Biography
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]
In 1579, Fróis was part of an envoy led by Alessandro Valignano in Kyoto to meet with Nobunaga and seek free movement for the priests in Japan. Accompanied by their bodyguard Diogo, the envoy met with Nobunaga's general Akechi Mitsuhide and followed him to the meeting place at Honnō-ji, where they met Lady Nene and Mori Ranmaru, Nobunaga's wife and retainer respectively.[2]
During the meeting with Nobunaga, Fróis remained silent while Valignano did most of the talking. He then bore witness to Nobunaga taking interest in Diogo due to his skin color, stature and intelligence. Fróis, Valignano and the rest of the retainers were then asked to leave the room so that Nobunaga could speak to Diogo alone. The Jesuits would remain a short while later, and were asked by Nobunaga to relinquish Diogo from their service and into his own.[2]
