Shingen: Difference between revisions

Shingen is based on the real-life {{wp|Takeda Shingen}} of Japanese history. He and [[Kenshin]] were honorable rivals of one another. Nobushige ({{wp|Takeda Nobushige}}) was his younger brother and Katsuyori ({{wp|Takeda Katsuyori}}) was his son. Nobutsuna ({{wp|Sanada Nobutsuna}}), Masatoyo ({{wp|Naitō Masatoyo}}), and Masakage ({{wp|Yamagata Masakage}}) were some of his {{wp|Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda Shingen|twenty-four generals}}. Masanobu ({{wp|Kōsaka Masanobu}}), Masatoshi ({{wp|Hoshina Masatoshi}}), and Yukitaka ({{wp|Sanada Yukitaka}}) were three revered warriors also serving him, known as his three Danjōchū (Japanese: '''弾正忠'''). Chiyome ({{wp|Mochizuki Chiyome}}) was said to be left in his care on occasion; she is apparently who [[Kunoichi]] is based on.
