Credited as being the first of the Three Unifiers of modern Japan, [[Oda Nobunaga]] was one of Japan's most successful warlords. He started as a son of a minor daimyo (and earned the nickname "The Fool of Owari" due to his [[Obfuscating Stupidity|childhood and teenage antics]]), with a number of factions within his own province opposing him, eventually he would not only crush those factions but also proceed to conquer over a third of Japan, with the rest well positioned to fall to him. That ended on June 21, 1582, when his retainer [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] attacked him at Honno temple; Nobunaga, his bodyguards and his [[Uke|wakashu]] Mori Ranmaru died that night.
