Shibata Katsuie's Army
		Age: 59 He was the chief retainer of the Oda clan, and his wife was Nobunaga's younger sister, Oichi. 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. 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. He always served as the vanguard when Nobunaga went into battle, and achieved many military feats, earning him many nicknames such as "Kakere Shibata," "Demon Shibata," and "Binwari Shibata. " However, he was not only a brave warrior, but also a kind-hearted and excellent civil administrator, and was a "good boss" who was respected and trusted by many of the Oda clan's retainers. He was confused by Mitsuhide's uprising, but his responsibility as chief retainer drove him to the battlefield...
		46 years old 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. As a hereditary retainer of the Oda clan, he has a strong sense of elitism, but he is straightforward and easily moved to tears. 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). 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.
		58 years old 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 was often assigned to separate units on the battlefield, and was a military commander who demonstrated his skills in guerrilla warfare. His original name was Kakin, but Nobunaga bestowed the character "cho" on him in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, leading him to idolize and worship Nobunaga. 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. He also did not get along well with Sasa Narimasa of the Kuromoshi-shu...
		21 years old He is the son of Jimyoji Junkuni, adopted by Tsutsui Junkei, and the successor to the Tsutsui family. 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 loves alcohol and often goes on drinking sprees, but thanks to his capable vassals, he has never made a fatal mistake. 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.
		33 years old A highly cultured military commander who excelled in Noh plays and the tea ceremony. 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. After defeating Hisahide, Nobunaga appointed him as the Yamato Shugoshoku (Provincial Governor) and he became a deputy for Akechi Mitsuhide. 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. However, since his family had just been safely restored and he had recently become related to the Oda clan, he disliked risky gambling battles.
		38 years old 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 "Ukon Sakon" of the Tsutsui clan. During the campaign to subjugate Araki Murashige, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was in command, praised him as "a brave general who could deceive even demons and gods," which led to Yamato being entrusted to the Tsutsui clan. When Mitsuhide raised his army this time, Sakon, who valued "righteousness," urged Yukiyoshi to "side with Akechi," 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?

Oda Nobutada's Army
		Age: 26 The eldest son of Oda Nobunaga. Nobunaga's legitimate successor and commander-in-chief of the Oda army. The second generation, he stoically pursues Nobunaga's vision of "reorganizing and stabilizing military politics with the Oda clan at the top, and ensuring peace in Japan under that vision. " 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...
		30 years old A dark-skinned warrior who serves as Nobutada's sword bearer. He was initially granted an audience with Nobunaga as a "gift," but Nobunaga was so captivated by his imposing demeanor that he became his sword bearer. He is now Nobutada's sword bearer, and is a brave warrior who charges into battle in perfect harmony with Nobutada. He is nicknamed Kurogane (Iron of Death) because of the ferocious way he fights (he may be seeking a place to die in battle). He is fluent in Japanese, but rarely speaks to anyone other than Nobunaga and Nobutada.
		30 years old He served Nobunaga as a page from the age of 13, and became his closest aide, with Nobunagaism permeating every fiber of his being. He was a military commander who excelled in both the arts and the military, with an excellent speaking ability and outstanding military achievements. He was highly trusted by Nobunaga, and was appointed military inspector to his successor, Nobutada. He was also well-liked by Nobutada, and he did his best to be a good teacher in passing on Nobunagaism. He is often seen arguing with Gamo Ujisato, and it is unclear whether they get along well or not.
		20 years old The eldest son of Hosokawa Fujitaka. A distinguished military commander with outstanding military achievements and a distinguished tea ceremony. Although normally a sensible warrior, he can also reveal a cold and cruel side when he loses his temper. Four years ago, with the help of Oda Nobunaga, he married Tama (Gracia), the third daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, and so he makes the heartless decision to kill his father-in-law Mitsuhide with his own hands in order to spare his wife's life.
		49 years old 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. Furthermore, Fujitaka's eldest son, Tadaoki, married Mitsuhide's daughter, Tama, further strengthening their close relationship. 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.
		48 years old A senior figure in the Oda clan, praised by Nobunaga as "Yone Goroza." A practical and intelligent veteran military commander of the Oda clan. A good person who generously works for his junior Hideyoshi and others who are the most successful. A military commander with a craftsman's spirit who is dedicated to making the most of his talents under Nobunaga's banner. Many people rely on him due to his personality, and as a result he is well-informed about the information within the Oda clan. He is a key figure within the Oda clan.
