A hero who laid the foundation for the unification of Japan. His innovative strategies and policies paved the way for a war-torn world, but he died in Honno-ji, just before the end of his reign. His alliance with Ieyasu lasted for 20 years, and they formed a relationship of trust that was rare in the Warring States period.
