QUICK INFO IF YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT JAPANESE HISTORY: The Sengoku period (or the Warring States Period) in Japanese history was a time of social upheaval, political intrigue, and nearly constant military conflict that lasted roughly from the middle of the 15th century to the beginning of the 17th century. Its name is a reference to the Warring states period in ancient China and it is sometimes called by that name in English. The Sengoku period in Japan would eventually lead to the unification of political power under the Tokugawa shogunate.

Which Lord/Leader do you serve under:
Listed below:
* Nobunaga Oda (Oda Clan)
-Nobunaga is a powerful warlord who seeks to unify and rule Japan. Due to his cunning, his ruthlessness and his habit of burning rebellious cities to the ground, killing innocent civilians, he is considered very evil. Nobunaga stands out as a demon king whose nature imbues the glowing, humming mystical sword that he wields.

* Kenshin Uesugi (Uesugi Clan)
-Kenshin is an avatar of Bishamoten who lives only to fight. He is a stoic warrior also known as "Dragon of Echigo" and "God of War". Kenshin sees Shingen Takeda as a devine nemesis. He has nothing but respect for Shingen and treats any battle with him as sacred. Kenshin loves to drink sake and he prays to Bishamonten at the start of every battle. Kenshin's weapon is a large seven bladed sword called "Frozen Flame". He uses the sword to make broad slashes and hacking movements. Kenshin can also throw exploding "Shikigami" and he can create giant phantom doubles of himself.

* Hideyoshi Toyotomi (Toyotomi Clan - Allied with Oda)
-Toyotomi is one of Oda Nobunaga???s closest generals. Toyotomi is friends with Magoichi Saika. His nickname, "Monkey" is due to his strange looks and large sideburns. Toyotomi's weapon is a bo staff that doubles as a sansetsukon called "Simian Sansetsu". It gives him good range to compensate for a lack in strength. Although Toyotomi is married to Nene, he is a womanizer, playful and perverse.

* Ieyasu Tokugawa (Tokugawa Clan)
-Tokugawa is an ally of Nobunaga who desires to unify Japan.He is an enduring and patient man. He values the lives of his men.His weapon is a spear with a hidden cannon called "Quake Maker".

* Nagamasa Azai (Azai clan - Allies with Oda)
-Nagamasa is a daimyo of the northern Omi Province. He is married to Oichi(Nobunaga???s younger sister.) Nagamasa is a noble and moral man who believes in love and honor. He is brave and kind. He is torn between his great love for Oichi, his allies, the Asakura and Nobunaga who is his brother in law.

* Masamune Date (Date clan)
-Masamune is a young (eleven- or twelve-year-old), ambitious ruler of the Date clan. He aims to rule all the land. He is called the "One-Eyed Dragon" because his right eye is missing. With typical teenage arrogance, Masamune regards everyone around him as "Idiots," "Imbeciles" and "Losers". Others tease him for his youth and his annoying ways. His weapons are a pair of bokken (wooden swords) called "Botenmaru" (a reference to his childhood nickname).

* Magoichi Saika (Leader of a mercenary group)
-Magoichi is a leader of a mercenary group. He bears a grudge against Oda Nobunaga, whom he assassinates. Magoichi has an unconventional friendship with Hideyoshi Toyotomi and later with Masamune Date. Magoichi is a cheerful womanizer who flirts with many of the female characters. His weapon is a musket with an oversized bayonet called "Marksman's Pride". He fires the gun in various "fancy" ways.

*Shingen Takeda (Takeda Clan)
-Takeda is a military strategist and leader of the Takeda clan, known as the "Tiger of Kai". He is a cheerful old man who laughs a lot. Kenshin Uesugi is his nemesis. Takeda's weapon is a dansen uchiwa (strategist's fan) called "Heaven's Sign".

*Nobuyuki Sanada (Sanada Clan)
- Nobuyuki is the fifth ruler of the Sanada clan, the older brother of Yukimura Sanada, and the husband of Ina. He begins his career as a loyal general of the Takeda clan, alongside his family.
