Oda Nobunaga
1534 CE–1582 CE · Azuchi Castle
Oda Nobunaga was a daimyo of Owari who rose to dominance during Japan's Sengoku (Warring States) period. A bold tactician, he won early fame at Okehazama in 1560, seized Kyoto, and in 1573 deposed the last Ashikaga shogun. He unified much of central Japan, promoted commerce and the use of firearms, and broke the political power of militant Buddhist establishments. In 1582 he was betrayed by his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide and died at Honno-ji, his work of reunification unfinished.
