Also known as 'the last missionary', Giovanni Battista Sidotti lived a pretty exciting (for lack of a better word) life. Giovanni was Born in 1668, and the Italian secular priest and Apostolic missionary met his demise through not being able to stick to the rules. The naughty little scamp headed over to Japan during a time in which it was illegal to do so.
It didn't take long for the Japanese to capture him and hold him in confinement until his death in November 1714. Giovanni decided to embark on the trip that would inevitably lead to his demise after hearing tales of missionary martyrdom in Japan. Well, why not? His disguise as a Samurai warrior didn't work all too well given his Western aesthetic, so it wasn't too long before he was caught out and captured.
