary, they did form loose confederations, and associations with certain temples, and also participated in battles and skirmishes alongside samurai and sĹŤhei on occasion.
