Luís Fróis (1532 – 1597) was a Portuguese Catholic priest and missionary who was the Jesuits' historian during their mission in Japan. During the mission, Fróis sent lengthy reports about the country detailing the Jesuits' actions, Japan's internal politics, and the situation of local Christian communities. Though his superiors considered his writing too extensive, he continued sending annual reports of over 100 pages. Fróis, like fellow Jesuit Gaspar Vilela, adopted many Japanese customs to better integrate himself in the society he attempted to convert to Christianity. 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 European habits. Being open to a new culture, Fróis managed to ingratiate himself to Oda Nobunaga, who once invited him to visit Gifu Castle.[1]
