Just curious, any particular reason you thought of him?

So glad we all pooled in for the 19th questions for what to ask and didn't just randomly guess persons who were previously mentioned by others.

Anyway, thanks for the game han! Hope the next one is up soon.
There were only 2 outstanding, if wasn't Jamie I had to be right.
I didn't realize jamie was japanese

Is it:

Shingen Takeda
?
If not, Nagao Kagetora aka Uesugi Kenshin aka the Dragon of Echigo

But I withdraw my guess because that was a Chinese person.

Well I submitted a guess twice and you ignored me both times so I'm losing track to be honest.

I seriously doubt this person is famous or even vaguely well known.

I'm out.

Eh, wouldn’t read so much into that answer.

There are so many and we only have one question left:

The entertainer question and response is interesting.

Was this man an entertainer (including actor, music man, poet, comedian, painter, sculptor, magician, circus performer, competitive eating champion, or writer of fiction) ?
Although he could conceivably fit some of those descriptions depending on interpretation, I would not call him an entertainer.
Many daimyo were poets and some of the Wikipedia articles even include their death poems. But the word "some" suggests that historians have verified that this man also painted and/or played a musical instrument.

I verified Kakarroto’s earlier interpretation.

Free guess: since the other two "great unifiers" have been guessed, I'll try the third, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Nope, not him.

Yes if you count daimyos as samurais.. this has essentially been answered by question twelve though.
Q 12 seemed to leave a lot of military options open (lots of and/ors)... and samurai worked for daimyos, right? So personally I wouldn't consider them the same.
...although Wikipedia says that some daimyos were promoted samurai, but I was thinking of a couple of samurai who were never daimyos (Hattori Hanzo and Miyamoto Musashi).
Wikipedia does not explicitly call him a samurai but a daimyo.

As I said, it is someone from Japan and not China. Anyone who guessed someone from China has their free guess refunded.

It is not Koxinga (I wasn’t aware he was born in Japan— good to know!)
Where did you say this?

Not Oda Nobunaga.

At this rate it’s down to very few candidates and a smart player would use conditionals to guess multiple people..
