パペットホームズ、大河ドラマなどの好きなテレビ番組やラグビーについて書いています。アフィリエイトはやっていません。／Welcome to my blog. I write about some Japanese TV programmes including NHK puppetry and Taiga Drama, Sherlock Holmes and rugby. I don't do affiliate marketing.
A shugo-daimyo of Mino Province. He liked falconry and painting hawks. He once expelled his elder brother from the position of shugo-daimyo and gained power with the help of SAITŌ Dōsan. However Dōsan then prompted to expel him to seize real power. In the series, he treats SAITŌ Yoshitatsu (Takamasa), heir of Dōsan as if he were his own son and that caused the confrontation between him and Dōsan. In reality, some say that Yoshitatsu was his real son.
INABA Yoshimichi (Takehito Murata)
He was one of the major vassals of Dōsan but he later took side of Yoshitatsu (Takamasa) when he opposed Dōsan. Then he became to serve ODA Nobunaga and TOYOTOMI Hideyoshi and his granddaughter Fuku became a nurse of TOKUGAWA Iemitsu, the third shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate. In the series, he is bitter about the forcibility of Dōsan and incites Yoshitatsu to feel antipathy against his father.
HIRATE Masahide (Shōzō Uesugi*)
He was a vassal of ODA Nobuhide and mori-yaku (tutor) for his son Nobunaga. He is said to have unable to manage him who behaved eccentrically but arranged the marriage for him and Kichō. In the series, he is involved in the internal conflict of the Oda family and commits suicide. But there are other reasons why he did so.
(*) I think he is more suitable for the roles of TAKATŌ Yoritsugu in "Fūrin Kazan" and EDA Zenbei in "Gunshi Kanbei", both of whom are imprudent and like working out a plot that usually ends in failure.
