Oda Nobunaga (Japanese: 織田 信長; 1534 – 1582) was a powerful daimyō during the Sengoku period of Japan, and the first of Japan's three great unifiers (三英傑). Inheriting the title of daimyō of Owari Province after his father Oda Nobuhide died in 1551, Nobunaga's carefree lifestyle as a youth neglecting lessons on statecraft meant he had to quickly reconsolidate the Oda clan's power in the region if he hoped to survive.
After securing his position, he set out to unite the country under his banner. His rule was marked by brutal military campaigns, often bringing significant force against the slightest opposition that refused to recognize his authority, first initiating the Ishiyama Hongan-ji War against the Buddhist Ikkō-ikki before twice invading Iga Province to start the Tenshō Iga War against the shinobi of Iga ikki.
Biography
When the Japanese Assassins made contact with Nobunaga, he was sympathetic to their cause and promised an alliance once he had unified his country. However, after he came into possession of a Sword of Eden, the possibility of an alliance was compromised. The Assassin Yamauchi Taka subsequently killed Nobunaga on 21 June 1582,[1] when the daimyō's vassal Akechi Mitsuhide betrayed and attacked him at Honnō-ji in Kyoto.[2] Taka retrieved the Sword and brought it to Liu Yan, who transported it to China. After Nobunaga's death, his vassal Toyotomi Hideyoshi took over the mantle of conquering the land.[1]
Behind the scenes
Despite the Assassins' role in Nobunaga's death being depicted in the 2015 digital card game Assassin's Creed: Memories, the promotional website Who's In Your Blood? for the Assassin's Creed film does not acknowledge these events.
