Well, the beans were already spilled since he didn't die until after 1650. But I get another free guess, then?han-shahanshah wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 7:40 pmAs 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!)
I played a NES game way back when called _Shingen the Ruler_ where Shingen Takeda was the protagonist, so I always think of him first in that period. I never played _Nobunaga's Ambition_.Kakarroto wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 3:57 pmYeah, there were many important personalities at the time, though personally I tend to think of the winning side more; and honestly, I think it's probably something like a 50/50 between Nobunaga and Ieyasu, at least for me.
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.han-shahanshah wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 11:50 pmYes if you count daimyos as samurais.. this has essentially been answered by question twelve though.
...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).DougJoe wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:03 amQ 12 seemed to leave a lot of military options open (lots of and/ors)... and samurai worked for daimyos, right?

Nope, not him.
Wikipedia does not explicitly call him a samurai but a daimyo.DougJoe wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:06 am...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).DougJoe wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:03 amQ 12 seemed to leave a lot of military options open (lots of and/ors)... and samurai worked for daimyos, right?

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.han-shahanshah wrote: ↑Fri Jan 27, 2023 7:05 pmAlthough he could conceivably fit some of those descriptions depending on interpretation, I would not call him an entertainer.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Fri Jan 27, 2023 6:09 pmWas this man an entertainer (including actor, music man, poet, comedian, painter, sculptor, magician, circus performer, competitive eating champion, or writer of fiction) ?
Well I submitted a guess twice and you ignored me both times so I'm losing track to be honest.
