Editing Luís Fróis

{{Era|Individuals}}{{WP-REAL}}
'''Luís Fróis''' (1532 – 1597) was a [[Portugal|Portuguese]] Catholic priest and missionary, being the historian of the [[Jesuits]] during their mission in [[Japan]].

During the mission, Fróis sent lengthy reports about the country, detailing what actions the Jesuits had undertaken, the situation in Japan's politics as well as in 
the Christian communities therein. Though his writing were considered too extensive by his superiors, he continued sending reports of over 100 pages every year.<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03">''[[Echoes of History]]'' – Shadows – Episode 3: Portuguese Missionaries in Japan</ref>

Fróis, like fellow Jesuit [[Gaspar Vilela]], adopted many Japanese customs to better integrate himself in the society he attempted to convert. This effort was not seen kindly by the appointed heads of the Japan sector, [[Francisco Cabral]] and [[Gaspar Coelho]], who were in favor of maintaining their [[Europe]]an habits. Being open to a new culture, Fróis managed to ingratiate himself to [[Oda Nobunaga]], who once invited him to visit [[Gifu Castle]].<ref name="Echoes Shadows 03"/>
