explanation: Born in the family of a local war lord in 1534 near Nagoya, a legend says that he would have feigned foolish when he was young to distract others. After having eliminated by a surprising attack, another war lord, Imagawa Yoshimoto who threatened from the east, Nobunaga went to Kyoto to give orders to others in the name of Shogun and Emperor. After many successful battles, he was assassinated by his deputy, Akechi Mitsuhide in 1582 on the road to the western Japan.
