&lt;br /&gt;
=== Stage 2 Boss Health Regen Bug(Courtesy of Pearl): ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hp value is a value from 0 to FFFF (more complex than this but it's for simplicity). When there's ~1030 frames left on the timer, if hp is less than C900 hp is set to C900. Later it is set to 9000 and then finally 7000&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So you use a bomb as it hits c900, then the damage you're dealing is enough to trigger the extra two hp resets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cause as long as you're under the threshold said above the hp is reset to that value, so the damage is free.&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In practice this can be consistently achieved by making sure to follow a few simple rules. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Do not kill the left pod until it returns into position.'''&lt;br /&gt;
* Control damage on each horizontal line phase.&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
# Full point blank with aura.&lt;br /&gt;
# Full point blank with aura. If bottom left wing sets on fire, you are ahead. Stop, and do less damage in a proceeding phase.&lt;br /&gt;
# Feather damage with point blank aura. You want to do as much damage as possible without finishing the boss. When all three wings are on fire is a good place to stop for safety, If boss starts flashing, you are ahead. Stop, and do less damage in the next phase.&lt;br /&gt;
# Feather damage with point blank aura. If you feel you are ahead, it's best to pull away from the boss early. When the boss clears the final wrecked ship in the background, you are safe to bomb and trigger the final two health resets. '''If you killed the left pod ''before'' it had a chance to return to its position, you will need to wait for the boss to clearly the wreckage before bombing. This means dodging the start of a horizontal line pattern before bombing.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Stage 4 &amp;amp; 5 Hex Turret Item Drops ===&lt;br /&gt;
This will eventually need to go into version differences, but for now I'll dump it here. There are two types of hex turrets in the Japan v100 roms. An orange sprite with lower HP and no item drop, and a green sprite with higher HP and a chance to drop either a power up or bomb. In the Korean v100 roms, and the world v102 roms(only other two versions I've played enough to notice a difference) all hex turrets are of the green variety. I'm unsure if they are a simple recolor or a full enemy swap. The new green hex turrets drop items unlike their jp rom counterparts, but I'm unsure if their health has been increased as well. The Japan v102 roms maintain the orange hex turrets, so this isn't a simple version difference, but perhaps a region difference?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;All this has a significant impact on high level, low-power scoring. The orange hex turrets can, and generally should be routed and used. They are prime targets for both point blanking(combo building) and bomb recharging(Energy Mode).  In versions with the orange hex turrets replaced by the green ones, routing these sections becomes more difficult and the player has to choose if they should take advantage of the turret at the risk of releasing an unwanted power-up item.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

'''DoDonPachi II: Bee Storm'''  is the third entry in the [[:Category:DonPachi series|''DonPachi'' series]] of shoot-em-ups, and the only title in the series not developed by [[CAVE]]. It was developed and released by International Game System([[IGS]]) after obtaining a license to produce a new DoDonPachi game on PGM hardware. DoDonpachi II: Bee Storm was originally sold in Asian markets, like China and Korea, before being released in Japan in 2001.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This game deviates from the rest of the [[:Category:DonPachi series|''DonPachi'' series]] in a number of ways. There are changes to the combo system, ships/shot types, bomb mechanics, and scoring not found anywhere else in the series. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The success of DoDonPachi II: Bee Storm convinced [[CAVE]], whom at the time was considering leaving the arcade business, to re-enter the arcade market. [[CAVE]] would go on to release the fourth entry in the [[:Category:DonPachi series|''DonPachi'' series]], ''[[DoDonPachi DaiOuJou]]'', one year later.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://gaming.moe/?p=757 Interview: Cave’s Tsuneki Ikeda (IKD) from 2010]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Characters / Ships / Styles &amp;lt;ref name='igs_site' /&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
There are three ship types available in DoDonPachi II: Bee Storm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;text-align: center&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
! Ship !! Shot Coverage !! Speed !! Laser Width !! Laser Activation !! Difficulty&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ship Types===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Bomb Type:''' Normal [[DoDonPachi]] style spread bomb. Converts all bullets onscreen into point items, damages enemies, and makes the player invulnerable for a short period of time.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Energy Type:''' The Energy Type is similar to [[DoDonPachi]]'s laser bomb. It uses an energy meter instead of bomb stock and can only be fired when the meter is fully charged. The meter is replenished by grazing enemy bullets. The same bullet can be grazed multiple times. The meter can be refilled during a use of an Energy Bomb. If enough bullets are grazed, another bomb will be fully charged after exiting the bomb animation. All Bomb Items are considered excess when playing as Energy Type, and will award the standard 50,000 points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Items &amp;lt;ref name='gaming101_guide'&amp;gt;[http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/dodonpachi-ii-beestorm/ hardcoregaming101 Bee Storm Guide]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[File:DDP2_BOMB.gif|80px]]|| '''Bomb''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Adds a bomb. Initial stock varies by game revision or region{{unconfirmed}}. Max stock is five. Always awards 50,000 points.{{unconfirmed}}&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[File:DDP2_SMALL_HIVE.gif|40px]]|| '''Small Beehive Badge''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Generally, dropped from small enemies and canceled bullets. Awards 2,000 points.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[File:DDP2_MED_HIVE.gif|60px]]|| '''Medium Beehive Badge''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Generally, dropped from medium enemies. Awards 10,000 points.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[File:DDP2_LARGE_HIVE.gif|80px]]|| '''Large Beehive Badge''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Usually found by bombing certain areas of a stage, or destroying a part of a boss. Awards 100,000 points.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[File:DDP2_BEE.gif|80px]]|| '''Bee''' &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Created from canceled enemy bullets when using Bomb Type. Also, triggered by performing certain actions in-game. Awards 20,000 points.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Scoring ===&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
Taken verbatim from Pearl's Bee Storm TAS video description, available on youtube.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;So some scoring info : &lt;br /&gt;
Graze gives 10,000 points per graze, Aura hits give 10,000 points per hit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chaining is very different here compared to DDP, Your chain bleeds if it drops rather than going to 0 similarly to DFK if you dont have a hyper in stock.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{unconfirmed}}Your chain increases weirdly as well; your shot gives a hit per shot hit? damage dealt? It's hard to tell and it feels like you're limited by the amount of hits you can get regardless of how many things you're hitting with your shot.{{unconfirmed}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laser aura gives far more hits and does less damage per hit given (155 damage compared to ~300 from afar); it's best used in a big clump of enemies and large enemies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your chain gauge is also backwards from DDP; killing with laser gives a lot more gauge than shot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hits themselves are the score this time around, it's HIT x 10 points per hit. so at 9,999 hits you get 99,990 points per hit. On bosses, certain phases are what I call &amp;quot;frenzy&amp;quot; phases, and you're awarded multiple hits per hit tic. Upwards of 10 per hit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In these cases, assuming these hits are done with aura, the score calculation is (HIT x 10 + 10000) x HitPerTic. So at 10 hits per tic at max combo, you get 1.3 million points per 155 damage dealt.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRsUY7EADbU&amp;amp;t=672s (TAS) DoDonPachi II ~ Bee Storm - 9,409,191,580 Points by Pearl]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The easiest way to score is to go through each stage trying to get a very high combo multiplier, and then scratching the boss with the Laser’s Aura for huge score bonuses.&amp;lt;ref name='gaming101_guide' /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Scratch Bombing ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;youtube&amp;gt;CD7G7NBJdt4&amp;lt;/youtube&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another key technique in scoring, and even survival, is to build up another Energy bar while simultaneously using a Laser Bomb. During a Laser Bomb, coming into contact with a bullet will cancel it, both due to the Laser Bomb itself, and the invulnerability of bombing, but, if a player approaches at the right angles, they can register a scrape against the bullets before they are canceled. The game continues to register these scratches, and once the Laser Bomb has finished, will properly add them to the energy bar, meaning that it is possible to “stock” another Laser Bomb while one is being fired. Because of the large amount of hits the Laser Bomb can generate in a very short amount of time, this is a crucial technique for building large chains to “cash in” during the boss battles.&amp;lt;ref name='gaming101_guide' /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Strategy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style='text-align: center;'&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
''See [[DoDonPachi II: Bee Storm/Strategy]] for '''stage maps''', '''enemy and boss descriptions''', '''walkthroughs''', and '''advanced play strategies'''.''&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
=== Secrets ===&lt;br /&gt;
Bee Storm is full of little secrets that can be worth a good amount of points. For example, destroying the four bee enemies before Taisabachi in the first stage will cause the boss to spew out bee icons every time it’s hit. Combined with the ability to destroy bits and pieces of the boss (in this case its wings), players can milk out a good five or six hundred thousand points just from the bee icons (in addition to scratching the bullets for 10,000 points each). Destroying the individual parts of a boss will not only add a set amount to the player’s score, but will also convert all bullets on the screen into different sizes of beehive badges (it depends on the boss and part destroyed). Destroying all parts of a boss may also cause “B” or “P” items to spawn as well, so it’s very beneficial to dismantle each boss piece by piece. If playing as a Bomb type, even more secrets can be uncovered. Bombing in certain areas can cause a fountain of golden bees to pour out, and bombing again will turn those 20,000 point bee icons into 100,000 point beehive items. Additionally, certain enemies will turn all onscreen bullets into small beehive badges when destroyed, and is best to destroy them when the screen is full of bullets to maximize the number badges it creates.&amp;lt;ref name='gaming101_guide' /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Extends ===&lt;br /&gt;
There is a hidden extend available on stage four. It can be accessed by, first, destroying each of the first series of fence posts encountered. Destruction of the actual fence sections are not required to trigger the extend, only the posts. Then, you must destroy the spider encountered shortly after. It is hidden behind a wall and will drop the games only extend. There are no scoring extends.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBDDHH1YDrY DoDonPachi II Bee Storm - Secret 1UP and Partial Fence Destruction by M.Knight]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== True last stage &amp;amp; TLB ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The true last stage and the TLB (Unknown) are accessible after finishing the sixth stage, if the player gets at least 400,000,000 points. This value can be changed in the PGM settings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Story ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Stage 1: Waking of Insects&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;igs_site&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20161021122143/http://www.igs.com.tw:80/chinese/product/bee/ Archived IGS website from October 21, 2016]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;昆蟲自睡眠中醒來。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
引申為首領蜂自上次的戰敗後，再度重生。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
新型戰機完成，為測試新兵器的性能，我們&lt;br /&gt;
以電腦模擬出敵軍最強大的鬼畜兵器，展開&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
模擬作戰任務。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

怒首領蜂的最後魔王，敵軍最強大的&lt;br /&gt;
惡夢兵器&lt;br /&gt;

淨化：擊破首領蜂，將此空間淨化。&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Insects waking up from sleep.&lt;br /&gt;
This means that the Leader Bee has been reborn after its last defeat. The new fighter jet was completed. In order to test the performance of the new weapon, we used computers to simulate the enemy's most powerful weapon and launched simulated combat missions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Leader Bee] Nightmare:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The last demon king of the angry leader bee, the enemy's most powerful nightmare weapon.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Stage 2: Attack &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;igs_site&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;完成準備，展開作戰。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
完成測試之後，雷達發現敵軍迅速的在包圍&lt;br /&gt;
我方的秘密基地，正在進行攻擊前的準備，&lt;br /&gt;
我們需在敵軍的包圍網尚未形成之前，快速&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[Patrolling Worker Bee] Trembling: &lt;br /&gt;

=== Stage 3: Soar &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;igs_site&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;高空作戰，如大空之鷹般，對敵人展開無情&lt;br /&gt;
的獵食。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
在緊急出擊完成之後，緊接著面對的是敵軍&lt;br /&gt;
的空中主力艦隊，欲生存下來的路只有一條&lt;br /&gt;
，就是作戰、勝利。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
【六角蜂巢】 天羅：&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Fight at high altitude, like an eagle in the ky, ruthlessly hunting the enemy. After the emergency sortie is completed, the enemy's main air fleet is faced immediately. There is only one way to survive, which is to fight and win.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;侵入敵軍根據地外圍都市。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
逃避無法解決問題，了解到這一點的我們，&lt;br /&gt;
決定主動出擊，來到了敵軍集結的都市外圍&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The invasion of a city on the outskirts of an enemy stronghold. The problem cannot be solved by escaping. Knowing this, we decide to take the initiative and arrived at the outskirts of the city where the enemy troops were gathered. The defensive force was like a copper wall. Only by causing a commotion from the outside and drawing all the garrison troops out of the base could we have a chance to invade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Killing Bee] Ground Net:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It specializes in laying net-like traps to kill our troops, and when it is caught in an unfavorable situation, it will fall into a state of madness and attack wildly.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;解放被敵軍控制的生物兵器。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
在進入基地之前，唯有先將敵人的軍隊生產&lt;br /&gt;
設備無力化，才有勝利的希望，抱持著這種&lt;br /&gt;
想法，我們潛入到敵軍的工廠中，展開無情&lt;br /&gt;
的破壞，在此我們得知了令人震驚的事實，&lt;br /&gt;
所有的機械化部隊，皆是由地球上的生物改&lt;br /&gt;
造而來，無辜的生命被改造成殺戮的工具，&lt;br /&gt;
聽見他們來自靈魂深處的哀嚎，令我們感到&lt;br /&gt;
十分的痛心，讓我們以破壞的紅連之焰，解&lt;br /&gt;
放這些被禁錮的靈魂吧！&lt;br /&gt;

解放：解放遭敵軍控制的生物&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Free the enemy's bioweapons.&lt;br /&gt;
Before entering the base, the only way to win is to disable the enemy's production equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
With this in mind, we infiltrated the enemy's factories and carried out relentless sabotage, where we learned the shocking truth.&lt;br /&gt;
All the mechanized troops are made from earthly creatures, innocent beings transformed into killing machines.&lt;br /&gt;
Hearing their wails from the depths of their souls is very saddening.&lt;br /&gt;
Let us use the destructive Flame of the Red Company to free these imprisoned souls!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The prelude to the end of the war, defeat the enemy leader. When we come to the interior of the base, all the enemy elites have gathered here. We, who have fight so hard, are not easy to mess with. Let's move forward! The peace of the earth is in our hands.&lt;br /&gt;

The apparent leader of the enemy army, super artificial intelligence, controlling all the enemy's actions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Defeat: Defeat the enemy's leader.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Stage 7: The Truth  &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;igs_site&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;戰爭的罪魁禍首，敵軍真正的首腦。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
結束了嗎？將首腦擊敗的我們心中，充滿著&lt;br /&gt;
疑惑。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
是否還有更強大的邪惡意志，潛藏在真相之&lt;br /&gt;
後。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
【未知秘蜂】 陰霾：&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
敵軍真正的首腦，在暗地裡聚集能量，等待&lt;br /&gt;
進化的時刻。當其由幼蟲進化為完全體時，&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
終結：終結戰爭&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The culprit of the war and the real leader of the enemy. Is it over? After defeating the leader, we are filled with doubts. Is there a more powerful evil will hidden behind the truth?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The real leader of the enemy is gathering energy in the dark, waiting for the moment of evolution. When it evolves from a larva to its full form, mankind will fall into the greatest catastrophe in history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Development History ==&lt;br /&gt;
If available, you can include information here about the hardware, the development of the game, and its general reception. ''Try to have as much information in this section cited as possible.''&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Version Differences ==&lt;br /&gt;
DoDonPachi II: Bee Storm has three revisions and six region variants:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Revisions ===&lt;br /&gt;
# ver. 100&lt;br /&gt;
# ver. 101&lt;br /&gt;
# ver. 102&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are a number of minor differences between ver. 100 and ver. 102. They include recolored sprites, slightly different enemy spawns, and minor graphical changes.{{unconfirmed}} Some of these changes are only present in a specific region ''and'' revision. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also one major change in game play. Ver. 102 adds an extra action button, turning the game into a four-button shooter. The extra action is assigned to both &amp;quot;Start&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Button 4&amp;quot;. It allows the player to cycle through the option formations available to the other two ships. The order that the options cycle through are Type-A -&amp;gt; Type-B -&amp;gt; Type-C, and start on the player’s initial ship choice.{{unconfirmed}}Ver. 101 specific changes are not known at this time.{{unconfirmed}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Regions ===&lt;br /&gt;
# China&lt;br /&gt;
# Taiwan&lt;br /&gt;
# Korea&lt;br /&gt;
# World&lt;br /&gt;
# Hong Kong&lt;br /&gt;
# Japan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DoDonPachi II: Bee Storm supports four languages: Japanese, Chinese, English and Korean. The interface language depends on the protection chip inside the game cartridge, which provides region information. In addition, the game's title, stage names and boss names are also altered depending on the region.{{unconfirmed}}&lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* The stage 0 Boss (Nightmare) is highly based on Hachi from DoDonPachi 1997, as well the bosses Deep-Fear (Suzaku), Dragnet (Kakou) and Snare (Raikou).&lt;br /&gt;
*Altho the announcer voice lines are from DoDonPachi 1997, the &amp;quot;Ready?&amp;quot; voice line is exclusive to this game.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;div align=&amp;quot;center&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[(Template Page)|''Click here to return to the ''(Template Page)''''' information overview'''''  page]].&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style='text-align: center;'&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
''See [[(Template Page)/Strategy (Scoring)]] for routing and techniques that are primarily focused on '''achieving high scores.'''''&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style='text-align: center;'&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
''See [[(Template Page)/Strategy (Survival)]] for optimized safe routes, speed-kill strategies, and helpful information that prioritizes '''clearing the game''' over scoring high.''&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These ''two sections above'' only need to be included if the game in question has vastly different routes between '''playing for score''' and '''playing for survival'''. If there is not a major difference in routing, then scoring and survival strategies will just be included in the stage/checkpoint that it refers to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Weapon Tier List ==&lt;br /&gt;
This is a section that doesn't necessarily need to be included, depending on the game in question. This section should be used to list out all strengths and weaknesses with the weapons in the game, and to sort of evaluate their general strength and usefulness. Ideally, every weapon should include a positive &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#009449&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''( + )'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; and a negative &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#F53D65&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''( - )'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
'''(X) Tier: &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:blue&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Weapon Name&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;'''&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#1C7BFD&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''( ~ )'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; Unique element of the weapon, nothing necessarily &amp;quot;better&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;worse&amp;quot; than any other weapon&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#009449&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''( + )'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; A positive aspect of the weapon that it does well, such as high damage, high refire, homing, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#F53D65&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''( - )'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; A negative aspect of the weapon, such as poor refire, low damage, weak homing, and the like.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
== Basic Strategy ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Include some good &amp;quot;starter advice&amp;quot; for a player interested in playing this game. &lt;br /&gt;
* It's probably not a bad idea to explain good &amp;quot;times&amp;quot; to take advantage of certain mechanics (such as, &amp;quot;leave lots of bullets on screen and then do a big cancel for big points&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
* Let the player know of some techniques in shmups that the player might have to apply, such as macro-dodging / micro/tap-dodging, how to maximize damage, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
== Advanced Strategy ==&lt;br /&gt;
* This section would contain particularly advanced gameplay techniques and more scoring information.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ideally, this is information that you probably wouldn't tell someone who just picked up the game. Players looking at this section are typically aiming to reach the next level of play.&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
== Enemy Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
In this section, detailed information (if available) about all enemies, mid-bosses and bosses would be included on this page. Each enemy would be accompanied with a graphic, a score value (if available), and description of its behavior. For bonus points, include some clickable diagrams that showcase the behavior of the enemy! ''&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;For games that have disassemblies and debug modes available, this would potentially be an interesting way to isolate enemy behavior and really show how it works!&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;''&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Under Constructions ==&lt;br /&gt;
'''For now I will be dumping random Bee Storm information here so it exist somewhere.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Stage 2 Boss Health Regen Bug(Courtesy of Pearl): ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hp value is a value from 0 to FFFF (more complex than this but it's for simplicity). When there's ~1030 frames left on the timer, if hp is less than C900 hp is set to C900. Later it is set to 9000 and then finally 7000&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So you use a bomb as it hits c900, then the damage you're dealing is enough to trigger the extra two hp resets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cause as long as you're under the threshold said above the hp is reset to that value, so the damage is free.&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In practice this can be somewhat consistently achieved by using an energy bomb at the moment the boss sends his final horizontal line attack, and then point blanking the boss until you are able to return to the top left safe spot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Stage 4 &amp;amp; 5 Hex Turret Item Drops ===&lt;br /&gt;
This will eventually need to go into version differences, but for now I'll dump it here. There are two types of hex turrets in the Japan v100 roms. An orange sprite with lower HP and no item drop, and a green sprite with higher HP and a chance to drop either a power up or bomb. In the Korean v100 roms, and the world v102 roms(only other two versions I've played enough to notice a difference) all hex turrets are of the green variety. I'm unsure if they are a simple recolor or a full enemy swap. The new green hex turrets drop items unlike their jp rom counterparts, but I'm unsure if their health has been increased as well. The Japan v102 roms maintain the orange hex turrets, so this isn't a simple version difference, but perhaps a region difference?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;All this has a significant impact on high level, low-power scoring. The orange hex turrets can, and generally should be routed and used. They are prime targets for both point blanking(combo building) and bomb recharging(Energy Mode).  In versions with the orange hex turrets replaced by the green ones, routing these sections becomes more difficult and the player has to choose if they should take advantage of the turret at the risk of releasing an unwanted power-up item.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

The eldest son of Kuki Yoshitaka, he is a true seaman, born and raised on the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
To him, the sea is an endless longing, the flag a marker for where he will die, and the ship an unrestrained soul.&lt;br /&gt;
Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;
As we'll see later, the drastic change in his facial structure... it's unclear whether it's genetic or whether he ate the evil fruit series.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 46&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nicknamed &amp;quot;Saru,&amp;quot; he was born to Kinoshita Yaemon, a foot soldier under Oda Nobuhide, and Naka, a farmer's daughter. He met Nobunaga at the age of 18 and began serving him as a minor, performing odd jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
His charm and drive steadily led him up the ranks, and nine years ago, when he first became the lord of a castle and province, he took the name &amp;quot;Hashiba,&amp;quot; taking one character from each of the surnames of his superiors, Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie.&lt;br /&gt;
However, five years earlier, he had provoked a fight with his superior, Katsuie, disguised as a tactical disagreement, and left the battlefield without permission. While he now ranks alongside his senior vassals, this was because he had hoped for even greater advancement. Then, when Matsunaga Hisahide rebelled, he successfully suppressed it, successfully securing the position of supreme commander in the Chugoku region.&lt;br /&gt;
With his devilishly quick mind, charming expressions and eloquence, and the drive to act without wasting a moment, he aims to become No. 2 to his beloved Nobunaga!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Katsuramatsu, later Kinosuke. He was the son of Otani Moriharu, a vassal of Otomo Sorin.&lt;br /&gt;
He left the Otomo clan with his father and after a period of wandering, began serving Hideyoshi as a page at the age of 16, where his keen talent was quickly recognized and he gained Hideyoshi's trust. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
because he was also a member of Hideyoshi's pages, he looked after Fukushima Masanori and Ishida Mitsunari well, and was very popular with them. He&lt;br /&gt;
was skilled in domestic affairs, but also showed great talent in military affairs, making him a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;

His childhood name was Ichimatsu, and he was known from an early age for his extraordinary strength.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 18, he participated in the invasion of Chugoku, demonstrating his fierce fighting spirit and competing for success with Kiyomasa, who was like a brother to him.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a brave and courageous man on the battlefield, straightforward and straightforward in nature, and also kind-hearted and easily moved to tears - the epitome of a strong and upright warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of Hideyoshi's retainers... a sort of gang leader, and would often tease and play around with Ishida Mitsunari, who was a former monk and weak in strength... although he apparently meant no harm...&lt;br /&gt;

A large, young man with exceptional martial prowess and a keen sense of learning,&lt;br /&gt;
he admires Hideyoshi and his military strategist, Kanbei, and hopes to be able to assist them as a spearman.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to his efforts, he has been particularly successful recently, achieving great success as a lookout (scout) in the capture of Tottori Castle and being the first to land a spear in the attack on Bitchu Kanmuriyama Castle, earning him the envious gazes of his retainers, including Fukushima Masanori.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was originally a powerful clan leader in the Hachisuka district of Owari and the leader of a group of mercenaries known as the &amp;quot;Hachisuka Clan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's right-hand man, and had been infatuated with Nobunaga since the days of Tokichiro, demonstrating his skill as one of his advisors. On the other hand, he was cold towards Nobunaga, describing him as &amp;quot;a fierce general, but not a good one.&amp;quot; This is probably why, despite being a yoriki, he essentially worked under Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;
From his appearance, he may be thought of as a ronin, but in reality he was a brave, tactical and practical military commander, and he paid close attention to the city government within his territory. Nicknamed &amp;quot;the six-year-old man,&amp;quot; he was trusted by many of Hideyoshi's soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuroda Kanbei, he had just made his debut at the siege of Kanmuriyama Castle in Bitchu. He was praised for his wisdom and bravery, and for having the potential to&lt;br /&gt;
become a great general. During Araki Murashige's rebellion, Nobunaga saw his father's imprisonment as a betrayal and nearly killed him, but he escaped danger thanks to Takenaka Hanbei.&lt;br /&gt;
After Hanbei's death, Nagamasa came to admire the late Hanbei more than his father Kanbei, whose ambitions gradually became more apparent...&lt;br /&gt;
Among his fellow warlords, he was particularly close with Hosokawa Tadaoki...&lt;br /&gt;

He was Hideyoshi's trusted adviser, known as &amp;quot;the greatest military strategist of all time.&amp;quot; His real name was Takataka.&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up to Takenaka Hanbei, now known as Komei, as his mentor, and learned from him his honesty and his versatile military strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when he went to Arioka Castle to persuade Araki Murashige to put an end to his rebellion, he was instead thrown into prison.&lt;br /&gt;
After nearly a year of imprisonment before being rescued, his legs became lame, and his great mentor Hanbei died of illness in the camp...&lt;br /&gt;
After much anguish... Kanbei began to raise his ambition to rule the world with his combined wisdom and strategy... What did he think of Mitsuhide's rebellion?!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He is a feared ruler of the Warring States period known as the &amp;quot;Sixth Heavenly Demon King,&amp;quot; but deep in his heart he harbors a warm and abundant love.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he compares himself to Cao Cao and calls himself a &amp;quot;hero of turbulent times,&amp;quot; and chooses to walk a thorny path.&lt;br /&gt;
In his youth, he lulled those around him into a false sense of security by pretending to be &amp;quot;foolish,&amp;quot; and after inheriting the family headship, he&lt;br /&gt;
quickly unified Owari. From then on, he brought the turbulent times to an end with his precise and bold strategy, his brave and courageous military tactics, and his hidden &amp;quot;great power.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
With the long-awaited peace in sight, he secretly worries about sealing away his own talents, which could turn him into a wicked minister...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a woman, Ujisato was adopted by Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;son-in-law&amp;quot; through political means.&lt;br /&gt;
Although her &amp;quot;womanhood&amp;quot; soon became public knowledge after her adoption, Ujisato's courage and intelligence made her very beloved by Nobunaga and his vassals, and she continued to be treated the same as a member of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She was a person of exceptional beauty, excelling in both literature and martial arts, and admired Nobunaga, who treated her as a son-in-law, calling him a &amp;quot;supple beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
She was a good friend and quarrelsome friend of Hori Hidemasa, who did not let Nobunaga be conscious of her being a woman.&lt;br /&gt;

When his master's family was destroyed and Nobunaga came to Kyoto, he was the first to offer his daughter as a hostage to Nobunaga in an attempt to make peace.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when his daughter (later Ujisato) said, &amp;quot;As a son, I would like to be married by Lord Nobunaga,&amp;quot; he risked the destruction of his clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Nobunaga took a great liking to Ujisato, and he won the political battle.&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that when Ujisato &amp;quot;married into his family,&amp;quot; he entered the castle without any shame, and Nobunaga greeted him with a loud laugh.&lt;br /&gt;

The second son of the Mori family, both brothers were expected to have bright futures.&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a page to Nobunaga along with his younger brothers, Bomaru and Chikaramaru, but Nobunaga especially loved Ranmaru's intelligence and made him his chief page.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga loved him and called him &amp;quot;O-Ran,&amp;quot; but because he always reads and acts one step ahead of Nobunaga's thoughts, he was often viewed&lt;br /&gt;
with suspicion by those around him. However, he admired Mitsuhide's knowledge and dignity, and secretly respected him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander who fell in love with Hideyoshi's charm and swore to become his brother.&lt;br /&gt;
(In reality, Hideyoshi had simply persuaded him, but he himself is unaware of this.)&lt;br /&gt;
He is younger than Hideyoshi, but as a long-time retainer of the Oda clan, he has a big attitude. He&lt;br /&gt;
is currently a central figure in the Ikeda clan, working under Tsuneoki, and is a pure warrior who charges into battle before anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
He seems to be drinking buddies with Maeda Keiji, and the two are often seen drinking together and chatting about spear fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
23 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsuneoki's second son, he is a military commander who inherited his father's bravery. His trademark is his tobacco pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager, he had no intention of inheriting the family estate, so he wandered aimlessly around the country.&lt;br /&gt;
He met people like Todo Takatora during his travels, and the two deepened their friendship, calling each other &amp;quot;mountain bandits&amp;quot; in contrast to Takatora's &amp;quot;pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps thanks to his travels around the country, he, like Takatora, was a warrior skilled in both the arts and martial arts, and also skilled in governing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
47 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of Nobunaga's wet nurse, he is also Nobunaga's foster brother, and has served by his side since before Nobunaga was called a &amp;quot;fool.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was young, he has always had scars from protecting Nobunaga with his own body when he was in danger, but he is proud of each scar as proof of his loyalty. He&lt;br /&gt;
is usually quiet, but when it matters most, Tsuneoki's honest words carry weight.&lt;br /&gt;
With his daughter Sen married Mori Nagayoshi, he serves as the guardian of the Mori family, looking after the Mori brothers both in the shadows and in the public eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a veteran retainer of the Oda clan, and is known as &amp;quot;Sumi&amp;quot; Katsusaburo, and is a match for Niwa &amp;quot;Yone&amp;quot; Goroza.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

To him, the sea is an endless longing, the flag a marker for where he will die, and the ship an unrestrained soul.&lt;br /&gt;
Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;
As we'll see later, the drastic change in his facial structure... it's unclear whether it's genetic or whether he ate the evil fruit series.&lt;br /&gt;

41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

Nicknamed &amp;quot;Saru,&amp;quot; he was born to Kinoshita Yaemon, a foot soldier under Oda Nobuhide, and Naka, a farmer's daughter. He met Nobunaga at the age of 18 and began serving him as a minor, performing odd jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
His charm and drive steadily led him up the ranks, and nine years ago, when he first became the lord of a castle and province, he took the name &amp;quot;Hashiba,&amp;quot; taking one character from each of the surnames of his superiors, Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie.&lt;br /&gt;
However, five years earlier, he had provoked a fight with his superior, Katsuie, disguised as a tactical disagreement, and left the battlefield without permission. While he now ranks alongside his senior vassals, this was because he had hoped for even greater advancement. Then, when Matsunaga Hisahide rebelled, he successfully suppressed it, successfully securing the position of supreme commander in the Chugoku region.&lt;br /&gt;
With his devilishly quick mind, charming expressions and eloquence, and the drive to act without wasting a moment, he aims to become No. 2 to his beloved Nobunaga!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Katsuramatsu, later Kinosuke. He was the son of Otani Moriharu, a vassal of Otomo Sorin.&lt;br /&gt;
He left the Otomo clan with his father and after a period of wandering, began serving Hideyoshi as a page at the age of 16, where his keen talent was quickly recognized and he gained Hideyoshi's trust. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
because he was also a member of Hideyoshi's pages, he looked after Fukushima Masanori and Ishida Mitsunari well, and was very popular with them. He&lt;br /&gt;
was skilled in domestic affairs, but also showed great talent in military affairs, making him a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;

At the age of 18, he participated in the invasion of Chugoku, demonstrating his fierce fighting spirit and competing for success with Kiyomasa, who was like a brother to him.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a brave and courageous man on the battlefield, straightforward and straightforward in nature, and also kind-hearted and easily moved to tears - the epitome of a strong and upright warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of Hideyoshi's retainers... a sort of gang leader, and would often tease and play around with Ishida Mitsunari, who was a former monk and weak in strength... although he apparently meant no harm...&lt;br /&gt;

A large, young man with exceptional martial prowess and a keen sense of learning,&lt;br /&gt;
he admires Hideyoshi and his military strategist, Kanbei, and hopes to be able to assist them as a spearman.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to his efforts, he has been particularly successful recently, achieving great success as a lookout (scout) in the capture of Tottori Castle and being the first to land a spear in the attack on Bitchu Kanmuriyama Castle, earning him the envious gazes of his retainers, including Fukushima Masanori.&lt;br /&gt;

He was originally a powerful clan leader in the Hachisuka district of Owari and the leader of a group of mercenaries known as the &amp;quot;Hachisuka Clan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's right-hand man, and had been infatuated with Nobunaga since the days of Tokichiro, demonstrating his skill as one of his advisors. On the other hand, he was cold towards Nobunaga, describing him as &amp;quot;a fierce general, but not a good one.&amp;quot; This is probably why, despite being a yoriki, he essentially worked under Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;
From his appearance, he may be thought of as a ronin, but in reality he was a brave, tactical and practical military commander, and he paid close attention to the city government within his territory. Nicknamed &amp;quot;the six-year-old man,&amp;quot; he was trusted by many of Hideyoshi's soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuroda Kanbei, he had just made his debut at the siege of Kanmuriyama Castle in Bitchu. He was praised for his wisdom and bravery, and for having the potential to&lt;br /&gt;
become a great general. During Araki Murashige's rebellion, Nobunaga saw his father's imprisonment as a betrayal and nearly killed him, but he escaped danger thanks to Takenaka Hanbei.&lt;br /&gt;
After Hanbei's death, Nagamasa came to admire the late Hanbei more than his father Kanbei, whose ambitions gradually became more apparent...&lt;br /&gt;
Among his fellow warlords, he was particularly close with Hosokawa Tadaoki...&lt;br /&gt;

He was Hideyoshi's trusted adviser, known as &amp;quot;the greatest military strategist of all time.&amp;quot; His real name was Takataka.&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up to Takenaka Hanbei, now known as Komei, as his mentor, and learned from him his honesty and his versatile military strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when he went to Arioka Castle to persuade Araki Murashige to put an end to his rebellion, he was instead thrown into prison.&lt;br /&gt;
After nearly a year of imprisonment before being rescued, his legs became lame, and his great mentor Hanbei died of illness in the camp...&lt;br /&gt;
After much anguish... Kanbei began to raise his ambition to rule the world with his combined wisdom and strategy... What did he think of Mitsuhide's rebellion?!&lt;br /&gt;

However, he compares himself to Cao Cao and calls himself a &amp;quot;hero of turbulent times,&amp;quot; and chooses to walk a thorny path.&lt;br /&gt;
In his youth, he lulled those around him into a false sense of security by pretending to be &amp;quot;foolish,&amp;quot; and after inheriting the family headship, he&lt;br /&gt;
quickly unified Owari. From then on, he brought the turbulent times to an end with his precise and bold strategy, his brave and courageous military tactics, and his hidden &amp;quot;great power.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
With the long-awaited peace in sight, he secretly worries about sealing away his own talents, which could turn him into a wicked minister...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who will bring an end to the war?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a woman, Ujisato was adopted by Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;son-in-law&amp;quot; through political means.&lt;br /&gt;
Although her &amp;quot;womanhood&amp;quot; soon became public knowledge after her adoption, Ujisato's courage and intelligence made her very beloved by Nobunaga and his vassals, and she continued to be treated the same as a member of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She was a person of exceptional beauty, excelling in both literature and martial arts, and admired Nobunaga, who treated her as a son-in-law, calling him a &amp;quot;supple beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
She was a good friend and quarrelsome friend of Hori Hidemasa, who did not let Nobunaga be conscious of her being a woman.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was a wise general who was praised as the pillar of the Rokkaku clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When his master's family was destroyed and Nobunaga came to Kyoto, he was the first to offer his daughter as a hostage to Nobunaga in an attempt to make peace.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when his daughter (later Ujisato) said, &amp;quot;As a son, I would like to be married by Lord Nobunaga,&amp;quot; he risked the destruction of his clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Nobunaga took a great liking to Ujisato, and he won the political battle.&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that when Ujisato &amp;quot;married into his family,&amp;quot; he entered the castle without any shame, and Nobunaga greeted him with a loud laugh.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
18 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second son of the Mori family, both brothers were expected to have bright futures.&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a page to Nobunaga along with his younger brothers, Bomaru and Chikaramaru, but Nobunaga especially loved Ranmaru's intelligence and made him his chief page.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga loved him and called him &amp;quot;O-Ran,&amp;quot; but because he always reads and acts one step ahead of Nobunaga's thoughts, he was often viewed&lt;br /&gt;
with suspicion by those around him. However, he admired Mitsuhide's knowledge and dignity, and secretly respected him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander who fell in love with Hideyoshi's charm and swore to become his brother.&lt;br /&gt;
(In reality, Hideyoshi had simply persuaded him, but he himself is unaware of this.)&lt;br /&gt;
He is younger than Hideyoshi, but as a long-time retainer of the Oda clan, he has a big attitude. He&lt;br /&gt;
is currently a central figure in the Ikeda clan, working under Tsuneoki, and is a pure warrior who charges into battle before anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
He seems to be drinking buddies with Maeda Keiji, and the two are often seen drinking together and chatting about spear fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
23 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsuneoki's second son, he is a military commander who inherited his father's bravery. His trademark is his tobacco pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager, he had no intention of inheriting the family estate, so he wandered aimlessly around the country.&lt;br /&gt;
He met people like Todo Takatora during his travels, and the two deepened their friendship, calling each other &amp;quot;mountain bandits&amp;quot; in contrast to Takatora's &amp;quot;pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps thanks to his travels around the country, he, like Takatora, was a warrior skilled in both the arts and martial arts, and also skilled in governing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
47 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of Nobunaga's wet nurse, he is also Nobunaga's foster brother, and has served by his side since before Nobunaga was called a &amp;quot;fool.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was young, he has always had scars from protecting Nobunaga with his own body when he was in danger, but he is proud of each scar as proof of his loyalty. He&lt;br /&gt;
is usually quiet, but when it matters most, Tsuneoki's honest words carry weight.&lt;br /&gt;
With his daughter Sen married Mori Nagayoshi, he serves as the guardian of the Mori family, looking after the Mori brothers both in the shadows and in the public eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a veteran retainer of the Oda clan, and is known as &amp;quot;Sumi&amp;quot; Katsusaburo, and is a match for Niwa &amp;quot;Yone&amp;quot; Goroza.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
48 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuki Yoshitaka, he is a true seaman, born and raised on the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
To him, the sea is an endless longing, the flag a marker for where he will die, and the ship an unrestrained soul.&lt;br /&gt;
Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;
As we'll see later, the drastic change in his facial structure... it's unclear whether it's genetic or whether he ate the evil fruit series.&lt;br /&gt;

41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 46&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nicknamed &amp;quot;Saru,&amp;quot; he was born to Kinoshita Yaemon, a foot soldier under Oda Nobuhide, and Naka, a farmer's daughter. He met Nobunaga at the age of 18 and began serving him as a minor, performing odd jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
His charm and drive steadily led him up the ranks, and nine years ago, when he first became the lord of a castle and province, he took the name &amp;quot;Hashiba,&amp;quot; taking one character from each of the surnames of his superiors, Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie.&lt;br /&gt;
However, five years earlier, he had provoked a fight with his superior, Katsuie, disguised as a tactical disagreement, and left the battlefield without permission. While he now ranks alongside his senior vassals, this was because he had hoped for even greater advancement. Then, when Matsunaga Hisahide rebelled, he successfully suppressed it, successfully securing the position of supreme commander in the Chugoku region.&lt;br /&gt;
With his devilishly quick mind, charming expressions and eloquence, and the drive to act without wasting a moment, he aims to become No. 2 to his beloved Nobunaga!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
24 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Katsuramatsu, later Kinosuke. He was the son of Otani Moriharu, a vassal of Otomo Sorin.&lt;br /&gt;
He left the Otomo clan with his father and after a period of wandering, began serving Hideyoshi as a page at the age of 16, where his keen talent was quickly recognized and he gained Hideyoshi's trust. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
because he was also a member of Hideyoshi's pages, he looked after Fukushima Masanori and Ishida Mitsunari well, and was very popular with them. He&lt;br /&gt;
was skilled in domestic affairs, but also showed great talent in military affairs, making him a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;

At the age of 18, he participated in the invasion of Chugoku, demonstrating his fierce fighting spirit and competing for success with Kiyomasa, who was like a brother to him.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a brave and courageous man on the battlefield, straightforward and straightforward in nature, and also kind-hearted and easily moved to tears - the epitome of a strong and upright warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of Hideyoshi's retainers... a sort of gang leader, and would often tease and play around with Ishida Mitsunari, who was a former monk and weak in strength... although he apparently meant no harm...&lt;br /&gt;

A large, young man with exceptional martial prowess and a keen sense of learning,&lt;br /&gt;
he admires Hideyoshi and his military strategist, Kanbei, and hopes to be able to assist them as a spearman.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to his efforts, he has been particularly successful recently, achieving great success as a lookout (scout) in the capture of Tottori Castle and being the first to land a spear in the attack on Bitchu Kanmuriyama Castle, earning him the envious gazes of his retainers, including Fukushima Masanori.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was originally a powerful clan leader in the Hachisuka district of Owari and the leader of a group of mercenaries known as the &amp;quot;Hachisuka Clan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's right-hand man, and had been infatuated with Nobunaga since the days of Tokichiro, demonstrating his skill as one of his advisors. On the other hand, he was cold towards Nobunaga, describing him as &amp;quot;a fierce general, but not a good one.&amp;quot; This is probably why, despite being a yoriki, he essentially worked under Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;
From his appearance, he may be thought of as a ronin, but in reality he was a brave, tactical and practical military commander, and he paid close attention to the city government within his territory. Nicknamed &amp;quot;the six-year-old man,&amp;quot; he was trusted by many of Hideyoshi's soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
16 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuroda Kanbei, he had just made his debut at the siege of Kanmuriyama Castle in Bitchu. He was praised for his wisdom and bravery, and for having the potential to&lt;br /&gt;
become a great general. During Araki Murashige's rebellion, Nobunaga saw his father's imprisonment as a betrayal and nearly killed him, but he escaped danger thanks to Takenaka Hanbei.&lt;br /&gt;
After Hanbei's death, Nagamasa came to admire the late Hanbei more than his father Kanbei, whose ambitions gradually became more apparent...&lt;br /&gt;
Among his fellow warlords, he was particularly close with Hosokawa Tadaoki...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
37 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's trusted adviser, known as &amp;quot;the greatest military strategist of all time.&amp;quot; His real name was Takataka.&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up to Takenaka Hanbei, now known as Komei, as his mentor, and learned from him his honesty and his versatile military strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when he went to Arioka Castle to persuade Araki Murashige to put an end to his rebellion, he was instead thrown into prison.&lt;br /&gt;
After nearly a year of imprisonment before being rescued, his legs became lame, and his great mentor Hanbei died of illness in the camp...&lt;br /&gt;
After much anguish... Kanbei began to raise his ambition to rule the world with his combined wisdom and strategy... What did he think of Mitsuhide's rebellion?!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 49&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is a feared ruler of the Warring States period known as the &amp;quot;Sixth Heavenly Demon King,&amp;quot; but deep in his heart he harbors a warm and abundant love.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he compares himself to Cao Cao and calls himself a &amp;quot;hero of turbulent times,&amp;quot; and chooses to walk a thorny path.&lt;br /&gt;
In his youth, he lulled those around him into a false sense of security by pretending to be &amp;quot;foolish,&amp;quot; and after inheriting the family headship, he&lt;br /&gt;
quickly unified Owari. From then on, he brought the turbulent times to an end with his precise and bold strategy, his brave and courageous military tactics, and his hidden &amp;quot;great power.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
With the long-awaited peace in sight, he secretly worries about sealing away his own talents, which could turn him into a wicked minister...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who will bring an end to the war?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
27 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a woman, Ujisato was adopted by Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;son-in-law&amp;quot; through political means.&lt;br /&gt;
Although her &amp;quot;womanhood&amp;quot; soon became public knowledge after her adoption, Ujisato's courage and intelligence made her very beloved by Nobunaga and his vassals, and she continued to be treated the same as a member of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She was a person of exceptional beauty, excelling in both literature and martial arts, and admired Nobunaga, who treated her as a son-in-law, calling him a &amp;quot;supple beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
She was a good friend and quarrelsome friend of Hori Hidemasa, who did not let Nobunaga be conscious of her being a woman.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a wise general who was praised as the pillar of the Rokkaku clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When his master's family was destroyed and Nobunaga came to Kyoto, he was the first to offer his daughter as a hostage to Nobunaga in an attempt to make peace.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when his daughter (later Ujisato) said, &amp;quot;As a son, I would like to be married by Lord Nobunaga,&amp;quot; he risked the destruction of his clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Nobunaga took a great liking to Ujisato, and he won the political battle.&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that when Ujisato &amp;quot;married into his family,&amp;quot; he entered the castle without any shame, and Nobunaga greeted him with a loud laugh.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
18 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second son of the Mori family, both brothers were expected to have bright futures.&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a page to Nobunaga along with his younger brothers, Bomaru and Chikaramaru, but Nobunaga especially loved Ranmaru's intelligence and made him his chief page.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga loved him and called him &amp;quot;O-Ran,&amp;quot; but because he always reads and acts one step ahead of Nobunaga's thoughts, he was often viewed&lt;br /&gt;
with suspicion by those around him. However, he admired Mitsuhide's knowledge and dignity, and secretly respected him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander who fell in love with Hideyoshi's charm and swore to become his brother.&lt;br /&gt;
(In reality, Hideyoshi had simply persuaded him, but he himself is unaware of this.)&lt;br /&gt;
He is younger than Hideyoshi, but as a long-time retainer of the Oda clan, he has a big attitude. He&lt;br /&gt;
is currently a central figure in the Ikeda clan, working under Tsuneoki, and is a pure warrior who charges into battle before anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
He seems to be drinking buddies with Maeda Keiji, and the two are often seen drinking together and chatting about spear fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
23 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsuneoki's second son, he is a military commander who inherited his father's bravery. His trademark is his tobacco pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager, he had no intention of inheriting the family estate, so he wandered aimlessly around the country.&lt;br /&gt;
He met people like Todo Takatora during his travels, and the two deepened their friendship, calling each other &amp;quot;mountain bandits&amp;quot; in contrast to Takatora's &amp;quot;pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps thanks to his travels around the country, he, like Takatora, was a warrior skilled in both the arts and martial arts, and also skilled in governing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
47 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of Nobunaga's wet nurse, he is also Nobunaga's foster brother, and has served by his side since before Nobunaga was called a &amp;quot;fool.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was young, he has always had scars from protecting Nobunaga with his own body when he was in danger, but he is proud of each scar as proof of his loyalty. He&lt;br /&gt;
is usually quiet, but when it matters most, Tsuneoki's honest words carry weight.&lt;br /&gt;
With his daughter Sen married Mori Nagayoshi, he serves as the guardian of the Mori family, looking after the Mori brothers both in the shadows and in the public eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a veteran retainer of the Oda clan, and is known as &amp;quot;Sumi&amp;quot; Katsusaburo, and is a match for Niwa &amp;quot;Yone&amp;quot; Goroza.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuki Yoshitaka, he is a true seaman, born and raised on the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
To him, the sea is an endless longing, the flag a marker for where he will die, and the ship an unrestrained soul.&lt;br /&gt;
Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;
As we'll see later, the drastic change in his facial structure... it's unclear whether it's genetic or whether he ate the evil fruit series.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 46&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nicknamed &amp;quot;Saru,&amp;quot; he was born to Kinoshita Yaemon, a foot soldier under Oda Nobuhide, and Naka, a farmer's daughter. He met Nobunaga at the age of 18 and began serving him as a minor, performing odd jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
His charm and drive steadily led him up the ranks, and nine years ago, when he first became the lord of a castle and province, he took the name &amp;quot;Hashiba,&amp;quot; taking one character from each of the surnames of his superiors, Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie.&lt;br /&gt;
However, five years earlier, he had provoked a fight with his superior, Katsuie, disguised as a tactical disagreement, and left the battlefield without permission. While he now ranks alongside his senior vassals, this was because he had hoped for even greater advancement. Then, when Matsunaga Hisahide rebelled, he successfully suppressed it, successfully securing the position of supreme commander in the Chugoku region.&lt;br /&gt;
With his devilishly quick mind, charming expressions and eloquence, and the drive to act without wasting a moment, he aims to become No. 2 to his beloved Nobunaga!&lt;br /&gt;

His childhood name was Katsuramatsu, later Kinosuke. He was the son of Otani Moriharu, a vassal of Otomo Sorin.&lt;br /&gt;
He left the Otomo clan with his father and after a period of wandering, began serving Hideyoshi as a page at the age of 16, where his keen talent was quickly recognized and he gained Hideyoshi's trust. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
because he was also a member of Hideyoshi's pages, he looked after Fukushima Masanori and Ishida Mitsunari well, and was very popular with them. He&lt;br /&gt;
was skilled in domestic affairs, but also showed great talent in military affairs, making him a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;

At the age of 18, he participated in the invasion of Chugoku, demonstrating his fierce fighting spirit and competing for success with Kiyomasa, who was like a brother to him.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a brave and courageous man on the battlefield, straightforward and straightforward in nature, and also kind-hearted and easily moved to tears - the epitome of a strong and upright warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of Hideyoshi's retainers... a sort of gang leader, and would often tease and play around with Ishida Mitsunari, who was a former monk and weak in strength... although he apparently meant no harm...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Known as Toranosuke, he was one of Hideyoshi's retainers, raised under his father from an early age.&lt;br /&gt;
A large, young man with exceptional martial prowess and a keen sense of learning,&lt;br /&gt;
he admires Hideyoshi and his military strategist, Kanbei, and hopes to be able to assist them as a spearman.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to his efforts, he has been particularly successful recently, achieving great success as a lookout (scout) in the capture of Tottori Castle and being the first to land a spear in the attack on Bitchu Kanmuriyama Castle, earning him the envious gazes of his retainers, including Fukushima Masanori.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
57 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was originally a powerful clan leader in the Hachisuka district of Owari and the leader of a group of mercenaries known as the &amp;quot;Hachisuka Clan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's right-hand man, and had been infatuated with Nobunaga since the days of Tokichiro, demonstrating his skill as one of his advisors. On the other hand, he was cold towards Nobunaga, describing him as &amp;quot;a fierce general, but not a good one.&amp;quot; This is probably why, despite being a yoriki, he essentially worked under Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;
From his appearance, he may be thought of as a ronin, but in reality he was a brave, tactical and practical military commander, and he paid close attention to the city government within his territory. Nicknamed &amp;quot;the six-year-old man,&amp;quot; he was trusted by many of Hideyoshi's soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
16 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuroda Kanbei, he had just made his debut at the siege of Kanmuriyama Castle in Bitchu. He was praised for his wisdom and bravery, and for having the potential to&lt;br /&gt;
become a great general. During Araki Murashige's rebellion, Nobunaga saw his father's imprisonment as a betrayal and nearly killed him, but he escaped danger thanks to Takenaka Hanbei.&lt;br /&gt;
After Hanbei's death, Nagamasa came to admire the late Hanbei more than his father Kanbei, whose ambitions gradually became more apparent...&lt;br /&gt;
Among his fellow warlords, he was particularly close with Hosokawa Tadaoki...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
37 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's trusted adviser, known as &amp;quot;the greatest military strategist of all time.&amp;quot; His real name was Takataka.&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up to Takenaka Hanbei, now known as Komei, as his mentor, and learned from him his honesty and his versatile military strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when he went to Arioka Castle to persuade Araki Murashige to put an end to his rebellion, he was instead thrown into prison.&lt;br /&gt;
After nearly a year of imprisonment before being rescued, his legs became lame, and his great mentor Hanbei died of illness in the camp...&lt;br /&gt;
After much anguish... Kanbei began to raise his ambition to rule the world with his combined wisdom and strategy... What did he think of Mitsuhide's rebellion?!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 49&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is a feared ruler of the Warring States period known as the &amp;quot;Sixth Heavenly Demon King,&amp;quot; but deep in his heart he harbors a warm and abundant love.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he compares himself to Cao Cao and calls himself a &amp;quot;hero of turbulent times,&amp;quot; and chooses to walk a thorny path.&lt;br /&gt;
In his youth, he lulled those around him into a false sense of security by pretending to be &amp;quot;foolish,&amp;quot; and after inheriting the family headship, he&lt;br /&gt;
quickly unified Owari. From then on, he brought the turbulent times to an end with his precise and bold strategy, his brave and courageous military tactics, and his hidden &amp;quot;great power.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
With the long-awaited peace in sight, he secretly worries about sealing away his own talents, which could turn him into a wicked minister...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who will bring an end to the war?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
27 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a woman, Ujisato was adopted by Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;son-in-law&amp;quot; through political means.&lt;br /&gt;
Although her &amp;quot;womanhood&amp;quot; soon became public knowledge after her adoption, Ujisato's courage and intelligence made her very beloved by Nobunaga and his vassals, and she continued to be treated the same as a member of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She was a person of exceptional beauty, excelling in both literature and martial arts, and admired Nobunaga, who treated her as a son-in-law, calling him a &amp;quot;supple beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
She was a good friend and quarrelsome friend of Hori Hidemasa, who did not let Nobunaga be conscious of her being a woman.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a wise general who was praised as the pillar of the Rokkaku clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When his master's family was destroyed and Nobunaga came to Kyoto, he was the first to offer his daughter as a hostage to Nobunaga in an attempt to make peace.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when his daughter (later Ujisato) said, &amp;quot;As a son, I would like to be married by Lord Nobunaga,&amp;quot; he risked the destruction of his clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Nobunaga took a great liking to Ujisato, and he won the political battle.&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that when Ujisato &amp;quot;married into his family,&amp;quot; he entered the castle without any shame, and Nobunaga greeted him with a loud laugh.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
18 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second son of the Mori family, both brothers were expected to have bright futures.&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a page to Nobunaga along with his younger brothers, Bomaru and Chikaramaru, but Nobunaga especially loved Ranmaru's intelligence and made him his chief page.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga loved him and called him &amp;quot;O-Ran,&amp;quot; but because he always reads and acts one step ahead of Nobunaga's thoughts, he was often viewed&lt;br /&gt;
with suspicion by those around him. However, he admired Mitsuhide's knowledge and dignity, and secretly respected him.&lt;br /&gt;

41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander who fell in love with Hideyoshi's charm and swore to become his brother.&lt;br /&gt;
(In reality, Hideyoshi had simply persuaded him, but he himself is unaware of this.)&lt;br /&gt;
He is younger than Hideyoshi, but as a long-time retainer of the Oda clan, he has a big attitude. He&lt;br /&gt;
is currently a central figure in the Ikeda clan, working under Tsuneoki, and is a pure warrior who charges into battle before anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
He seems to be drinking buddies with Maeda Keiji, and the two are often seen drinking together and chatting about spear fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
23 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsuneoki's second son, he is a military commander who inherited his father's bravery. His trademark is his tobacco pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager, he had no intention of inheriting the family estate, so he wandered aimlessly around the country.&lt;br /&gt;
He met people like Todo Takatora during his travels, and the two deepened their friendship, calling each other &amp;quot;mountain bandits&amp;quot; in contrast to Takatora's &amp;quot;pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps thanks to his travels around the country, he, like Takatora, was a warrior skilled in both the arts and martial arts, and also skilled in governing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
47 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of Nobunaga's wet nurse, he is also Nobunaga's foster brother, and has served by his side since before Nobunaga was called a &amp;quot;fool.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was young, he has always had scars from protecting Nobunaga with his own body when he was in danger, but he is proud of each scar as proof of his loyalty. He&lt;br /&gt;
is usually quiet, but when it matters most, Tsuneoki's honest words carry weight.&lt;br /&gt;
With his daughter Sen married Mori Nagayoshi, he serves as the guardian of the Mori family, looking after the Mori brothers both in the shadows and in the public eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a veteran retainer of the Oda clan, and is known as &amp;quot;Sumi&amp;quot; Katsusaburo, and is a match for Niwa &amp;quot;Yone&amp;quot; Goroza.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

48 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuki Yoshitaka, he is a true seaman, born and raised on the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
To him, the sea is an endless longing, the flag a marker for where he will die, and the ship an unrestrained soul.&lt;br /&gt;
Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;
As we'll see later, the drastic change in his facial structure... it's unclear whether it's genetic or whether he ate the evil fruit series.&lt;br /&gt;

41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

His charm and drive steadily led him up the ranks, and nine years ago, when he first became the lord of a castle and province, he took the name &amp;quot;Hashiba,&amp;quot; taking one character from each of the surnames of his superiors, Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie.&lt;br /&gt;
However, five years earlier, he had provoked a fight with his superior, Katsuie, disguised as a tactical disagreement, and left the battlefield without permission. While he now ranks alongside his senior vassals, this was because he had hoped for even greater advancement. Then, when Matsunaga Hisahide rebelled, he successfully suppressed it, successfully securing the position of supreme commander in the Chugoku region.&lt;br /&gt;
With his devilishly quick mind, charming expressions and eloquence, and the drive to act without wasting a moment, he aims to become No. 2 to his beloved Nobunaga!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
24 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Katsuramatsu, later Kinosuke. He was the son of Otani Moriharu, a vassal of Otomo Sorin.&lt;br /&gt;
He left the Otomo clan with his father and after a period of wandering, began serving Hideyoshi as a page at the age of 16, where his keen talent was quickly recognized and he gained Hideyoshi's trust. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
because he was also a member of Hideyoshi's pages, he looked after Fukushima Masanori and Ishida Mitsunari well, and was very popular with them. He&lt;br /&gt;
was skilled in domestic affairs, but also showed great talent in military affairs, making him a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Ichimatsu, and he was known from an early age for his extraordinary strength.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 18, he participated in the invasion of Chugoku, demonstrating his fierce fighting spirit and competing for success with Kiyomasa, who was like a brother to him.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a brave and courageous man on the battlefield, straightforward and straightforward in nature, and also kind-hearted and easily moved to tears - the epitome of a strong and upright warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of Hideyoshi's retainers... a sort of gang leader, and would often tease and play around with Ishida Mitsunari, who was a former monk and weak in strength... although he apparently meant no harm...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Known as Toranosuke, he was one of Hideyoshi's retainers, raised under his father from an early age.&lt;br /&gt;
A large, young man with exceptional martial prowess and a keen sense of learning,&lt;br /&gt;
he admires Hideyoshi and his military strategist, Kanbei, and hopes to be able to assist them as a spearman.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to his efforts, he has been particularly successful recently, achieving great success as a lookout (scout) in the capture of Tottori Castle and being the first to land a spear in the attack on Bitchu Kanmuriyama Castle, earning him the envious gazes of his retainers, including Fukushima Masanori.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
57 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was originally a powerful clan leader in the Hachisuka district of Owari and the leader of a group of mercenaries known as the &amp;quot;Hachisuka Clan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's right-hand man, and had been infatuated with Nobunaga since the days of Tokichiro, demonstrating his skill as one of his advisors. On the other hand, he was cold towards Nobunaga, describing him as &amp;quot;a fierce general, but not a good one.&amp;quot; This is probably why, despite being a yoriki, he essentially worked under Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;
From his appearance, he may be thought of as a ronin, but in reality he was a brave, tactical and practical military commander, and he paid close attention to the city government within his territory. Nicknamed &amp;quot;the six-year-old man,&amp;quot; he was trusted by many of Hideyoshi's soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
16 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuroda Kanbei, he had just made his debut at the siege of Kanmuriyama Castle in Bitchu. He was praised for his wisdom and bravery, and for having the potential to&lt;br /&gt;
become a great general. During Araki Murashige's rebellion, Nobunaga saw his father's imprisonment as a betrayal and nearly killed him, but he escaped danger thanks to Takenaka Hanbei.&lt;br /&gt;
After Hanbei's death, Nagamasa came to admire the late Hanbei more than his father Kanbei, whose ambitions gradually became more apparent...&lt;br /&gt;
Among his fellow warlords, he was particularly close with Hosokawa Tadaoki...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
37 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's trusted adviser, known as &amp;quot;the greatest military strategist of all time.&amp;quot; His real name was Takataka.&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up to Takenaka Hanbei, now known as Komei, as his mentor, and learned from him his honesty and his versatile military strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when he went to Arioka Castle to persuade Araki Murashige to put an end to his rebellion, he was instead thrown into prison.&lt;br /&gt;
After nearly a year of imprisonment before being rescued, his legs became lame, and his great mentor Hanbei died of illness in the camp...&lt;br /&gt;
After much anguish... Kanbei began to raise his ambition to rule the world with his combined wisdom and strategy... What did he think of Mitsuhide's rebellion?!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 49&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is a feared ruler of the Warring States period known as the &amp;quot;Sixth Heavenly Demon King,&amp;quot; but deep in his heart he harbors a warm and abundant love.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he compares himself to Cao Cao and calls himself a &amp;quot;hero of turbulent times,&amp;quot; and chooses to walk a thorny path.&lt;br /&gt;
In his youth, he lulled those around him into a false sense of security by pretending to be &amp;quot;foolish,&amp;quot; and after inheriting the family headship, he&lt;br /&gt;
quickly unified Owari. From then on, he brought the turbulent times to an end with his precise and bold strategy, his brave and courageous military tactics, and his hidden &amp;quot;great power.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
With the long-awaited peace in sight, he secretly worries about sealing away his own talents, which could turn him into a wicked minister...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
27 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a woman, Ujisato was adopted by Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;son-in-law&amp;quot; through political means.&lt;br /&gt;
Although her &amp;quot;womanhood&amp;quot; soon became public knowledge after her adoption, Ujisato's courage and intelligence made her very beloved by Nobunaga and his vassals, and she continued to be treated the same as a member of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She was a person of exceptional beauty, excelling in both literature and martial arts, and admired Nobunaga, who treated her as a son-in-law, calling him a &amp;quot;supple beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
She was a good friend and quarrelsome friend of Hori Hidemasa, who did not let Nobunaga be conscious of her being a woman.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a wise general who was praised as the pillar of the Rokkaku clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When his master's family was destroyed and Nobunaga came to Kyoto, he was the first to offer his daughter as a hostage to Nobunaga in an attempt to make peace.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when his daughter (later Ujisato) said, &amp;quot;As a son, I would like to be married by Lord Nobunaga,&amp;quot; he risked the destruction of his clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Nobunaga took a great liking to Ujisato, and he won the political battle.&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that when Ujisato &amp;quot;married into his family,&amp;quot; he entered the castle without any shame, and Nobunaga greeted him with a loud laugh.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The second son of the Mori family, both brothers were expected to have bright futures.&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a page to Nobunaga along with his younger brothers, Bomaru and Chikaramaru, but Nobunaga especially loved Ranmaru's intelligence and made him his chief page.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga loved him and called him &amp;quot;O-Ran,&amp;quot; but because he always reads and acts one step ahead of Nobunaga's thoughts, he was often viewed&lt;br /&gt;
with suspicion by those around him. However, he admired Mitsuhide's knowledge and dignity, and secretly respected him.&lt;br /&gt;

41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander who fell in love with Hideyoshi's charm and swore to become his brother.&lt;br /&gt;
(In reality, Hideyoshi had simply persuaded him, but he himself is unaware of this.)&lt;br /&gt;
He is younger than Hideyoshi, but as a long-time retainer of the Oda clan, he has a big attitude. He&lt;br /&gt;
is currently a central figure in the Ikeda clan, working under Tsuneoki, and is a pure warrior who charges into battle before anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
He seems to be drinking buddies with Maeda Keiji, and the two are often seen drinking together and chatting about spear fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
23 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsuneoki's second son, he is a military commander who inherited his father's bravery. His trademark is his tobacco pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager, he had no intention of inheriting the family estate, so he wandered aimlessly around the country.&lt;br /&gt;
He met people like Todo Takatora during his travels, and the two deepened their friendship, calling each other &amp;quot;mountain bandits&amp;quot; in contrast to Takatora's &amp;quot;pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps thanks to his travels around the country, he, like Takatora, was a warrior skilled in both the arts and martial arts, and also skilled in governing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
47 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of Nobunaga's wet nurse, he is also Nobunaga's foster brother, and has served by his side since before Nobunaga was called a &amp;quot;fool.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was young, he has always had scars from protecting Nobunaga with his own body when he was in danger, but he is proud of each scar as proof of his loyalty. He&lt;br /&gt;
is usually quiet, but when it matters most, Tsuneoki's honest words carry weight.&lt;br /&gt;
With his daughter Sen married Mori Nagayoshi, he serves as the guardian of the Mori family, looking after the Mori brothers both in the shadows and in the public eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a veteran retainer of the Oda clan, and is known as &amp;quot;Sumi&amp;quot; Katsusaburo, and is a match for Niwa &amp;quot;Yone&amp;quot; Goroza.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 46&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nicknamed &amp;quot;Saru,&amp;quot; he was born to Kinoshita Yaemon, a foot soldier under Oda Nobuhide, and Naka, a farmer's daughter. He met Nobunaga at the age of 18 and began serving him as a minor, performing odd jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
His charm and drive steadily led him up the ranks, and nine years ago, when he first became the lord of a castle and province, he took the name &amp;quot;Hashiba,&amp;quot; taking one character from each of the surnames of his superiors, Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie.&lt;br /&gt;
However, five years earlier, he had provoked a fight with his superior, Katsuie, disguised as a tactical disagreement, and left the battlefield without permission. While he now ranks alongside his senior vassals, this was because he had hoped for even greater advancement. Then, when Matsunaga Hisahide rebelled, he successfully suppressed it, successfully securing the position of supreme commander in the Chugoku region.&lt;br /&gt;
With his devilishly quick mind, charming expressions and eloquence, and the drive to act without wasting a moment, he aims to become No. 2 to his beloved Nobunaga!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
24 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Katsuramatsu, later Kinosuke. He was the son of Otani Moriharu, a vassal of Otomo Sorin.&lt;br /&gt;
He left the Otomo clan with his father and after a period of wandering, began serving Hideyoshi as a page at the age of 16, where his keen talent was quickly recognized and he gained Hideyoshi's trust. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
because he was also a member of Hideyoshi's pages, he looked after Fukushima Masanori and Ishida Mitsunari well, and was very popular with them. He&lt;br /&gt;
was skilled in domestic affairs, but also showed great talent in military affairs, making him a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Ichimatsu, and he was known from an early age for his extraordinary strength.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 18, he participated in the invasion of Chugoku, demonstrating his fierce fighting spirit and competing for success with Kiyomasa, who was like a brother to him.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a brave and courageous man on the battlefield, straightforward and straightforward in nature, and also kind-hearted and easily moved to tears - the epitome of a strong and upright warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of Hideyoshi's retainers... a sort of gang leader, and would often tease and play around with Ishida Mitsunari, who was a former monk and weak in strength... although he apparently meant no harm...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Known as Toranosuke, he was one of Hideyoshi's retainers, raised under his father from an early age.&lt;br /&gt;
A large, young man with exceptional martial prowess and a keen sense of learning,&lt;br /&gt;
he admires Hideyoshi and his military strategist, Kanbei, and hopes to be able to assist them as a spearman.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to his efforts, he has been particularly successful recently, achieving great success as a lookout (scout) in the capture of Tottori Castle and being the first to land a spear in the attack on Bitchu Kanmuriyama Castle, earning him the envious gazes of his retainers, including Fukushima Masanori.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
57 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was originally a powerful clan leader in the Hachisuka district of Owari and the leader of a group of mercenaries known as the &amp;quot;Hachisuka Clan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's right-hand man, and had been infatuated with Nobunaga since the days of Tokichiro, demonstrating his skill as one of his advisors. On the other hand, he was cold towards Nobunaga, describing him as &amp;quot;a fierce general, but not a good one.&amp;quot; This is probably why, despite being a yoriki, he essentially worked under Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;
From his appearance, he may be thought of as a ronin, but in reality he was a brave, tactical and practical military commander, and he paid close attention to the city government within his territory. Nicknamed &amp;quot;the six-year-old man,&amp;quot; he was trusted by many of Hideyoshi's soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
16 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuroda Kanbei, he had just made his debut at the siege of Kanmuriyama Castle in Bitchu. He was praised for his wisdom and bravery, and for having the potential to&lt;br /&gt;
become a great general. During Araki Murashige's rebellion, Nobunaga saw his father's imprisonment as a betrayal and nearly killed him, but he escaped danger thanks to Takenaka Hanbei.&lt;br /&gt;
After Hanbei's death, Nagamasa came to admire the late Hanbei more than his father Kanbei, whose ambitions gradually became more apparent...&lt;br /&gt;
Among his fellow warlords, he was particularly close with Hosokawa Tadaoki...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
37 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's trusted adviser, known as &amp;quot;the greatest military strategist of all time.&amp;quot; His real name was Takataka.&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up to Takenaka Hanbei, now known as Komei, as his mentor, and learned from him his honesty and his versatile military strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when he went to Arioka Castle to persuade Araki Murashige to put an end to his rebellion, he was instead thrown into prison.&lt;br /&gt;
After nearly a year of imprisonment before being rescued, his legs became lame, and his great mentor Hanbei died of illness in the camp...&lt;br /&gt;
After much anguish... Kanbei began to raise his ambition to rule the world with his combined wisdom and strategy... What did he think of Mitsuhide's rebellion?!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 49&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is a feared ruler of the Warring States period known as the &amp;quot;Sixth Heavenly Demon King,&amp;quot; but deep in his heart he harbors a warm and abundant love.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he compares himself to Cao Cao and calls himself a &amp;quot;hero of turbulent times,&amp;quot; and chooses to walk a thorny path.&lt;br /&gt;
In his youth, he lulled those around him into a false sense of security by pretending to be &amp;quot;foolish,&amp;quot; and after inheriting the family headship, he&lt;br /&gt;
quickly unified Owari. From then on, he brought the turbulent times to an end with his precise and bold strategy, his brave and courageous military tactics, and his hidden &amp;quot;great power.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
With the long-awaited peace in sight, he secretly worries about sealing away his own talents, which could turn him into a wicked minister...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who will bring an end to the war?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
27 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a woman, Ujisato was adopted by Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;son-in-law&amp;quot; through political means.&lt;br /&gt;
Although her &amp;quot;womanhood&amp;quot; soon became public knowledge after her adoption, Ujisato's courage and intelligence made her very beloved by Nobunaga and his vassals, and she continued to be treated the same as a member of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She was a person of exceptional beauty, excelling in both literature and martial arts, and admired Nobunaga, who treated her as a son-in-law, calling him a &amp;quot;supple beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
She was a good friend and quarrelsome friend of Hori Hidemasa, who did not let Nobunaga be conscious of her being a woman.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a wise general who was praised as the pillar of the Rokkaku clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When his master's family was destroyed and Nobunaga came to Kyoto, he was the first to offer his daughter as a hostage to Nobunaga in an attempt to make peace.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when his daughter (later Ujisato) said, &amp;quot;As a son, I would like to be married by Lord Nobunaga,&amp;quot; he risked the destruction of his clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Nobunaga took a great liking to Ujisato, and he won the political battle.&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that when Ujisato &amp;quot;married into his family,&amp;quot; he entered the castle without any shame, and Nobunaga greeted him with a loud laugh.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
18 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second son of the Mori family, both brothers were expected to have bright futures.&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a page to Nobunaga along with his younger brothers, Bomaru and Chikaramaru, but Nobunaga especially loved Ranmaru's intelligence and made him his chief page.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga loved him and called him &amp;quot;O-Ran,&amp;quot; but because he always reads and acts one step ahead of Nobunaga's thoughts, he was often viewed&lt;br /&gt;
with suspicion by those around him. However, he admired Mitsuhide's knowledge and dignity, and secretly respected him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander who fell in love with Hideyoshi's charm and swore to become his brother.&lt;br /&gt;
(In reality, Hideyoshi had simply persuaded him, but he himself is unaware of this.)&lt;br /&gt;
He is younger than Hideyoshi, but as a long-time retainer of the Oda clan, he has a big attitude. He&lt;br /&gt;
is currently a central figure in the Ikeda clan, working under Tsuneoki, and is a pure warrior who charges into battle before anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
He seems to be drinking buddies with Maeda Keiji, and the two are often seen drinking together and chatting about spear fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
23 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsuneoki's second son, he is a military commander who inherited his father's bravery. His trademark is his tobacco pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager, he had no intention of inheriting the family estate, so he wandered aimlessly around the country.&lt;br /&gt;
He met people like Todo Takatora during his travels, and the two deepened their friendship, calling each other &amp;quot;mountain bandits&amp;quot; in contrast to Takatora's &amp;quot;pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps thanks to his travels around the country, he, like Takatora, was a warrior skilled in both the arts and martial arts, and also skilled in governing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
47 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of Nobunaga's wet nurse, he is also Nobunaga's foster brother, and has served by his side since before Nobunaga was called a &amp;quot;fool.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was young, he has always had scars from protecting Nobunaga with his own body when he was in danger, but he is proud of each scar as proof of his loyalty. He&lt;br /&gt;
is usually quiet, but when it matters most, Tsuneoki's honest words carry weight.&lt;br /&gt;
With his daughter Sen married Mori Nagayoshi, he serves as the guardian of the Mori family, looking after the Mori brothers both in the shadows and in the public eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a veteran retainer of the Oda clan, and is known as &amp;quot;Sumi&amp;quot; Katsusaburo, and is a match for Niwa &amp;quot;Yone&amp;quot; Goroza.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

26 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuki Yoshitaka, he is a true seaman, born and raised on the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
To him, the sea is an endless longing, the flag a marker for where he will die, and the ship an unrestrained soul.&lt;br /&gt;
Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;
As we'll see later, the drastic change in his facial structure... it's unclear whether it's genetic or whether he ate the evil fruit series.&lt;br /&gt;

The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 46&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nicknamed &amp;quot;Saru,&amp;quot; he was born to Kinoshita Yaemon, a foot soldier under Oda Nobuhide, and Naka, a farmer's daughter. He met Nobunaga at the age of 18 and began serving him as a minor, performing odd jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
His charm and drive steadily led him up the ranks, and nine years ago, when he first became the lord of a castle and province, he took the name &amp;quot;Hashiba,&amp;quot; taking one character from each of the surnames of his superiors, Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie.&lt;br /&gt;
However, five years earlier, he had provoked a fight with his superior, Katsuie, disguised as a tactical disagreement, and left the battlefield without permission. While he now ranks alongside his senior vassals, this was because he had hoped for even greater advancement. Then, when Matsunaga Hisahide rebelled, he successfully suppressed it, successfully securing the position of supreme commander in the Chugoku region.&lt;br /&gt;
With his devilishly quick mind, charming expressions and eloquence, and the drive to act without wasting a moment, he aims to become No. 2 to his beloved Nobunaga!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
24 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Katsuramatsu, later Kinosuke. He was the son of Otani Moriharu, a vassal of Otomo Sorin.&lt;br /&gt;
He left the Otomo clan with his father and after a period of wandering, began serving Hideyoshi as a page at the age of 16, where his keen talent was quickly recognized and he gained Hideyoshi's trust. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
because he was also a member of Hideyoshi's pages, he looked after Fukushima Masanori and Ishida Mitsunari well, and was very popular with them. He&lt;br /&gt;
was skilled in domestic affairs, but also showed great talent in military affairs, making him a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Ichimatsu, and he was known from an early age for his extraordinary strength.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 18, he participated in the invasion of Chugoku, demonstrating his fierce fighting spirit and competing for success with Kiyomasa, who was like a brother to him.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a brave and courageous man on the battlefield, straightforward and straightforward in nature, and also kind-hearted and easily moved to tears - the epitome of a strong and upright warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of Hideyoshi's retainers... a sort of gang leader, and would often tease and play around with Ishida Mitsunari, who was a former monk and weak in strength... although he apparently meant no harm...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Known as Toranosuke, he was one of Hideyoshi's retainers, raised under his father from an early age.&lt;br /&gt;
A large, young man with exceptional martial prowess and a keen sense of learning,&lt;br /&gt;
he admires Hideyoshi and his military strategist, Kanbei, and hopes to be able to assist them as a spearman.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to his efforts, he has been particularly successful recently, achieving great success as a lookout (scout) in the capture of Tottori Castle and being the first to land a spear in the attack on Bitchu Kanmuriyama Castle, earning him the envious gazes of his retainers, including Fukushima Masanori.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
57 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was originally a powerful clan leader in the Hachisuka district of Owari and the leader of a group of mercenaries known as the &amp;quot;Hachisuka Clan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's right-hand man, and had been infatuated with Nobunaga since the days of Tokichiro, demonstrating his skill as one of his advisors. On the other hand, he was cold towards Nobunaga, describing him as &amp;quot;a fierce general, but not a good one.&amp;quot; This is probably why, despite being a yoriki, he essentially worked under Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;
From his appearance, he may be thought of as a ronin, but in reality he was a brave, tactical and practical military commander, and he paid close attention to the city government within his territory. Nicknamed &amp;quot;the six-year-old man,&amp;quot; he was trusted by many of Hideyoshi's soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
16 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuroda Kanbei, he had just made his debut at the siege of Kanmuriyama Castle in Bitchu. He was praised for his wisdom and bravery, and for having the potential to&lt;br /&gt;
become a great general. During Araki Murashige's rebellion, Nobunaga saw his father's imprisonment as a betrayal and nearly killed him, but he escaped danger thanks to Takenaka Hanbei.&lt;br /&gt;
After Hanbei's death, Nagamasa came to admire the late Hanbei more than his father Kanbei, whose ambitions gradually became more apparent...&lt;br /&gt;
Among his fellow warlords, he was particularly close with Hosokawa Tadaoki...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
37 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's trusted adviser, known as &amp;quot;the greatest military strategist of all time.&amp;quot; His real name was Takataka.&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up to Takenaka Hanbei, now known as Komei, as his mentor, and learned from him his honesty and his versatile military strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when he went to Arioka Castle to persuade Araki Murashige to put an end to his rebellion, he was instead thrown into prison.&lt;br /&gt;
After nearly a year of imprisonment before being rescued, his legs became lame, and his great mentor Hanbei died of illness in the camp...&lt;br /&gt;
After much anguish... Kanbei began to raise his ambition to rule the world with his combined wisdom and strategy... What did he think of Mitsuhide's rebellion?!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 49&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is a feared ruler of the Warring States period known as the &amp;quot;Sixth Heavenly Demon King,&amp;quot; but deep in his heart he harbors a warm and abundant love.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he compares himself to Cao Cao and calls himself a &amp;quot;hero of turbulent times,&amp;quot; and chooses to walk a thorny path.&lt;br /&gt;
In his youth, he lulled those around him into a false sense of security by pretending to be &amp;quot;foolish,&amp;quot; and after inheriting the family headship, he&lt;br /&gt;
quickly unified Owari. From then on, he brought the turbulent times to an end with his precise and bold strategy, his brave and courageous military tactics, and his hidden &amp;quot;great power.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
With the long-awaited peace in sight, he secretly worries about sealing away his own talents, which could turn him into a wicked minister...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who will bring an end to the war?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
27 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a woman, Ujisato was adopted by Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;son-in-law&amp;quot; through political means.&lt;br /&gt;
Although her &amp;quot;womanhood&amp;quot; soon became public knowledge after her adoption, Ujisato's courage and intelligence made her very beloved by Nobunaga and his vassals, and she continued to be treated the same as a member of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She was a person of exceptional beauty, excelling in both literature and martial arts, and admired Nobunaga, who treated her as a son-in-law, calling him a &amp;quot;supple beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
She was a good friend and quarrelsome friend of Hori Hidemasa, who did not let Nobunaga be conscious of her being a woman.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a wise general who was praised as the pillar of the Rokkaku clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When his master's family was destroyed and Nobunaga came to Kyoto, he was the first to offer his daughter as a hostage to Nobunaga in an attempt to make peace.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when his daughter (later Ujisato) said, &amp;quot;As a son, I would like to be married by Lord Nobunaga,&amp;quot; he risked the destruction of his clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Nobunaga took a great liking to Ujisato, and he won the political battle.&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that when Ujisato &amp;quot;married into his family,&amp;quot; he entered the castle without any shame, and Nobunaga greeted him with a loud laugh.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
18 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second son of the Mori family, both brothers were expected to have bright futures.&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a page to Nobunaga along with his younger brothers, Bomaru and Chikaramaru, but Nobunaga especially loved Ranmaru's intelligence and made him his chief page.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga loved him and called him &amp;quot;O-Ran,&amp;quot; but because he always reads and acts one step ahead of Nobunaga's thoughts, he was often viewed&lt;br /&gt;
with suspicion by those around him. However, he admired Mitsuhide's knowledge and dignity, and secretly respected him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander who fell in love with Hideyoshi's charm and swore to become his brother.&lt;br /&gt;
(In reality, Hideyoshi had simply persuaded him, but he himself is unaware of this.)&lt;br /&gt;
He is younger than Hideyoshi, but as a long-time retainer of the Oda clan, he has a big attitude. He&lt;br /&gt;
is currently a central figure in the Ikeda clan, working under Tsuneoki, and is a pure warrior who charges into battle before anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
He seems to be drinking buddies with Maeda Keiji, and the two are often seen drinking together and chatting about spear fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
23 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsuneoki's second son, he is a military commander who inherited his father's bravery. His trademark is his tobacco pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager, he had no intention of inheriting the family estate, so he wandered aimlessly around the country.&lt;br /&gt;
He met people like Todo Takatora during his travels, and the two deepened their friendship, calling each other &amp;quot;mountain bandits&amp;quot; in contrast to Takatora's &amp;quot;pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps thanks to his travels around the country, he, like Takatora, was a warrior skilled in both the arts and martial arts, and also skilled in governing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
47 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of Nobunaga's wet nurse, he is also Nobunaga's foster brother, and has served by his side since before Nobunaga was called a &amp;quot;fool.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was young, he has always had scars from protecting Nobunaga with his own body when he was in danger, but he is proud of each scar as proof of his loyalty. He&lt;br /&gt;
is usually quiet, but when it matters most, Tsuneoki's honest words carry weight.&lt;br /&gt;
With his daughter Sen married Mori Nagayoshi, he serves as the guardian of the Mori family, looking after the Mori brothers both in the shadows and in the public eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a veteran retainer of the Oda clan, and is known as &amp;quot;Sumi&amp;quot; Katsusaburo, and is a match for Niwa &amp;quot;Yone&amp;quot; Goroza.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

26 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuki Yoshitaka, he is a true seaman, born and raised on the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
To him, the sea is an endless longing, the flag a marker for where he will die, and the ship an unrestrained soul.&lt;br /&gt;
Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;
As we'll see later, the drastic change in his facial structure... it's unclear whether it's genetic or whether he ate the evil fruit series.&lt;br /&gt;

41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 46&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nicknamed &amp;quot;Saru,&amp;quot; he was born to Kinoshita Yaemon, a foot soldier under Oda Nobuhide, and Naka, a farmer's daughter. He met Nobunaga at the age of 18 and began serving him as a minor, performing odd jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
His charm and drive steadily led him up the ranks, and nine years ago, when he first became the lord of a castle and province, he took the name &amp;quot;Hashiba,&amp;quot; taking one character from each of the surnames of his superiors, Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie.&lt;br /&gt;
However, five years earlier, he had provoked a fight with his superior, Katsuie, disguised as a tactical disagreement, and left the battlefield without permission. While he now ranks alongside his senior vassals, this was because he had hoped for even greater advancement. Then, when Matsunaga Hisahide rebelled, he successfully suppressed it, successfully securing the position of supreme commander in the Chugoku region.&lt;br /&gt;
With his devilishly quick mind, charming expressions and eloquence, and the drive to act without wasting a moment, he aims to become No. 2 to his beloved Nobunaga!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
24 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Katsuramatsu, later Kinosuke. He was the son of Otani Moriharu, a vassal of Otomo Sorin.&lt;br /&gt;
He left the Otomo clan with his father and after a period of wandering, began serving Hideyoshi as a page at the age of 16, where his keen talent was quickly recognized and he gained Hideyoshi's trust. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
because he was also a member of Hideyoshi's pages, he looked after Fukushima Masanori and Ishida Mitsunari well, and was very popular with them. He&lt;br /&gt;
was skilled in domestic affairs, but also showed great talent in military affairs, making him a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Ichimatsu, and he was known from an early age for his extraordinary strength.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 18, he participated in the invasion of Chugoku, demonstrating his fierce fighting spirit and competing for success with Kiyomasa, who was like a brother to him.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a brave and courageous man on the battlefield, straightforward and straightforward in nature, and also kind-hearted and easily moved to tears - the epitome of a strong and upright warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of Hideyoshi's retainers... a sort of gang leader, and would often tease and play around with Ishida Mitsunari, who was a former monk and weak in strength... although he apparently meant no harm...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Known as Toranosuke, he was one of Hideyoshi's retainers, raised under his father from an early age.&lt;br /&gt;
A large, young man with exceptional martial prowess and a keen sense of learning,&lt;br /&gt;
he admires Hideyoshi and his military strategist, Kanbei, and hopes to be able to assist them as a spearman.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to his efforts, he has been particularly successful recently, achieving great success as a lookout (scout) in the capture of Tottori Castle and being the first to land a spear in the attack on Bitchu Kanmuriyama Castle, earning him the envious gazes of his retainers, including Fukushima Masanori.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
57 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was originally a powerful clan leader in the Hachisuka district of Owari and the leader of a group of mercenaries known as the &amp;quot;Hachisuka Clan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's right-hand man, and had been infatuated with Nobunaga since the days of Tokichiro, demonstrating his skill as one of his advisors. On the other hand, he was cold towards Nobunaga, describing him as &amp;quot;a fierce general, but not a good one.&amp;quot; This is probably why, despite being a yoriki, he essentially worked under Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;
From his appearance, he may be thought of as a ronin, but in reality he was a brave, tactical and practical military commander, and he paid close attention to the city government within his territory. Nicknamed &amp;quot;the six-year-old man,&amp;quot; he was trusted by many of Hideyoshi's soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
16 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuroda Kanbei, he had just made his debut at the siege of Kanmuriyama Castle in Bitchu. He was praised for his wisdom and bravery, and for having the potential to&lt;br /&gt;
become a great general. During Araki Murashige's rebellion, Nobunaga saw his father's imprisonment as a betrayal and nearly killed him, but he escaped danger thanks to Takenaka Hanbei.&lt;br /&gt;
After Hanbei's death, Nagamasa came to admire the late Hanbei more than his father Kanbei, whose ambitions gradually became more apparent...&lt;br /&gt;
Among his fellow warlords, he was particularly close with Hosokawa Tadaoki...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
37 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's trusted adviser, known as &amp;quot;the greatest military strategist of all time.&amp;quot; His real name was Takataka.&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up to Takenaka Hanbei, now known as Komei, as his mentor, and learned from him his honesty and his versatile military strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when he went to Arioka Castle to persuade Araki Murashige to put an end to his rebellion, he was instead thrown into prison.&lt;br /&gt;
After nearly a year of imprisonment before being rescued, his legs became lame, and his great mentor Hanbei died of illness in the camp...&lt;br /&gt;
After much anguish... Kanbei began to raise his ambition to rule the world with his combined wisdom and strategy... What did he think of Mitsuhide's rebellion?!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 49&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is a feared ruler of the Warring States period known as the &amp;quot;Sixth Heavenly Demon King,&amp;quot; but deep in his heart he harbors a warm and abundant love.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he compares himself to Cao Cao and calls himself a &amp;quot;hero of turbulent times,&amp;quot; and chooses to walk a thorny path.&lt;br /&gt;
In his youth, he lulled those around him into a false sense of security by pretending to be &amp;quot;foolish,&amp;quot; and after inheriting the family headship, he&lt;br /&gt;
quickly unified Owari. From then on, he brought the turbulent times to an end with his precise and bold strategy, his brave and courageous military tactics, and his hidden &amp;quot;great power.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
With the long-awaited peace in sight, he secretly worries about sealing away his own talents, which could turn him into a wicked minister...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who will bring an end to the war?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
27 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a woman, Ujisato was adopted by Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;son-in-law&amp;quot; through political means.&lt;br /&gt;
Although her &amp;quot;womanhood&amp;quot; soon became public knowledge after her adoption, Ujisato's courage and intelligence made her very beloved by Nobunaga and his vassals, and she continued to be treated the same as a member of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She was a person of exceptional beauty, excelling in both literature and martial arts, and admired Nobunaga, who treated her as a son-in-law, calling him a &amp;quot;supple beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
She was a good friend and quarrelsome friend of Hori Hidemasa, who did not let Nobunaga be conscious of her being a woman.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a wise general who was praised as the pillar of the Rokkaku clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When his master's family was destroyed and Nobunaga came to Kyoto, he was the first to offer his daughter as a hostage to Nobunaga in an attempt to make peace.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when his daughter (later Ujisato) said, &amp;quot;As a son, I would like to be married by Lord Nobunaga,&amp;quot; he risked the destruction of his clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Nobunaga took a great liking to Ujisato, and he won the political battle.&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that when Ujisato &amp;quot;married into his family,&amp;quot; he entered the castle without any shame, and Nobunaga greeted him with a loud laugh.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
18 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second son of the Mori family, both brothers were expected to have bright futures.&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a page to Nobunaga along with his younger brothers, Bomaru and Chikaramaru, but Nobunaga especially loved Ranmaru's intelligence and made him his chief page.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga loved him and called him &amp;quot;O-Ran,&amp;quot; but because he always reads and acts one step ahead of Nobunaga's thoughts, he was often viewed&lt;br /&gt;
with suspicion by those around him. However, he admired Mitsuhide's knowledge and dignity, and secretly respected him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander who fell in love with Hideyoshi's charm and swore to become his brother.&lt;br /&gt;
(In reality, Hideyoshi had simply persuaded him, but he himself is unaware of this.)&lt;br /&gt;
He is younger than Hideyoshi, but as a long-time retainer of the Oda clan, he has a big attitude. He&lt;br /&gt;
is currently a central figure in the Ikeda clan, working under Tsuneoki, and is a pure warrior who charges into battle before anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
He seems to be drinking buddies with Maeda Keiji, and the two are often seen drinking together and chatting about spear fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
23 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsuneoki's second son, he is a military commander who inherited his father's bravery. His trademark is his tobacco pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager, he had no intention of inheriting the family estate, so he wandered aimlessly around the country.&lt;br /&gt;
He met people like Todo Takatora during his travels, and the two deepened their friendship, calling each other &amp;quot;mountain bandits&amp;quot; in contrast to Takatora's &amp;quot;pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps thanks to his travels around the country, he, like Takatora, was a warrior skilled in both the arts and martial arts, and also skilled in governing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
47 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of Nobunaga's wet nurse, he is also Nobunaga's foster brother, and has served by his side since before Nobunaga was called a &amp;quot;fool.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was young, he has always had scars from protecting Nobunaga with his own body when he was in danger, but he is proud of each scar as proof of his loyalty. He&lt;br /&gt;
is usually quiet, but when it matters most, Tsuneoki's honest words carry weight.&lt;br /&gt;
With his daughter Sen married Mori Nagayoshi, he serves as the guardian of the Mori family, looking after the Mori brothers both in the shadows and in the public eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a veteran retainer of the Oda clan, and is known as &amp;quot;Sumi&amp;quot; Katsusaburo, and is a match for Niwa &amp;quot;Yone&amp;quot; Goroza.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

26 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuki Yoshitaka, he is a true seaman, born and raised on the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
To him, the sea is an endless longing, the flag a marker for where he will die, and the ship an unrestrained soul.&lt;br /&gt;
Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;
As we'll see later, the drastic change in his facial structure... it's unclear whether it's genetic or whether he ate the evil fruit series.&lt;br /&gt;

41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

Nicknamed &amp;quot;Saru,&amp;quot; he was born to Kinoshita Yaemon, a foot soldier under Oda Nobuhide, and Naka, a farmer's daughter. He met Nobunaga at the age of 18 and began serving him as a minor, performing odd jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
His charm and drive steadily led him up the ranks, and nine years ago, when he first became the lord of a castle and province, he took the name &amp;quot;Hashiba,&amp;quot; taking one character from each of the surnames of his superiors, Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie.&lt;br /&gt;
However, five years earlier, he had provoked a fight with his superior, Katsuie, disguised as a tactical disagreement, and left the battlefield without permission. While he now ranks alongside his senior vassals, this was because he had hoped for even greater advancement. Then, when Matsunaga Hisahide rebelled, he successfully suppressed it, successfully securing the position of supreme commander in the Chugoku region.&lt;br /&gt;
With his devilishly quick mind, charming expressions and eloquence, and the drive to act without wasting a moment, he aims to become No. 2 to his beloved Nobunaga!&lt;br /&gt;

He left the Otomo clan with his father and after a period of wandering, began serving Hideyoshi as a page at the age of 16, where his keen talent was quickly recognized and he gained Hideyoshi's trust. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
because he was also a member of Hideyoshi's pages, he looked after Fukushima Masanori and Ishida Mitsunari well, and was very popular with them. He&lt;br /&gt;
was skilled in domestic affairs, but also showed great talent in military affairs, making him a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Ichimatsu, and he was known from an early age for his extraordinary strength.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 18, he participated in the invasion of Chugoku, demonstrating his fierce fighting spirit and competing for success with Kiyomasa, who was like a brother to him.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a brave and courageous man on the battlefield, straightforward and straightforward in nature, and also kind-hearted and easily moved to tears - the epitome of a strong and upright warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of Hideyoshi's retainers... a sort of gang leader, and would often tease and play around with Ishida Mitsunari, who was a former monk and weak in strength... although he apparently meant no harm...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Known as Toranosuke, he was one of Hideyoshi's retainers, raised under his father from an early age.&lt;br /&gt;
A large, young man with exceptional martial prowess and a keen sense of learning,&lt;br /&gt;
he admires Hideyoshi and his military strategist, Kanbei, and hopes to be able to assist them as a spearman.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to his efforts, he has been particularly successful recently, achieving great success as a lookout (scout) in the capture of Tottori Castle and being the first to land a spear in the attack on Bitchu Kanmuriyama Castle, earning him the envious gazes of his retainers, including Fukushima Masanori.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
57 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was originally a powerful clan leader in the Hachisuka district of Owari and the leader of a group of mercenaries known as the &amp;quot;Hachisuka Clan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's right-hand man, and had been infatuated with Nobunaga since the days of Tokichiro, demonstrating his skill as one of his advisors. On the other hand, he was cold towards Nobunaga, describing him as &amp;quot;a fierce general, but not a good one.&amp;quot; This is probably why, despite being a yoriki, he essentially worked under Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;
From his appearance, he may be thought of as a ronin, but in reality he was a brave, tactical and practical military commander, and he paid close attention to the city government within his territory. Nicknamed &amp;quot;the six-year-old man,&amp;quot; he was trusted by many of Hideyoshi's soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
16 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuroda Kanbei, he had just made his debut at the siege of Kanmuriyama Castle in Bitchu. He was praised for his wisdom and bravery, and for having the potential to&lt;br /&gt;
become a great general. During Araki Murashige's rebellion, Nobunaga saw his father's imprisonment as a betrayal and nearly killed him, but he escaped danger thanks to Takenaka Hanbei.&lt;br /&gt;
After Hanbei's death, Nagamasa came to admire the late Hanbei more than his father Kanbei, whose ambitions gradually became more apparent...&lt;br /&gt;
Among his fellow warlords, he was particularly close with Hosokawa Tadaoki...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
37 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's trusted adviser, known as &amp;quot;the greatest military strategist of all time.&amp;quot; His real name was Takataka.&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up to Takenaka Hanbei, now known as Komei, as his mentor, and learned from him his honesty and his versatile military strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when he went to Arioka Castle to persuade Araki Murashige to put an end to his rebellion, he was instead thrown into prison.&lt;br /&gt;
After nearly a year of imprisonment before being rescued, his legs became lame, and his great mentor Hanbei died of illness in the camp...&lt;br /&gt;
After much anguish... Kanbei began to raise his ambition to rule the world with his combined wisdom and strategy... What did he think of Mitsuhide's rebellion?!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 49&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is a feared ruler of the Warring States period known as the &amp;quot;Sixth Heavenly Demon King,&amp;quot; but deep in his heart he harbors a warm and abundant love.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he compares himself to Cao Cao and calls himself a &amp;quot;hero of turbulent times,&amp;quot; and chooses to walk a thorny path.&lt;br /&gt;
In his youth, he lulled those around him into a false sense of security by pretending to be &amp;quot;foolish,&amp;quot; and after inheriting the family headship, he&lt;br /&gt;
quickly unified Owari. From then on, he brought the turbulent times to an end with his precise and bold strategy, his brave and courageous military tactics, and his hidden &amp;quot;great power.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
With the long-awaited peace in sight, he secretly worries about sealing away his own talents, which could turn him into a wicked minister...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who will bring an end to the war?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
27 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a woman, Ujisato was adopted by Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;son-in-law&amp;quot; through political means.&lt;br /&gt;
Although her &amp;quot;womanhood&amp;quot; soon became public knowledge after her adoption, Ujisato's courage and intelligence made her very beloved by Nobunaga and his vassals, and she continued to be treated the same as a member of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She was a person of exceptional beauty, excelling in both literature and martial arts, and admired Nobunaga, who treated her as a son-in-law, calling him a &amp;quot;supple beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
She was a good friend and quarrelsome friend of Hori Hidemasa, who did not let Nobunaga be conscious of her being a woman.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a wise general who was praised as the pillar of the Rokkaku clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When his master's family was destroyed and Nobunaga came to Kyoto, he was the first to offer his daughter as a hostage to Nobunaga in an attempt to make peace.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when his daughter (later Ujisato) said, &amp;quot;As a son, I would like to be married by Lord Nobunaga,&amp;quot; he risked the destruction of his clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Nobunaga took a great liking to Ujisato, and he won the political battle.&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that when Ujisato &amp;quot;married into his family,&amp;quot; he entered the castle without any shame, and Nobunaga greeted him with a loud laugh.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
18 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second son of the Mori family, both brothers were expected to have bright futures.&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a page to Nobunaga along with his younger brothers, Bomaru and Chikaramaru, but Nobunaga especially loved Ranmaru's intelligence and made him his chief page.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga loved him and called him &amp;quot;O-Ran,&amp;quot; but because he always reads and acts one step ahead of Nobunaga's thoughts, he was often viewed&lt;br /&gt;
with suspicion by those around him. However, he admired Mitsuhide's knowledge and dignity, and secretly respected him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander who fell in love with Hideyoshi's charm and swore to become his brother.&lt;br /&gt;
(In reality, Hideyoshi had simply persuaded him, but he himself is unaware of this.)&lt;br /&gt;
He is younger than Hideyoshi, but as a long-time retainer of the Oda clan, he has a big attitude. He&lt;br /&gt;
is currently a central figure in the Ikeda clan, working under Tsuneoki, and is a pure warrior who charges into battle before anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
He seems to be drinking buddies with Maeda Keiji, and the two are often seen drinking together and chatting about spear fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
23 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsuneoki's second son, he is a military commander who inherited his father's bravery. His trademark is his tobacco pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager, he had no intention of inheriting the family estate, so he wandered aimlessly around the country.&lt;br /&gt;
He met people like Todo Takatora during his travels, and the two deepened their friendship, calling each other &amp;quot;mountain bandits&amp;quot; in contrast to Takatora's &amp;quot;pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps thanks to his travels around the country, he, like Takatora, was a warrior skilled in both the arts and martial arts, and also skilled in governing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
47 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of Nobunaga's wet nurse, he is also Nobunaga's foster brother, and has served by his side since before Nobunaga was called a &amp;quot;fool.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was young, he has always had scars from protecting Nobunaga with his own body when he was in danger, but he is proud of each scar as proof of his loyalty. He&lt;br /&gt;
is usually quiet, but when it matters most, Tsuneoki's honest words carry weight.&lt;br /&gt;
With his daughter Sen married Mori Nagayoshi, he serves as the guardian of the Mori family, looking after the Mori brothers both in the shadows and in the public eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a veteran retainer of the Oda clan, and is known as &amp;quot;Sumi&amp;quot; Katsusaburo, and is a match for Niwa &amp;quot;Yone&amp;quot; Goroza.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

48 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

26 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuki Yoshitaka, he is a true seaman, born and raised on the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
To him, the sea is an endless longing, the flag a marker for where he will die, and the ship an unrestrained soul.&lt;br /&gt;
Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;
As we'll see later, the drastic change in his facial structure... it's unclear whether it's genetic or whether he ate the evil fruit series.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 46&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nicknamed &amp;quot;Saru,&amp;quot; he was born to Kinoshita Yaemon, a foot soldier under Oda Nobuhide, and Naka, a farmer's daughter. He met Nobunaga at the age of 18 and began serving him as a minor, performing odd jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
His charm and drive steadily led him up the ranks, and nine years ago, when he first became the lord of a castle and province, he took the name &amp;quot;Hashiba,&amp;quot; taking one character from each of the surnames of his superiors, Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie.&lt;br /&gt;
However, five years earlier, he had provoked a fight with his superior, Katsuie, disguised as a tactical disagreement, and left the battlefield without permission. While he now ranks alongside his senior vassals, this was because he had hoped for even greater advancement. Then, when Matsunaga Hisahide rebelled, he successfully suppressed it, successfully securing the position of supreme commander in the Chugoku region.&lt;br /&gt;
With his devilishly quick mind, charming expressions and eloquence, and the drive to act without wasting a moment, he aims to become No. 2 to his beloved Nobunaga!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Katsuramatsu, later Kinosuke. He was the son of Otani Moriharu, a vassal of Otomo Sorin.&lt;br /&gt;
He left the Otomo clan with his father and after a period of wandering, began serving Hideyoshi as a page at the age of 16, where his keen talent was quickly recognized and he gained Hideyoshi's trust. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
because he was also a member of Hideyoshi's pages, he looked after Fukushima Masanori and Ishida Mitsunari well, and was very popular with them. He&lt;br /&gt;
was skilled in domestic affairs, but also showed great talent in military affairs, making him a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Ichimatsu, and he was known from an early age for his extraordinary strength.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 18, he participated in the invasion of Chugoku, demonstrating his fierce fighting spirit and competing for success with Kiyomasa, who was like a brother to him.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a brave and courageous man on the battlefield, straightforward and straightforward in nature, and also kind-hearted and easily moved to tears - the epitome of a strong and upright warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of Hideyoshi's retainers... a sort of gang leader, and would often tease and play around with Ishida Mitsunari, who was a former monk and weak in strength... although he apparently meant no harm...&lt;br /&gt;

A large, young man with exceptional martial prowess and a keen sense of learning,&lt;br /&gt;
he admires Hideyoshi and his military strategist, Kanbei, and hopes to be able to assist them as a spearman.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to his efforts, he has been particularly successful recently, achieving great success as a lookout (scout) in the capture of Tottori Castle and being the first to land a spear in the attack on Bitchu Kanmuriyama Castle, earning him the envious gazes of his retainers, including Fukushima Masanori.&lt;br /&gt;

He was Hideyoshi's right-hand man, and had been infatuated with Nobunaga since the days of Tokichiro, demonstrating his skill as one of his advisors. On the other hand, he was cold towards Nobunaga, describing him as &amp;quot;a fierce general, but not a good one.&amp;quot; This is probably why, despite being a yoriki, he essentially worked under Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;
From his appearance, he may be thought of as a ronin, but in reality he was a brave, tactical and practical military commander, and he paid close attention to the city government within his territory. Nicknamed &amp;quot;the six-year-old man,&amp;quot; he was trusted by many of Hideyoshi's soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
16 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuroda Kanbei, he had just made his debut at the siege of Kanmuriyama Castle in Bitchu. He was praised for his wisdom and bravery, and for having the potential to&lt;br /&gt;
become a great general. During Araki Murashige's rebellion, Nobunaga saw his father's imprisonment as a betrayal and nearly killed him, but he escaped danger thanks to Takenaka Hanbei.&lt;br /&gt;
After Hanbei's death, Nagamasa came to admire the late Hanbei more than his father Kanbei, whose ambitions gradually became more apparent...&lt;br /&gt;
Among his fellow warlords, he was particularly close with Hosokawa Tadaoki...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
37 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's trusted adviser, known as &amp;quot;the greatest military strategist of all time.&amp;quot; His real name was Takataka.&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up to Takenaka Hanbei, now known as Komei, as his mentor, and learned from him his honesty and his versatile military strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when he went to Arioka Castle to persuade Araki Murashige to put an end to his rebellion, he was instead thrown into prison.&lt;br /&gt;
After nearly a year of imprisonment before being rescued, his legs became lame, and his great mentor Hanbei died of illness in the camp...&lt;br /&gt;
After much anguish... Kanbei began to raise his ambition to rule the world with his combined wisdom and strategy... What did he think of Mitsuhide's rebellion?!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 49&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is a feared ruler of the Warring States period known as the &amp;quot;Sixth Heavenly Demon King,&amp;quot; but deep in his heart he harbors a warm and abundant love.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he compares himself to Cao Cao and calls himself a &amp;quot;hero of turbulent times,&amp;quot; and chooses to walk a thorny path.&lt;br /&gt;
In his youth, he lulled those around him into a false sense of security by pretending to be &amp;quot;foolish,&amp;quot; and after inheriting the family headship, he&lt;br /&gt;
quickly unified Owari. From then on, he brought the turbulent times to an end with his precise and bold strategy, his brave and courageous military tactics, and his hidden &amp;quot;great power.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
With the long-awaited peace in sight, he secretly worries about sealing away his own talents, which could turn him into a wicked minister...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who will bring an end to the war?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
27 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a woman, Ujisato was adopted by Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;son-in-law&amp;quot; through political means.&lt;br /&gt;
Although her &amp;quot;womanhood&amp;quot; soon became public knowledge after her adoption, Ujisato's courage and intelligence made her very beloved by Nobunaga and his vassals, and she continued to be treated the same as a member of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She was a person of exceptional beauty, excelling in both literature and martial arts, and admired Nobunaga, who treated her as a son-in-law, calling him a &amp;quot;supple beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
She was a good friend and quarrelsome friend of Hori Hidemasa, who did not let Nobunaga be conscious of her being a woman.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a wise general who was praised as the pillar of the Rokkaku clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When his master's family was destroyed and Nobunaga came to Kyoto, he was the first to offer his daughter as a hostage to Nobunaga in an attempt to make peace.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when his daughter (later Ujisato) said, &amp;quot;As a son, I would like to be married by Lord Nobunaga,&amp;quot; he risked the destruction of his clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Nobunaga took a great liking to Ujisato, and he won the political battle.&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that when Ujisato &amp;quot;married into his family,&amp;quot; he entered the castle without any shame, and Nobunaga greeted him with a loud laugh.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
18 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second son of the Mori family, both brothers were expected to have bright futures.&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a page to Nobunaga along with his younger brothers, Bomaru and Chikaramaru, but Nobunaga especially loved Ranmaru's intelligence and made him his chief page.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga loved him and called him &amp;quot;O-Ran,&amp;quot; but because he always reads and acts one step ahead of Nobunaga's thoughts, he was often viewed&lt;br /&gt;
with suspicion by those around him. However, he admired Mitsuhide's knowledge and dignity, and secretly respected him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander who fell in love with Hideyoshi's charm and swore to become his brother.&lt;br /&gt;
(In reality, Hideyoshi had simply persuaded him, but he himself is unaware of this.)&lt;br /&gt;
He is younger than Hideyoshi, but as a long-time retainer of the Oda clan, he has a big attitude. He&lt;br /&gt;
is currently a central figure in the Ikeda clan, working under Tsuneoki, and is a pure warrior who charges into battle before anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
He seems to be drinking buddies with Maeda Keiji, and the two are often seen drinking together and chatting about spear fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
23 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsuneoki's second son, he is a military commander who inherited his father's bravery. His trademark is his tobacco pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager, he had no intention of inheriting the family estate, so he wandered aimlessly around the country.&lt;br /&gt;
He met people like Todo Takatora during his travels, and the two deepened their friendship, calling each other &amp;quot;mountain bandits&amp;quot; in contrast to Takatora's &amp;quot;pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps thanks to his travels around the country, he, like Takatora, was a warrior skilled in both the arts and martial arts, and also skilled in governing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
47 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of Nobunaga's wet nurse, he is also Nobunaga's foster brother, and has served by his side since before Nobunaga was called a &amp;quot;fool.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was young, he has always had scars from protecting Nobunaga with his own body when he was in danger, but he is proud of each scar as proof of his loyalty. He&lt;br /&gt;
is usually quiet, but when it matters most, Tsuneoki's honest words carry weight.&lt;br /&gt;
With his daughter Sen married Mori Nagayoshi, he serves as the guardian of the Mori family, looking after the Mori brothers both in the shadows and in the public eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a veteran retainer of the Oda clan, and is known as &amp;quot;Sumi&amp;quot; Katsusaburo, and is a match for Niwa &amp;quot;Yone&amp;quot; Goroza.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

26 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuki Yoshitaka, he is a true seaman, born and raised on the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
To him, the sea is an endless longing, the flag a marker for where he will die, and the ship an unrestrained soul.&lt;br /&gt;
Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;
As we'll see later, the drastic change in his facial structure... it's unclear whether it's genetic or whether he ate the evil fruit series.&lt;br /&gt;

41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 46&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nicknamed &amp;quot;Saru,&amp;quot; he was born to Kinoshita Yaemon, a foot soldier under Oda Nobuhide, and Naka, a farmer's daughter. He met Nobunaga at the age of 18 and began serving him as a minor, performing odd jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
His charm and drive steadily led him up the ranks, and nine years ago, when he first became the lord of a castle and province, he took the name &amp;quot;Hashiba,&amp;quot; taking one character from each of the surnames of his superiors, Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie.&lt;br /&gt;
However, five years earlier, he had provoked a fight with his superior, Katsuie, disguised as a tactical disagreement, and left the battlefield without permission. While he now ranks alongside his senior vassals, this was because he had hoped for even greater advancement. Then, when Matsunaga Hisahide rebelled, he successfully suppressed it, successfully securing the position of supreme commander in the Chugoku region.&lt;br /&gt;
With his devilishly quick mind, charming expressions and eloquence, and the drive to act without wasting a moment, he aims to become No. 2 to his beloved Nobunaga!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Katsuramatsu, later Kinosuke. He was the son of Otani Moriharu, a vassal of Otomo Sorin.&lt;br /&gt;
He left the Otomo clan with his father and after a period of wandering, began serving Hideyoshi as a page at the age of 16, where his keen talent was quickly recognized and he gained Hideyoshi's trust. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
because he was also a member of Hideyoshi's pages, he looked after Fukushima Masanori and Ishida Mitsunari well, and was very popular with them. He&lt;br /&gt;
was skilled in domestic affairs, but also showed great talent in military affairs, making him a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Ichimatsu, and he was known from an early age for his extraordinary strength.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 18, he participated in the invasion of Chugoku, demonstrating his fierce fighting spirit and competing for success with Kiyomasa, who was like a brother to him.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a brave and courageous man on the battlefield, straightforward and straightforward in nature, and also kind-hearted and easily moved to tears - the epitome of a strong and upright warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of Hideyoshi's retainers... a sort of gang leader, and would often tease and play around with Ishida Mitsunari, who was a former monk and weak in strength... although he apparently meant no harm...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Known as Toranosuke, he was one of Hideyoshi's retainers, raised under his father from an early age.&lt;br /&gt;
A large, young man with exceptional martial prowess and a keen sense of learning,&lt;br /&gt;
he admires Hideyoshi and his military strategist, Kanbei, and hopes to be able to assist them as a spearman.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to his efforts, he has been particularly successful recently, achieving great success as a lookout (scout) in the capture of Tottori Castle and being the first to land a spear in the attack on Bitchu Kanmuriyama Castle, earning him the envious gazes of his retainers, including Fukushima Masanori.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was originally a powerful clan leader in the Hachisuka district of Owari and the leader of a group of mercenaries known as the &amp;quot;Hachisuka Clan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's right-hand man, and had been infatuated with Nobunaga since the days of Tokichiro, demonstrating his skill as one of his advisors. On the other hand, he was cold towards Nobunaga, describing him as &amp;quot;a fierce general, but not a good one.&amp;quot; This is probably why, despite being a yoriki, he essentially worked under Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;
From his appearance, he may be thought of as a ronin, but in reality he was a brave, tactical and practical military commander, and he paid close attention to the city government within his territory. Nicknamed &amp;quot;the six-year-old man,&amp;quot; he was trusted by many of Hideyoshi's soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuroda Kanbei, he had just made his debut at the siege of Kanmuriyama Castle in Bitchu. He was praised for his wisdom and bravery, and for having the potential to&lt;br /&gt;
become a great general. During Araki Murashige's rebellion, Nobunaga saw his father's imprisonment as a betrayal and nearly killed him, but he escaped danger thanks to Takenaka Hanbei.&lt;br /&gt;
After Hanbei's death, Nagamasa came to admire the late Hanbei more than his father Kanbei, whose ambitions gradually became more apparent...&lt;br /&gt;
Among his fellow warlords, he was particularly close with Hosokawa Tadaoki...&lt;br /&gt;

37 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's trusted adviser, known as &amp;quot;the greatest military strategist of all time.&amp;quot; His real name was Takataka.&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up to Takenaka Hanbei, now known as Komei, as his mentor, and learned from him his honesty and his versatile military strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when he went to Arioka Castle to persuade Araki Murashige to put an end to his rebellion, he was instead thrown into prison.&lt;br /&gt;
After nearly a year of imprisonment before being rescued, his legs became lame, and his great mentor Hanbei died of illness in the camp...&lt;br /&gt;
After much anguish... Kanbei began to raise his ambition to rule the world with his combined wisdom and strategy... What did he think of Mitsuhide's rebellion?!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 49&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is a feared ruler of the Warring States period known as the &amp;quot;Sixth Heavenly Demon King,&amp;quot; but deep in his heart he harbors a warm and abundant love.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he compares himself to Cao Cao and calls himself a &amp;quot;hero of turbulent times,&amp;quot; and chooses to walk a thorny path.&lt;br /&gt;
In his youth, he lulled those around him into a false sense of security by pretending to be &amp;quot;foolish,&amp;quot; and after inheriting the family headship, he&lt;br /&gt;
quickly unified Owari. From then on, he brought the turbulent times to an end with his precise and bold strategy, his brave and courageous military tactics, and his hidden &amp;quot;great power.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
With the long-awaited peace in sight, he secretly worries about sealing away his own talents, which could turn him into a wicked minister...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who will bring an end to the war?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
27 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a woman, Ujisato was adopted by Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;son-in-law&amp;quot; through political means.&lt;br /&gt;
Although her &amp;quot;womanhood&amp;quot; soon became public knowledge after her adoption, Ujisato's courage and intelligence made her very beloved by Nobunaga and his vassals, and she continued to be treated the same as a member of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She was a person of exceptional beauty, excelling in both literature and martial arts, and admired Nobunaga, who treated her as a son-in-law, calling him a &amp;quot;supple beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
She was a good friend and quarrelsome friend of Hori Hidemasa, who did not let Nobunaga be conscious of her being a woman.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a wise general who was praised as the pillar of the Rokkaku clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When his master's family was destroyed and Nobunaga came to Kyoto, he was the first to offer his daughter as a hostage to Nobunaga in an attempt to make peace.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when his daughter (later Ujisato) said, &amp;quot;As a son, I would like to be married by Lord Nobunaga,&amp;quot; he risked the destruction of his clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Nobunaga took a great liking to Ujisato, and he won the political battle.&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that when Ujisato &amp;quot;married into his family,&amp;quot; he entered the castle without any shame, and Nobunaga greeted him with a loud laugh.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
18 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second son of the Mori family, both brothers were expected to have bright futures.&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a page to Nobunaga along with his younger brothers, Bomaru and Chikaramaru, but Nobunaga especially loved Ranmaru's intelligence and made him his chief page.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga loved him and called him &amp;quot;O-Ran,&amp;quot; but because he always reads and acts one step ahead of Nobunaga's thoughts, he was often viewed&lt;br /&gt;
with suspicion by those around him. However, he admired Mitsuhide's knowledge and dignity, and secretly respected him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander who fell in love with Hideyoshi's charm and swore to become his brother.&lt;br /&gt;
(In reality, Hideyoshi had simply persuaded him, but he himself is unaware of this.)&lt;br /&gt;
He is younger than Hideyoshi, but as a long-time retainer of the Oda clan, he has a big attitude. He&lt;br /&gt;
is currently a central figure in the Ikeda clan, working under Tsuneoki, and is a pure warrior who charges into battle before anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
He seems to be drinking buddies with Maeda Keiji, and the two are often seen drinking together and chatting about spear fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
23 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsuneoki's second son, he is a military commander who inherited his father's bravery. His trademark is his tobacco pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager, he had no intention of inheriting the family estate, so he wandered aimlessly around the country.&lt;br /&gt;
He met people like Todo Takatora during his travels, and the two deepened their friendship, calling each other &amp;quot;mountain bandits&amp;quot; in contrast to Takatora's &amp;quot;pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps thanks to his travels around the country, he, like Takatora, was a warrior skilled in both the arts and martial arts, and also skilled in governing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
47 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of Nobunaga's wet nurse, he is also Nobunaga's foster brother, and has served by his side since before Nobunaga was called a &amp;quot;fool.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was young, he has always had scars from protecting Nobunaga with his own body when he was in danger, but he is proud of each scar as proof of his loyalty. He&lt;br /&gt;
is usually quiet, but when it matters most, Tsuneoki's honest words carry weight.&lt;br /&gt;
With his daughter Sen married Mori Nagayoshi, he serves as the guardian of the Mori family, looking after the Mori brothers both in the shadows and in the public eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a veteran retainer of the Oda clan, and is known as &amp;quot;Sumi&amp;quot; Katsusaburo, and is a match for Niwa &amp;quot;Yone&amp;quot; Goroza.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

26 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuki Yoshitaka, he is a true seaman, born and raised on the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
To him, the sea is an endless longing, the flag a marker for where he will die, and the ship an unrestrained soul.&lt;br /&gt;
Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;
As we'll see later, the drastic change in his facial structure... it's unclear whether it's genetic or whether he ate the evil fruit series.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 46&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nicknamed &amp;quot;Saru,&amp;quot; he was born to Kinoshita Yaemon, a foot soldier under Oda Nobuhide, and Naka, a farmer's daughter. He met Nobunaga at the age of 18 and began serving him as a minor, performing odd jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
His charm and drive steadily led him up the ranks, and nine years ago, when he first became the lord of a castle and province, he took the name &amp;quot;Hashiba,&amp;quot; taking one character from each of the surnames of his superiors, Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie.&lt;br /&gt;
However, five years earlier, he had provoked a fight with his superior, Katsuie, disguised as a tactical disagreement, and left the battlefield without permission. While he now ranks alongside his senior vassals, this was because he had hoped for even greater advancement. Then, when Matsunaga Hisahide rebelled, he successfully suppressed it, successfully securing the position of supreme commander in the Chugoku region.&lt;br /&gt;
With his devilishly quick mind, charming expressions and eloquence, and the drive to act without wasting a moment, he aims to become No. 2 to his beloved Nobunaga!&lt;br /&gt;

24 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Katsuramatsu, later Kinosuke. He was the son of Otani Moriharu, a vassal of Otomo Sorin.&lt;br /&gt;
He left the Otomo clan with his father and after a period of wandering, began serving Hideyoshi as a page at the age of 16, where his keen talent was quickly recognized and he gained Hideyoshi's trust. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
because he was also a member of Hideyoshi's pages, he looked after Fukushima Masanori and Ishida Mitsunari well, and was very popular with them. He&lt;br /&gt;
was skilled in domestic affairs, but also showed great talent in military affairs, making him a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;

22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Ichimatsu, and he was known from an early age for his extraordinary strength.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 18, he participated in the invasion of Chugoku, demonstrating his fierce fighting spirit and competing for success with Kiyomasa, who was like a brother to him.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a brave and courageous man on the battlefield, straightforward and straightforward in nature, and also kind-hearted and easily moved to tears - the epitome of a strong and upright warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of Hideyoshi's retainers... a sort of gang leader, and would often tease and play around with Ishida Mitsunari, who was a former monk and weak in strength... although he apparently meant no harm...&lt;br /&gt;

21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Known as Toranosuke, he was one of Hideyoshi's retainers, raised under his father from an early age.&lt;br /&gt;
A large, young man with exceptional martial prowess and a keen sense of learning,&lt;br /&gt;
he admires Hideyoshi and his military strategist, Kanbei, and hopes to be able to assist them as a spearman.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to his efforts, he has been particularly successful recently, achieving great success as a lookout (scout) in the capture of Tottori Castle and being the first to land a spear in the attack on Bitchu Kanmuriyama Castle, earning him the envious gazes of his retainers, including Fukushima Masanori.&lt;br /&gt;

57 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was originally a powerful clan leader in the Hachisuka district of Owari and the leader of a group of mercenaries known as the &amp;quot;Hachisuka Clan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's right-hand man, and had been infatuated with Nobunaga since the days of Tokichiro, demonstrating his skill as one of his advisors. On the other hand, he was cold towards Nobunaga, describing him as &amp;quot;a fierce general, but not a good one.&amp;quot; This is probably why, despite being a yoriki, he essentially worked under Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;
From his appearance, he may be thought of as a ronin, but in reality he was a brave, tactical and practical military commander, and he paid close attention to the city government within his territory. Nicknamed &amp;quot;the six-year-old man,&amp;quot; he was trusted by many of Hideyoshi's soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
16 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuroda Kanbei, he had just made his debut at the siege of Kanmuriyama Castle in Bitchu. He was praised for his wisdom and bravery, and for having the potential to&lt;br /&gt;
become a great general. During Araki Murashige's rebellion, Nobunaga saw his father's imprisonment as a betrayal and nearly killed him, but he escaped danger thanks to Takenaka Hanbei.&lt;br /&gt;
After Hanbei's death, Nagamasa came to admire the late Hanbei more than his father Kanbei, whose ambitions gradually became more apparent...&lt;br /&gt;
Among his fellow warlords, he was particularly close with Hosokawa Tadaoki...&lt;br /&gt;

37 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's trusted adviser, known as &amp;quot;the greatest military strategist of all time.&amp;quot; His real name was Takataka.&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up to Takenaka Hanbei, now known as Komei, as his mentor, and learned from him his honesty and his versatile military strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when he went to Arioka Castle to persuade Araki Murashige to put an end to his rebellion, he was instead thrown into prison.&lt;br /&gt;
After nearly a year of imprisonment before being rescued, his legs became lame, and his great mentor Hanbei died of illness in the camp...&lt;br /&gt;
After much anguish... Kanbei began to raise his ambition to rule the world with his combined wisdom and strategy... What did he think of Mitsuhide's rebellion?!&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 49&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is a feared ruler of the Warring States period known as the &amp;quot;Sixth Heavenly Demon King,&amp;quot; but deep in his heart he harbors a warm and abundant love.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he compares himself to Cao Cao and calls himself a &amp;quot;hero of turbulent times,&amp;quot; and chooses to walk a thorny path.&lt;br /&gt;
In his youth, he lulled those around him into a false sense of security by pretending to be &amp;quot;foolish,&amp;quot; and after inheriting the family headship, he&lt;br /&gt;
quickly unified Owari. From then on, he brought the turbulent times to an end with his precise and bold strategy, his brave and courageous military tactics, and his hidden &amp;quot;great power.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
With the long-awaited peace in sight, he secretly worries about sealing away his own talents, which could turn him into a wicked minister...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a woman, Ujisato was adopted by Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;son-in-law&amp;quot; through political means.&lt;br /&gt;
Although her &amp;quot;womanhood&amp;quot; soon became public knowledge after her adoption, Ujisato's courage and intelligence made her very beloved by Nobunaga and his vassals, and she continued to be treated the same as a member of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She was a person of exceptional beauty, excelling in both literature and martial arts, and admired Nobunaga, who treated her as a son-in-law, calling him a &amp;quot;supple beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
She was a good friend and quarrelsome friend of Hori Hidemasa, who did not let Nobunaga be conscious of her being a woman.&lt;br /&gt;

49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a wise general who was praised as the pillar of the Rokkaku clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When his master's family was destroyed and Nobunaga came to Kyoto, he was the first to offer his daughter as a hostage to Nobunaga in an attempt to make peace.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when his daughter (later Ujisato) said, &amp;quot;As a son, I would like to be married by Lord Nobunaga,&amp;quot; he risked the destruction of his clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Nobunaga took a great liking to Ujisato, and he won the political battle.&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that when Ujisato &amp;quot;married into his family,&amp;quot; he entered the castle without any shame, and Nobunaga greeted him with a loud laugh.&lt;br /&gt;

He served as a page to Nobunaga along with his younger brothers, Bomaru and Chikaramaru, but Nobunaga especially loved Ranmaru's intelligence and made him his chief page.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga loved him and called him &amp;quot;O-Ran,&amp;quot; but because he always reads and acts one step ahead of Nobunaga's thoughts, he was often viewed&lt;br /&gt;
with suspicion by those around him. However, he admired Mitsuhide's knowledge and dignity, and secretly respected him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander who fell in love with Hideyoshi's charm and swore to become his brother.&lt;br /&gt;
(In reality, Hideyoshi had simply persuaded him, but he himself is unaware of this.)&lt;br /&gt;
He is younger than Hideyoshi, but as a long-time retainer of the Oda clan, he has a big attitude. He&lt;br /&gt;
is currently a central figure in the Ikeda clan, working under Tsuneoki, and is a pure warrior who charges into battle before anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
He seems to be drinking buddies with Maeda Keiji, and the two are often seen drinking together and chatting about spear fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
23 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsuneoki's second son, he is a military commander who inherited his father's bravery. His trademark is his tobacco pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager, he had no intention of inheriting the family estate, so he wandered aimlessly around the country.&lt;br /&gt;
He met people like Todo Takatora during his travels, and the two deepened their friendship, calling each other &amp;quot;mountain bandits&amp;quot; in contrast to Takatora's &amp;quot;pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps thanks to his travels around the country, he, like Takatora, was a warrior skilled in both the arts and martial arts, and also skilled in governing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
47 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of Nobunaga's wet nurse, he is also Nobunaga's foster brother, and has served by his side since before Nobunaga was called a &amp;quot;fool.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was young, he has always had scars from protecting Nobunaga with his own body when he was in danger, but he is proud of each scar as proof of his loyalty. He&lt;br /&gt;
is usually quiet, but when it matters most, Tsuneoki's honest words carry weight.&lt;br /&gt;
With his daughter Sen married Mori Nagayoshi, he serves as the guardian of the Mori family, looking after the Mori brothers both in the shadows and in the public eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a veteran retainer of the Oda clan, and is known as &amp;quot;Sumi&amp;quot; Katsusaburo, and is a match for Niwa &amp;quot;Yone&amp;quot; Goroza.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

48 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
26 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuki Yoshitaka, he is a true seaman, born and raised on the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
To him, the sea is an endless longing, the flag a marker for where he will die, and the ship an unrestrained soul.&lt;br /&gt;
Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;
As we'll see later, the drastic change in his facial structure... it's unclear whether it's genetic or whether he ate the evil fruit series.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 46&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nicknamed &amp;quot;Saru,&amp;quot; he was born to Kinoshita Yaemon, a foot soldier under Oda Nobuhide, and Naka, a farmer's daughter. He met Nobunaga at the age of 18 and began serving him as a minor, performing odd jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
His charm and drive steadily led him up the ranks, and nine years ago, when he first became the lord of a castle and province, he took the name &amp;quot;Hashiba,&amp;quot; taking one character from each of the surnames of his superiors, Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie.&lt;br /&gt;
However, five years earlier, he had provoked a fight with his superior, Katsuie, disguised as a tactical disagreement, and left the battlefield without permission. While he now ranks alongside his senior vassals, this was because he had hoped for even greater advancement. Then, when Matsunaga Hisahide rebelled, he successfully suppressed it, successfully securing the position of supreme commander in the Chugoku region.&lt;br /&gt;
With his devilishly quick mind, charming expressions and eloquence, and the drive to act without wasting a moment, he aims to become No. 2 to his beloved Nobunaga!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
24 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Katsuramatsu, later Kinosuke. He was the son of Otani Moriharu, a vassal of Otomo Sorin.&lt;br /&gt;
He left the Otomo clan with his father and after a period of wandering, began serving Hideyoshi as a page at the age of 16, where his keen talent was quickly recognized and he gained Hideyoshi's trust. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
because he was also a member of Hideyoshi's pages, he looked after Fukushima Masanori and Ishida Mitsunari well, and was very popular with them. He&lt;br /&gt;
was skilled in domestic affairs, but also showed great talent in military affairs, making him a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Ichimatsu, and he was known from an early age for his extraordinary strength.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 18, he participated in the invasion of Chugoku, demonstrating his fierce fighting spirit and competing for success with Kiyomasa, who was like a brother to him.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a brave and courageous man on the battlefield, straightforward and straightforward in nature, and also kind-hearted and easily moved to tears - the epitome of a strong and upright warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of Hideyoshi's retainers... a sort of gang leader, and would often tease and play around with Ishida Mitsunari, who was a former monk and weak in strength... although he apparently meant no harm...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Known as Toranosuke, he was one of Hideyoshi's retainers, raised under his father from an early age.&lt;br /&gt;
A large, young man with exceptional martial prowess and a keen sense of learning,&lt;br /&gt;
he admires Hideyoshi and his military strategist, Kanbei, and hopes to be able to assist them as a spearman.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to his efforts, he has been particularly successful recently, achieving great success as a lookout (scout) in the capture of Tottori Castle and being the first to land a spear in the attack on Bitchu Kanmuriyama Castle, earning him the envious gazes of his retainers, including Fukushima Masanori.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
57 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was originally a powerful clan leader in the Hachisuka district of Owari and the leader of a group of mercenaries known as the &amp;quot;Hachisuka Clan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's right-hand man, and had been infatuated with Nobunaga since the days of Tokichiro, demonstrating his skill as one of his advisors. On the other hand, he was cold towards Nobunaga, describing him as &amp;quot;a fierce general, but not a good one.&amp;quot; This is probably why, despite being a yoriki, he essentially worked under Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;
From his appearance, he may be thought of as a ronin, but in reality he was a brave, tactical and practical military commander, and he paid close attention to the city government within his territory. Nicknamed &amp;quot;the six-year-old man,&amp;quot; he was trusted by many of Hideyoshi's soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
16 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuroda Kanbei, he had just made his debut at the siege of Kanmuriyama Castle in Bitchu. He was praised for his wisdom and bravery, and for having the potential to&lt;br /&gt;
become a great general. During Araki Murashige's rebellion, Nobunaga saw his father's imprisonment as a betrayal and nearly killed him, but he escaped danger thanks to Takenaka Hanbei.&lt;br /&gt;
After Hanbei's death, Nagamasa came to admire the late Hanbei more than his father Kanbei, whose ambitions gradually became more apparent...&lt;br /&gt;
Among his fellow warlords, he was particularly close with Hosokawa Tadaoki...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
37 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's trusted adviser, known as &amp;quot;the greatest military strategist of all time.&amp;quot; His real name was Takataka.&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up to Takenaka Hanbei, now known as Komei, as his mentor, and learned from him his honesty and his versatile military strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when he went to Arioka Castle to persuade Araki Murashige to put an end to his rebellion, he was instead thrown into prison.&lt;br /&gt;
After nearly a year of imprisonment before being rescued, his legs became lame, and his great mentor Hanbei died of illness in the camp...&lt;br /&gt;
After much anguish... Kanbei began to raise his ambition to rule the world with his combined wisdom and strategy... What did he think of Mitsuhide's rebellion?!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 49&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is a feared ruler of the Warring States period known as the &amp;quot;Sixth Heavenly Demon King,&amp;quot; but deep in his heart he harbors a warm and abundant love.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he compares himself to Cao Cao and calls himself a &amp;quot;hero of turbulent times,&amp;quot; and chooses to walk a thorny path.&lt;br /&gt;
In his youth, he lulled those around him into a false sense of security by pretending to be &amp;quot;foolish,&amp;quot; and after inheriting the family headship, he&lt;br /&gt;
quickly unified Owari. From then on, he brought the turbulent times to an end with his precise and bold strategy, his brave and courageous military tactics, and his hidden &amp;quot;great power.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
With the long-awaited peace in sight, he secretly worries about sealing away his own talents, which could turn him into a wicked minister...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who will bring an end to the war?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
27 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a woman, Ujisato was adopted by Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;son-in-law&amp;quot; through political means.&lt;br /&gt;
Although her &amp;quot;womanhood&amp;quot; soon became public knowledge after her adoption, Ujisato's courage and intelligence made her very beloved by Nobunaga and his vassals, and she continued to be treated the same as a member of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She was a person of exceptional beauty, excelling in both literature and martial arts, and admired Nobunaga, who treated her as a son-in-law, calling him a &amp;quot;supple beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
She was a good friend and quarrelsome friend of Hori Hidemasa, who did not let Nobunaga be conscious of her being a woman.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a wise general who was praised as the pillar of the Rokkaku clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When his master's family was destroyed and Nobunaga came to Kyoto, he was the first to offer his daughter as a hostage to Nobunaga in an attempt to make peace.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when his daughter (later Ujisato) said, &amp;quot;As a son, I would like to be married by Lord Nobunaga,&amp;quot; he risked the destruction of his clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Nobunaga took a great liking to Ujisato, and he won the political battle.&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that when Ujisato &amp;quot;married into his family,&amp;quot; he entered the castle without any shame, and Nobunaga greeted him with a loud laugh.&lt;br /&gt;

18 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second son of the Mori family, both brothers were expected to have bright futures.&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a page to Nobunaga along with his younger brothers, Bomaru and Chikaramaru, but Nobunaga especially loved Ranmaru's intelligence and made him his chief page.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga loved him and called him &amp;quot;O-Ran,&amp;quot; but because he always reads and acts one step ahead of Nobunaga's thoughts, he was often viewed&lt;br /&gt;
with suspicion by those around him. However, he admired Mitsuhide's knowledge and dignity, and secretly respected him.&lt;br /&gt;

41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander who fell in love with Hideyoshi's charm and swore to become his brother.&lt;br /&gt;
(In reality, Hideyoshi had simply persuaded him, but he himself is unaware of this.)&lt;br /&gt;
He is younger than Hideyoshi, but as a long-time retainer of the Oda clan, he has a big attitude. He&lt;br /&gt;
is currently a central figure in the Ikeda clan, working under Tsuneoki, and is a pure warrior who charges into battle before anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
He seems to be drinking buddies with Maeda Keiji, and the two are often seen drinking together and chatting about spear fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
23 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsuneoki's second son, he is a military commander who inherited his father's bravery. His trademark is his tobacco pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager, he had no intention of inheriting the family estate, so he wandered aimlessly around the country.&lt;br /&gt;
He met people like Todo Takatora during his travels, and the two deepened their friendship, calling each other &amp;quot;mountain bandits&amp;quot; in contrast to Takatora's &amp;quot;pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps thanks to his travels around the country, he, like Takatora, was a warrior skilled in both the arts and martial arts, and also skilled in governing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
47 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of Nobunaga's wet nurse, he is also Nobunaga's foster brother, and has served by his side since before Nobunaga was called a &amp;quot;fool.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was young, he has always had scars from protecting Nobunaga with his own body when he was in danger, but he is proud of each scar as proof of his loyalty. He&lt;br /&gt;
is usually quiet, but when it matters most, Tsuneoki's honest words carry weight.&lt;br /&gt;
With his daughter Sen married Mori Nagayoshi, he serves as the guardian of the Mori family, looking after the Mori brothers both in the shadows and in the public eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a veteran retainer of the Oda clan, and is known as &amp;quot;Sumi&amp;quot; Katsusaburo, and is a match for Niwa &amp;quot;Yone&amp;quot; Goroza.&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

The eldest son of Kuki Yoshitaka, he is a true seaman, born and raised on the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
To him, the sea is an endless longing, the flag a marker for where he will die, and the ship an unrestrained soul.&lt;br /&gt;
Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;
As we'll see later, the drastic change in his facial structure... it's unclear whether it's genetic or whether he ate the evil fruit series.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 46&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nicknamed &amp;quot;Saru,&amp;quot; he was born to Kinoshita Yaemon, a foot soldier under Oda Nobuhide, and Naka, a farmer's daughter. He met Nobunaga at the age of 18 and began serving him as a minor, performing odd jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
His charm and drive steadily led him up the ranks, and nine years ago, when he first became the lord of a castle and province, he took the name &amp;quot;Hashiba,&amp;quot; taking one character from each of the surnames of his superiors, Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie.&lt;br /&gt;
However, five years earlier, he had provoked a fight with his superior, Katsuie, disguised as a tactical disagreement, and left the battlefield without permission. While he now ranks alongside his senior vassals, this was because he had hoped for even greater advancement. Then, when Matsunaga Hisahide rebelled, he successfully suppressed it, successfully securing the position of supreme commander in the Chugoku region.&lt;br /&gt;
With his devilishly quick mind, charming expressions and eloquence, and the drive to act without wasting a moment, he aims to become No. 2 to his beloved Nobunaga!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
24 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Katsuramatsu, later Kinosuke. He was the son of Otani Moriharu, a vassal of Otomo Sorin.&lt;br /&gt;
He left the Otomo clan with his father and after a period of wandering, began serving Hideyoshi as a page at the age of 16, where his keen talent was quickly recognized and he gained Hideyoshi's trust. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
because he was also a member of Hideyoshi's pages, he looked after Fukushima Masanori and Ishida Mitsunari well, and was very popular with them. He&lt;br /&gt;
was skilled in domestic affairs, but also showed great talent in military affairs, making him a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Ichimatsu, and he was known from an early age for his extraordinary strength.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 18, he participated in the invasion of Chugoku, demonstrating his fierce fighting spirit and competing for success with Kiyomasa, who was like a brother to him.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a brave and courageous man on the battlefield, straightforward and straightforward in nature, and also kind-hearted and easily moved to tears - the epitome of a strong and upright warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of Hideyoshi's retainers... a sort of gang leader, and would often tease and play around with Ishida Mitsunari, who was a former monk and weak in strength... although he apparently meant no harm...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Known as Toranosuke, he was one of Hideyoshi's retainers, raised under his father from an early age.&lt;br /&gt;
A large, young man with exceptional martial prowess and a keen sense of learning,&lt;br /&gt;
he admires Hideyoshi and his military strategist, Kanbei, and hopes to be able to assist them as a spearman.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to his efforts, he has been particularly successful recently, achieving great success as a lookout (scout) in the capture of Tottori Castle and being the first to land a spear in the attack on Bitchu Kanmuriyama Castle, earning him the envious gazes of his retainers, including Fukushima Masanori.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
57 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was originally a powerful clan leader in the Hachisuka district of Owari and the leader of a group of mercenaries known as the &amp;quot;Hachisuka Clan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's right-hand man, and had been infatuated with Nobunaga since the days of Tokichiro, demonstrating his skill as one of his advisors. On the other hand, he was cold towards Nobunaga, describing him as &amp;quot;a fierce general, but not a good one.&amp;quot; This is probably why, despite being a yoriki, he essentially worked under Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;
From his appearance, he may be thought of as a ronin, but in reality he was a brave, tactical and practical military commander, and he paid close attention to the city government within his territory. Nicknamed &amp;quot;the six-year-old man,&amp;quot; he was trusted by many of Hideyoshi's soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
16 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuroda Kanbei, he had just made his debut at the siege of Kanmuriyama Castle in Bitchu. He was praised for his wisdom and bravery, and for having the potential to&lt;br /&gt;
become a great general. During Araki Murashige's rebellion, Nobunaga saw his father's imprisonment as a betrayal and nearly killed him, but he escaped danger thanks to Takenaka Hanbei.&lt;br /&gt;
After Hanbei's death, Nagamasa came to admire the late Hanbei more than his father Kanbei, whose ambitions gradually became more apparent...&lt;br /&gt;
Among his fellow warlords, he was particularly close with Hosokawa Tadaoki...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
37 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's trusted adviser, known as &amp;quot;the greatest military strategist of all time.&amp;quot; His real name was Takataka.&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up to Takenaka Hanbei, now known as Komei, as his mentor, and learned from him his honesty and his versatile military strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when he went to Arioka Castle to persuade Araki Murashige to put an end to his rebellion, he was instead thrown into prison.&lt;br /&gt;
After nearly a year of imprisonment before being rescued, his legs became lame, and his great mentor Hanbei died of illness in the camp...&lt;br /&gt;
After much anguish... Kanbei began to raise his ambition to rule the world with his combined wisdom and strategy... What did he think of Mitsuhide's rebellion?!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 49&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is a feared ruler of the Warring States period known as the &amp;quot;Sixth Heavenly Demon King,&amp;quot; but deep in his heart he harbors a warm and abundant love.&lt;br /&gt;
However, he compares himself to Cao Cao and calls himself a &amp;quot;hero of turbulent times,&amp;quot; and chooses to walk a thorny path.&lt;br /&gt;
In his youth, he lulled those around him into a false sense of security by pretending to be &amp;quot;foolish,&amp;quot; and after inheriting the family headship, he&lt;br /&gt;
quickly unified Owari. From then on, he brought the turbulent times to an end with his precise and bold strategy, his brave and courageous military tactics, and his hidden &amp;quot;great power.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
With the long-awaited peace in sight, he secretly worries about sealing away his own talents, which could turn him into a wicked minister...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who will bring an end to the war?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
27 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a woman, Ujisato was adopted by Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;son-in-law&amp;quot; through political means.&lt;br /&gt;
Although her &amp;quot;womanhood&amp;quot; soon became public knowledge after her adoption, Ujisato's courage and intelligence made her very beloved by Nobunaga and his vassals, and she continued to be treated the same as a member of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
She was a person of exceptional beauty, excelling in both literature and martial arts, and admired Nobunaga, who treated her as a son-in-law, calling him a &amp;quot;supple beast.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
She was a good friend and quarrelsome friend of Hori Hidemasa, who did not let Nobunaga be conscious of her being a woman.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a wise general who was praised as the pillar of the Rokkaku clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When his master's family was destroyed and Nobunaga came to Kyoto, he was the first to offer his daughter as a hostage to Nobunaga in an attempt to make peace.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when his daughter (later Ujisato) said, &amp;quot;As a son, I would like to be married by Lord Nobunaga,&amp;quot; he risked the destruction of his clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Nobunaga took a great liking to Ujisato, and he won the political battle.&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that when Ujisato &amp;quot;married into his family,&amp;quot; he entered the castle without any shame, and Nobunaga greeted him with a loud laugh.&lt;br /&gt;

18 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second son of the Mori family, both brothers were expected to have bright futures.&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a page to Nobunaga along with his younger brothers, Bomaru and Chikaramaru, but Nobunaga especially loved Ranmaru's intelligence and made him his chief page.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga loved him and called him &amp;quot;O-Ran,&amp;quot; but because he always reads and acts one step ahead of Nobunaga's thoughts, he was often viewed&lt;br /&gt;
with suspicion by those around him. However, he admired Mitsuhide's knowledge and dignity, and secretly respected him.&lt;br /&gt;

41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander who fell in love with Hideyoshi's charm and swore to become his brother.&lt;br /&gt;
(In reality, Hideyoshi had simply persuaded him, but he himself is unaware of this.)&lt;br /&gt;
He is younger than Hideyoshi, but as a long-time retainer of the Oda clan, he has a big attitude. He&lt;br /&gt;
is currently a central figure in the Ikeda clan, working under Tsuneoki, and is a pure warrior who charges into battle before anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
He seems to be drinking buddies with Maeda Keiji, and the two are often seen drinking together and chatting about spear fighting.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
23 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsuneoki's second son, he is a military commander who inherited his father's bravery. His trademark is his tobacco pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
As a teenager, he had no intention of inheriting the family estate, so he wandered aimlessly around the country.&lt;br /&gt;
He met people like Todo Takatora during his travels, and the two deepened their friendship, calling each other &amp;quot;mountain bandits&amp;quot; in contrast to Takatora's &amp;quot;pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps thanks to his travels around the country, he, like Takatora, was a warrior skilled in both the arts and martial arts, and also skilled in governing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
47 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The son of Nobunaga's wet nurse, he is also Nobunaga's foster brother, and has served by his side since before Nobunaga was called a &amp;quot;fool.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Since he was young, he has always had scars from protecting Nobunaga with his own body when he was in danger, but he is proud of each scar as proof of his loyalty. He&lt;br /&gt;
is usually quiet, but when it matters most, Tsuneoki's honest words carry weight.&lt;br /&gt;
With his daughter Sen married Mori Nagayoshi, he serves as the guardian of the Mori family, looking after the Mori brothers both in the shadows and in the public eye.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a veteran retainer of the Oda clan, and is known as &amp;quot;Sumi&amp;quot; Katsusaburo, and is a match for Niwa &amp;quot;Yone&amp;quot; Goroza.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

48 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

26 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuki Yoshitaka, he is a true seaman, born and raised on the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
To him, the sea is an endless longing, the flag a marker for where he will die, and the ship an unrestrained soul.&lt;br /&gt;
Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;
As we'll see later, the drastic change in his facial structure... it's unclear whether it's genetic or whether he ate the evil fruit series.&lt;br /&gt;

41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 46&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nicknamed &amp;quot;Saru,&amp;quot; he was born to Kinoshita Yaemon, a foot soldier under Oda Nobuhide, and Naka, a farmer's daughter. He met Nobunaga at the age of 18 and began serving him as a minor, performing odd jobs.&lt;br /&gt;
His charm and drive steadily led him up the ranks, and nine years ago, when he first became the lord of a castle and province, he took the name &amp;quot;Hashiba,&amp;quot; taking one character from each of the surnames of his superiors, Niwa Nagahide and Shibata Katsuie.&lt;br /&gt;
However, five years earlier, he had provoked a fight with his superior, Katsuie, disguised as a tactical disagreement, and left the battlefield without permission. While he now ranks alongside his senior vassals, this was because he had hoped for even greater advancement. Then, when Matsunaga Hisahide rebelled, he successfully suppressed it, successfully securing the position of supreme commander in the Chugoku region.&lt;br /&gt;
With his devilishly quick mind, charming expressions and eloquence, and the drive to act without wasting a moment, he aims to become No. 2 to his beloved Nobunaga!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Katsuramatsu, later Kinosuke. He was the son of Otani Moriharu, a vassal of Otomo Sorin.&lt;br /&gt;
He left the Otomo clan with his father and after a period of wandering, began serving Hideyoshi as a page at the age of 16, where his keen talent was quickly recognized and he gained Hideyoshi's trust. Perhaps&lt;br /&gt;
because he was also a member of Hideyoshi's pages, he looked after Fukushima Masanori and Ishida Mitsunari well, and was very popular with them. He&lt;br /&gt;
was skilled in domestic affairs, but also showed great talent in military affairs, making him a warrior of both wisdom and bravery.&lt;br /&gt;

At the age of 18, he participated in the invasion of Chugoku, demonstrating his fierce fighting spirit and competing for success with Kiyomasa, who was like a brother to him.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a brave and courageous man on the battlefield, straightforward and straightforward in nature, and also kind-hearted and easily moved to tears - the epitome of a strong and upright warrior.&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of Hideyoshi's retainers... a sort of gang leader, and would often tease and play around with Ishida Mitsunari, who was a former monk and weak in strength... although he apparently meant no harm...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Known as Toranosuke, he was one of Hideyoshi's retainers, raised under his father from an early age.&lt;br /&gt;
A large, young man with exceptional martial prowess and a keen sense of learning,&lt;br /&gt;
he admires Hideyoshi and his military strategist, Kanbei, and hopes to be able to assist them as a spearman.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to his efforts, he has been particularly successful recently, achieving great success as a lookout (scout) in the capture of Tottori Castle and being the first to land a spear in the attack on Bitchu Kanmuriyama Castle, earning him the envious gazes of his retainers, including Fukushima Masanori.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
57 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was originally a powerful clan leader in the Hachisuka district of Owari and the leader of a group of mercenaries known as the &amp;quot;Hachisuka Clan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's right-hand man, and had been infatuated with Nobunaga since the days of Tokichiro, demonstrating his skill as one of his advisors. On the other hand, he was cold towards Nobunaga, describing him as &amp;quot;a fierce general, but not a good one.&amp;quot; This is probably why, despite being a yoriki, he essentially worked under Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;
From his appearance, he may be thought of as a ronin, but in reality he was a brave, tactical and practical military commander, and he paid close attention to the city government within his territory. Nicknamed &amp;quot;the six-year-old man,&amp;quot; he was trusted by many of Hideyoshi's soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
16 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuroda Kanbei, he had just made his debut at the siege of Kanmuriyama Castle in Bitchu. He was praised for his wisdom and bravery, and for having the potential to&lt;br /&gt;
become a great general. During Araki Murashige's rebellion, Nobunaga saw his father's imprisonment as a betrayal and nearly killed him, but he escaped danger thanks to Takenaka Hanbei.&lt;br /&gt;
After Hanbei's death, Nagamasa came to admire the late Hanbei more than his father Kanbei, whose ambitions gradually became more apparent...&lt;br /&gt;
Among his fellow warlords, he was particularly close with Hosokawa Tadaoki...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
37 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was Hideyoshi's trusted adviser, known as &amp;quot;the greatest military strategist of all time.&amp;quot; His real name was Takataka.&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up to Takenaka Hanbei, now known as Komei, as his mentor, and learned from him his honesty and his versatile military strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
However, when he went to Arioka Castle to persuade Araki Murashige to put an end to his rebellion, he was instead thrown into prison.&lt;br /&gt;
After nearly a year of imprisonment before being rescued, his legs became lame, and his great mentor Hanbei died of illness in the camp...&lt;br /&gt;
After much anguish... Kanbei began to raise his ambition to rule the world with his combined wisdom and strategy... What did he think of Mitsuhide's rebellion?!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 58&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Koga, Omi Province, he traveled around the country, mastering Iga-ryu ninjutsu, fortification techniques, and firearms. At the recommendation of his cousin, Ikeda Tsuneoki, he began serving Nobunaga at the age of 40.&lt;br /&gt;
Though descended from Koga ninjas and well versed in ninjutsu, he did not resort to tactics much, preferring fair and square battles. Perhaps this was due to his success as a samurai after a long period of wandering.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps knowing this nature, Nobunaga trusted him highly, and he is currently appointed as Kanto Kanrei.&lt;br /&gt;
He was on good terms with Shibata Katsuie, and they would share drinks together whenever the opportunity arose.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Chasenmaru, and he was Nobunaga's second son.&lt;br /&gt;
Born 20 days after the third son, Nobutaka, he was considered the second son, which made him feel superior to Nobutaka and fiercely rivalrous towards his older brother, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of political strategy, he was adopted by Kitabatake Tomonori, the governor of Ise Province, and took the name &amp;quot;Kitabatake Tomonori,&amp;quot; but soon changed his name to &amp;quot;Nobukatsu.&amp;quot; He later assassinated Tomonori, effectively bringing about the downfall of the&lt;br /&gt;
Kitabatake clan. He subsequently fought in battles all over the country, including the Battle of Nagashima in Ise, and became an ambitious military commander who hoped to restore the Oda family name by achieving military merit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A long-time vassal of Nobunaga's father, Nobuhide, he served as the head of Nobunaga's Kuromoshi-shu (black robes) and later as Nobutada's chief retainer. He played a&lt;br /&gt;
key role in the downfall of the Takeda clan with his bold attack during the Kai Takeda campaign. He&lt;br /&gt;
currently rules Kai Province, second only to Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide in command of the armies, but is continually plagued by uprisings that harbor nostalgia for the Takeda era.&lt;br /&gt;
Unable to see that the uprisings were the work of the Tokugawa clan, and fearing that rumors that Takeda Nobukatsu was still alive would gain momentum, he marched out to eradicate the source of the rumors.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
26 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 15, he fought on the Azai side in the Battle of Anegawa, but was defeated. He&lt;br /&gt;
wandered around, changing masters as he went, from Oshu in the north to Ryukyu in the south, broadening his horizons.&lt;br /&gt;
At the age of 21, he fell in love with the personality of Hideyoshi's younger brother, Hashiba Hidenaga, and entered his service. He then served Hidenaga, traveling from place to place to fight, learning castle-building techniques and many other political matters.&lt;br /&gt;
In this latest battle, he was sent aboard a warship, with the naval skills he had learned during his wanderings in high regard.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Kuki Yoshitaka, he is a true seaman, born and raised on the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
To him, the sea is an endless longing, the flag a marker for where he will die, and the ship an unrestrained soul.&lt;br /&gt;
Though he often disagrees with his father Yoshitaka and clashes with him, deep down he is the young heir who respects his father and sincerely wishes to be like him.&lt;br /&gt;
As we'll see later, the drastic change in his facial structure... it's unclear whether it's genetic or whether he ate the evil fruit series.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
41 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leader of the Kuki Navy, nicknamed the &amp;quot;Pirate Daimyo.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally a powerful clan in Shima and subordinate to the Kitabatake clan, governor of Ise Province, Yoshitaka served under Oda Nobunaga at the age of 27, with the help of Takigawa Kazumasu, and thereafter fought in battles all over the country as Nobunaga's chief sailor. Yoshitaka was innovative, impulsive, and destructive, and was likely drawn to Nobunaga, who was on the same wavelength as him.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, in a battle against the Mori Navy's 600 ships, he defeated them with just six newly built ironclad ships, and this military achievement elevated him to the rank of daimyo with a stipend of 35,000 koku.&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshitaka says that the &amp;quot;araha&amp;quot; on his battle flag means rough waves, but it is not unrelated to the greeting &amp;quot;aloha&amp;quot; from a far southern island.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

48 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
48 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

| [[File:narimasa_sasaki_portrait.jpg]] || style=&amp;quot;background-color:#000000;&amp;quot; | [[File:narimasa_sasaki_vehicle.gif|center]]||&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

| [[File:narimasa_sasaki_portrait.jpg]] || style=&amp;quot;background-color:#000000;&amp;quot; | [[File:narimasa_sasaki_vehicle.gif|center]]||&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
48 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
48 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

48 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
48 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
48 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[File:maeda_toshinaga_portrait.jpg]] || style=&amp;quot;background-color:#000000;&amp;quot; |  [[File:maeda_toshinaga_vehicle.gif|center]] ||&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

| [[File:mori_nagayoshi_portrait.jpg]] || style=&amp;quot;background-color:#000000;&amp;quot; |  [[File:mori_nagayoshi_vehicle.gif|center]] ||&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

48 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
| [[File:nobutaka_kobe_portrait.jpg]] || style=&amp;quot;background-color:#000000;&amp;quot; |  [[File:nobutaka_kobe_vehicle.gif|center]] ||&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was known as Katsuzo and Musashi no Kami.&lt;br /&gt;
During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

48 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as &amp;quot;Yone Goroza.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 45&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the leader of the Oda army's red-robed corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from a young age and was known as a loyal supporter. On the battlefield, he earned the nickname &amp;quot;Spear-wielding Mataza,&amp;quot; and it's said that the mere sight of Toshiie made enemies tremble in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
As a young man, he killed a member of Nobunaga's Doboshu and was banished from the Oda clan. However, he adored Shibata Katsuie and the late Mori Kanenari (father of the Mori brothers), who supported him behind the scenes, calling them &amp;quot;Oyaji-dono&amp;quot; (fathers).&lt;br /&gt;
He had a deep appreciation for unique talents, and he himself wore a unique style, making him stand out even among the Oda army.&lt;br /&gt;
In that sense, he and another talented genius, Hashiba Hideyoshi, were on friendly terms, calling each other &amp;quot;Tōkichirō&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Inuchiyo,&amp;quot; after their childhood names.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Sasaki Narimasa, the leader of the black-robed corps, often criticized Toshiie, but Toshiie himself ignored him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
25 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His childhood name was Sanshichimaru. Due to the difference in status between his birth mother and his biological mother, Nobuo, born 20 days after Nobutaka, was the second son, while Nobutaka was considered the third.&lt;br /&gt;
He became the heir to Kobe Tomomori, a powerful clan in northern Ise, and head of the Kobe family.&lt;br /&gt;
From then on, he fought in various places as part of Nobunaga's direct guerrilla army, but he was not as favored as his older brothers, and his ranking within the family was third to Nobutada, Nobuo, and his uncle Nobukane.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Nobunaga, he was handsome, intelligent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he developed a complex about being treated inferior to Nobuo in everything, and was constantly conscious of Nobuo.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
40 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maeda Keijiro Toshihisa.&lt;br /&gt;
He was adopted by the Takigawa family to the eldest son of the Maeda family, Toshihisa, and the right to inherit the Maeda family headship should have been Keiji, not the fourth son, Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the Maeda family tradition and Takigawa blood, Keiji became the most refined man of his time, the most eccentric of the Sengoku period, and a warrior worth a thousand men. He literally &amp;quot;lives to throw his life away,&amp;quot; and his purpose in life was to live and die on the battlefield. He&lt;br /&gt;
often behaves in a flashy and unconventional way, but deep down he is in love with Toshiie's legal wife, Matsu, and is concerned about the future of the Maeda family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
22 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the eldest son of Maeda Toshiie and the successor to the Maeda family. His legal wife is Nobunaga's daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Although he is somewhat influenced by his father Toshiie's tendency to lean towards others, he is fundamentally a common-sense intellectual like his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps as a reaction to this, he does not particularly like his uncle Yoshitsugu's one-sided devotion to the military, and is rather more inclined towards the politician-style of his father's colleague, Fuwa Mitsuharu, than his father or uncle. His goal is to become a competent administrator with a good sense of balance.&lt;br /&gt;

During the attack on the Takeda clan in Kai, he wielded a spear known as &amp;quot;humanly rugged&amp;quot; and fought with such fearsome aura that he was nicknamed &amp;quot;Yasha Musashi.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
His father, Kanenari, and older brother, Karatsu, who were renowned as brave generals, were killed in battle at Asai and Asakura, so he inherited the Mori family headship at a young age.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a good older brother who acted as a father figure to his younger brothers, Ranmaru, Bomaru, Chikaramaru, and Senmaru. He was&lt;br /&gt;
married to Senga, the daughter of Ikeda Tsuneoki, who commanded the Ikeda army's women's rifle corps.&lt;br /&gt;
He was well-liked by everyone and was loved by many senior generals, including his father-in-law Tsuneoki and Maeda Toshiie.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
56 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was one of the four former leaders of Western Mino. He was initially a vassal of the Toki&lt;br /&gt;
clan, the guardian of Mino, and served under the Saito clan before going on to serve Oda Nobunaga. He was a military commander who was primarily active in diplomacy, including the wedding of Azai Nagamasa and Oichi, but he also served as Nobunaga's horseman, taking part in major battles such as the Battle of Anegawa, the attack on Ise-Nagashima Ikko Ikki, and the battle to destroy the Azai and Asakura&lt;br /&gt;
clans. At this time, like Maeda Toshiie, he was an inspector for Shibata Katsuie, and militarily he was Katsuie's yoriki. He&lt;br /&gt;
was not the type to persuade with eloquence, but rather a professional negotiator who could overwhelm his opponents with just his presence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
21 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 26&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues&lt;br /&gt;
Nobunaga's vision of &amp;quot;reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. &amp;quot; While he most strongly inherits Nobunaga's character, he also has a kind heart, and even advised Nobunaga to rescind the order for his brother-in-law, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, to commit seppuku. Based in Azuchi, he operates mainly in Mino and Owari, and confronts the protagonist and his friends in Mino, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer.&lt;br /&gt;
He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a &amp;quot;gift,&amp;quot; but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He&lt;br /&gt;
is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He&lt;br /&gt;
is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights&lt;br /&gt;
(he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He&lt;br /&gt;
is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
30 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being.&lt;br /&gt;
He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He&lt;br /&gt;
was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada.&lt;br /&gt;
He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He&lt;br /&gt;
is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
20 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka.&lt;br /&gt;
A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper.&lt;br /&gt;
Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so&lt;br /&gt;
he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
49 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The head of the prestigious Hosokawa clan, a shogunate that prized order and discipline, and the lord of Shoryuji Castle in Yamashiro Province, he was a long-time comrade of Akechi Mitsuhide's in their quest to restore the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
However, unwilling to let the order restored by Nobunaga be reduced to ashes, he decided to sever all ties with Mitsuhide in this latest rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;

A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful.&lt;br /&gt;
A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner.&lt;br /&gt;
Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan.&lt;br /&gt;
He is a key figure within the Oda clan. &lt;br /&gt;

He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family.&lt;br /&gt;
Having married Nobunaga's daughter Hideko, he is known for his selfishness and self-centeredness in everything he does, and is not well-liked within the family. He&lt;br /&gt;
loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he aims to expand his power as Nobunaga's son-in-law, and succeeds in sending his adoptive father Junkei to the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
33 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
After being driven from his castle by Matsunaga Hisahide, he spent his days fighting, but with the help of Akechi Mitsuhide, he approached Oda Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide.&lt;br /&gt;
In this battle, he rejected the opinion of his elder retainer Shima Sakon and decided to wait and see rather than side with Mitsuhide, but reluctantly marched out after pressure from Katsuie and persuasion from Sadatsugu.&lt;br /&gt;
However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
58 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a retainer of Shibata Katsuie, known as the Echizen-shu, along with Maeda Toshiie and Fuwa Mitsuharu, in the Akamoshi-shu (Nobunaga's personal guard). He&lt;br /&gt;
was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His&lt;br /&gt;
original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character &amp;quot;cho&amp;quot; on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga.&lt;br /&gt;
However, having been awakened to the tea ceremony through Akechi Mitsuhide, he was surprised and confused when Mitsuhide, whom he had always respected, raised an army.&lt;br /&gt;
He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
46 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has served Oda Nobunaga since his father's time, and became a member of the Kuromo-shu (Black Robe Squad), currently serving as its leader.&lt;br /&gt;
As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears.&lt;br /&gt;
He is not taciturn, and lacks eloquence, so his actions stand out more than his words, and he is often seen as impulsive, but he is by no means short-tempered or rude (as he appears to be).&lt;br /&gt;
He hates Hashiba Hideyoshi, who always flaunts his eloquence and makes fun of others, and they are at odds with each other at every opportunity, but he is on good terms with Maeda Toshiie, and is angry that Toshiie is on good terms with Hideyoshi.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age: 59&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi.&lt;br /&gt;
He is currently entrusted by Nobunaga with the management of the Hokuriku region, and from his base in Echizen Kitanosho, he has pacified Kaga and Noto, and is confronting the Uesugi clan.&lt;br /&gt;
In the past, he had assisted Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, in his rebellion, but since being pardoned by Nobunaga, he has been loyal and faithful.&lt;br /&gt;
He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as &amp;quot;Kakere Shibata,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Demon Shibata,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Binwari Shibata.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot; However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a &amp;quot;good boss&amp;quot; who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He&lt;br /&gt;
was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...&lt;br /&gt;

38 years old&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katsutake. At the time, he was a senior retainer of the Tsutsui clan, and along with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, he was known as one of the &amp;quot;Ukon Sakon&amp;quot; of the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as &amp;quot;a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods,&amp;quot; which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan.&lt;br /&gt;
When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued &amp;quot;righteousness,&amp;quot; urged Yukiyoshi to &amp;quot;side with Akechi,&amp;quot; but his advice was not accepted, and he ended up marching on the enemy side... What was going through his mind as he rushed to the battlefield?&lt;br /&gt;
