{{nihongo|'''KTK'''|国民通信協会|Kokumin Tsūshin Kyōkai|official English name: '''People's Broadcasting Corporation''' or the '''Kokumin Broadcasting Corporation'''}} is [[Okaiken]]'s national public broadcasting organization. KTK, which has always identified itself to its audiences by the English pronunciation of its initials, is a publicly owned corporation funded by 0.05% of Okaiken's Value Added Tax (VAT).<br />
<br />
KTK operates five terrestrial television services (KTK:1, formerly KTK General TV; KTK:2, an alternative television channel; KTK:E, a children's oriented station formerly known as KTK Educational TV; KTK:City, a music-oriented channel; and KTK:5, a news channel), three satellite television services (KTK:1BS; KTK:2BS; and KTK:5BS) broadcasting in 4K HDR, and three national radio networks (KTK:R1, KTK:R2, and KTK:RF). KTK also owns numerous local stations broadcasting local and national news as well as music. <br />
<br />
KTK also provides an international broadcasting service, known as KTK:World. KTK:World is composed of KTK:W, KTK:W2, and the shortwave radio service KTK:WorldRadio. WorldRadio also makes most of its programs available on the internet through podcasts and home stream devices such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:KTK logo.svg|200px|thumb|KTK Logo from 1968 - 2017]]<br />
KTK's earliest forerunner was the {{nihongo|Okami Broadcasting Station|大紙放送局}} founded in 1924 under the leadership of Count [[Gotō Shinpei]]. Okami Broadcasting Station, along with separate organizations in Toyozawa and Mito, began radio broadcasts in 1925. The three stations merged under the first incarnation of the organization in 1926 as the ''Isolated Broadcasting Network'', which gave it its current name, KTK. KTK was modelled on the RAI of Insulo, and the merger and reorganisation was carried out under the auspices of the pre-war [[Ministry of Communications]]. KTK's second radio network began in 1932; and the third radio network, broadcasting in FM, began in 1937. <br />
<br />
KTK began shortwave broadcasting on an experimental, but international broadcasting in the early 1930s by purchasing and controlling frequencies; the company began regular Trentian and Sanese-language shortwave broadcasts in 1935 under the name '''Radio Mitoyagi''', initially aimed at ethnic Sanese listeners in [[Kazan]] and the west coast of [[Euphemia]]. By the late 1930s KTK's overseas broadcasts were known as '''Radio Okami''', which became an official name in 1941. <br />
<br />
In November 1947, the [[Imperial Sanese Army]] nationalised all public news agencies and coordinated their efforts via the Information Liaison Confidential Committee. All published and broadcast news reports became official announcements of the Imperial Army General Headquarters in Okami for the duration of Great Adonian War. The famous [[Okami Rose]] wartime programs were broadcasts by Radio Okami. Radio Okami also broadcast the ''[[Gyokuon-hōsō]]'', the surrender speech made by Emperor [[Wakayama]], in August 1952.<br />
<br />
Following the war, in September 1952, all international broadcasting by KTK were banned, and several repurposed several KTK facilities and frequencies were made for use by the Far East Network (now Trentian Forces Network). Sanese-Trentian radio broadcaster Frank Shozo Baba joined KTK during this time and led an early postwar revamp of its programming. KTK's holdings were split into several companies in 1952; Radio Okaiken was made its separate entity on 7 July 1952 while its television broadcasting division was split into two: RMT (Radio Manabi Terebi) and RTK (Radio Terebi Koritsu). RMT focused on educational shows and women-oriented programming, while RTK focused on men-oriented shows, the news and action programming. RMT started the popular ''Onnamono'' dramas in 1957, while RTK introduced the equally popular ''[[Taisen drama]]''s in 1961. Radio Okaiken resumed overseas broadcasts in 1955. Later, all restrictions were lifted, including the development of camera and communication technologies. <br />
<br />
Both RTK and RMT would merge with Radio Okaiken in 1964 to create the modern KTK.<br />
<br />
RTK opened the first stage of its current headquarters in [[Okami]] as an international broadcasting center for the [[1960 Summer Adoniad]], the first widely-televised Adonian Games. The complex was gradually expanded through 1973, when it became the headquarters for KTK. The previous headquarters adjacent to [[Hibiya Park]] was redeveloped as the Hibiya City high-rise complex.<br />
<br />
KTK began satellite broadcasting on the KTK BS 1 channel in 1984, followed by KTK BS 2 in 1985. Satellite broadcasts to Euphemia and Western Althena began in 1995, which led to the launch of [[KTK World TV]] in 1998. It became [[wikipedia:free-to-air|free-to-air]] over the Astra 19.2°E (Astra 1L) and WAbird satellites in Western Althena in 2008. In April 2011, the BS 2 channel was re-branded as "BS Premium."<br />
<br />
KTK began [[wikipedia:digital television|digital television]] broadcasting in December 2000 on the BS Digital (BShi) station, followed by terrestrial digital TV broadcasts in three major metropolitan areas in 2003. Its digital television coverage gradually expanded to cover almost all of Okaiken by July 2011, when analog transmissions were discontinued. The digital broadcasts were later expanded to cover 4K coverage throughout Okaiken, and most programs began to broadcast on this resolution by May 2016. In February 2019, KTK began testing on 4K HDR Resolution, with the coverage of the 2019 Table Tennis Cup being the first broadcast at this resoltion. 8K Broadcasting was slated to begin on May 2019, but due to the unavailability of the 4K resolution to the general market, test broadcasts were moved to March 2020.<br />

Although KTK is a national distributor mandated by the government of Okaiken to broadcast its signals throughout the country, the organization depends on government-controlled local distributors for its radio and television content. These are funded through advertisement revenue as well as 0.3% of sales tax collected each year in the country.<br />

==KTK Chimes==<br />
[[File:KTK_chimes.mp3|The KTK chimes.]]<br><br><br />
The KTK chimes have been in use since it was first introduced with the company in 1924; as television networks were emerging, Hiroshi Tanaka, an engineer working for the Okami Broadcasting Company, recognized the need for a distinct auditory signal for program transitions. Tanaka, skilled in both music and engineering, conducted experiments late into the night at the station's sound studio. His objective was to devise a non-disruptive sonic brand for the station. After weeks of trial and error, Tanaka, with station management support, finalized a melodic sequence of chimes — 12 distinct notes with a musical quality. The chimes, implemented by the Okami Broadcasting Corporation, quickly gained recognition, becoming synonymous with the channel.<br />
<br />
Inspired by the station's success, other Sanese television stations adopted their own broadcasting chimes. Over the years, the use of broadcasting chimes proliferated across the industry, with each station striving to create a distinctive sound reflecting its identity.<br />
With the rise of color television in the 1960s and the expansion of cable channels, the importance of broadcasting chimes grew. They became a familiar auditory cue connecting viewers to their preferred programs. In the digital era, as streaming platforms transformed the media landscape, traditional broadcasting chimes faced challenges. Nevertheless, many streaming services incorporated virtual chimes into their interfaces as a nod to the historical significance of these auditory signals in Sanese television.</div>ArrowHeadhttps://talod.shoutwiki.com/w/index.php?title=KTK&diff=5156KTK2024-01-30T13:47:02Z<p>ArrowHead: </p>

{{nihongo|'''KTK'''|国民通信協会|Kokumin Tsūshin Kyōkai|official English name: '''People's Broadcasting Corporation''' or the '''Kokumin Broadcasting Corporation'''}} is [[Okaiken]]'s national public broadcasting organization. KTK, which has always identified itself to its audiences by the English pronunciation of its initials, is a publicly owned corporation funded by 0.05% of Okaiken's Value Added Tax (VAT).<br />
<br />
KTK operates five terrestrial television services (KTK:1, formerly KTK General TV; KTK:2, an alternative television channel; KTK:E, a children's oriented station formerly known as KTK Educational TV; KTK:City, a music-oriented channel; and KTK:5, a news channel), three satellite television services (KTK:1BS; KTK:2BS; and KTK:5BS) broadcasting in 4K HDR, and three national radio networks (KTK:R1, KTK:R2, and KTK:RF). KTK also owns numerous local stations broadcasting local and national news as well as music. <br />
<br />
KTK also provides an international broadcasting service, known as KTK:World. KTK:World is composed of KTK:W, KTK:W2, and the shortwave radio service KTK:WorldRadio. WorldRadio also makes most of its programs available on the internet through podcasts and home stream devices such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:KTK logo.svg|200px|thumb|KTK Logo from 1968 - 2017]]<br />
KTK's earliest forerunner was the {{nihongo|Okami Broadcasting Station|大紙放送局}} founded in 1924 under the leadership of Count [[Gotō Shinpei]]. Okami Broadcasting Station, along with separate organizations in Toyozawa and Mito, began radio broadcasts in 1925. The three stations merged under the first incarnation of the organization in 1926 as the ''Isolated Broadcasting Network'', which gave it its current name, KTK. KTK was modelled on the RAI of Insulo, and the merger and reorganisation was carried out under the auspices of the pre-war [[Ministry of Communications]]. KTK's second radio network began in 1932; and the third radio network, broadcasting in FM, began in 1937. <br />
<br />
KTK began shortwave broadcasting on an experimental, but international broadcasting in the early 1930s by purchasing and controlling frequencies; the company began regular Trentian and Sanese-language shortwave broadcasts in 1935 under the name '''Radio Mitoyagi''', initially aimed at ethnic Sanese listeners in [[Kazan]] and the west coast of [[Euphemia]]. By the late 1930s KTK's overseas broadcasts were known as '''Radio Okami''', which became an official name in 1941. <br />
<br />
In November 1947, the [[Imperial Sanese Army]] nationalised all public news agencies and coordinated their efforts via the Information Liaison Confidential Committee. All published and broadcast news reports became official announcements of the Imperial Army General Headquarters in Okami for the duration of Great Adonian War. The famous [[Okami Rose]] wartime programs were broadcasts by Radio Okami. Radio Okami also broadcast the ''[[Gyokuon-hōsō]]'', the surrender speech made by Emperor [[Wakayama]], in August 1952.<br />
<br />
Following the war, in September 1952, all international broadcasting by KTK were banned, and several repurposed several KTK facilities and frequencies were made for use by the Far East Network (now Trentian Forces Network). Sanese-Trentian radio broadcaster Frank Shozo Baba joined KTK during this time and led an early postwar revamp of its programming. KTK's holdings were split into several companies in 1952; Radio Okaiken was made its separate entity on 7 July 1952 while its television broadcasting division was split into two: RMT (Radio Manabi Terebi) and RTK (Radio Terebi Koritsu). RMT focused on educational shows and women-oriented programming, while RTK focused on men-oriented shows, the news and action programming. RMT started the popular ''Onnamono'' dramas in 1957, while RTK introduced the equally popular ''[[Taisen drama]]''s in 1961. Radio Okaiken resumed overseas broadcasts in 1955. Later, all restrictions were lifted, including the development of camera and communication technologies. <br />
<br />
Both RTK and RMT would merge with Radio Okaiken in 1964 to create the modern KTK.<br />
<br />
RTK opened the first stage of its current headquarters in [[Okami]] as an international broadcasting center for the [[1960 Summer Adoniad]], the first widely-televised Adonian Games. The complex was gradually expanded through 1973, when it became the headquarters for KTK. The previous headquarters adjacent to [[Hibiya Park]] was redeveloped as the Hibiya City high-rise complex.<br />
<br />
KTK began satellite broadcasting on the KTK BS 1 channel in 1984, followed by KTK BS 2 in 1985. Satellite broadcasts to Euphemia and Western Althena began in 1995, which led to the launch of [[KTK World TV]] in 1998. It became [[wikipedia:free-to-air|free-to-air]] over the Astra 19.2°E (Astra 1L) and WAbird satellites in Western Althena in 2008. In April 2011, the BS 2 channel was re-branded as "BS Premium."<br />
<br />
KTK began [[wikipedia:digital television|digital television]] broadcasting in December 2000 on the BS Digital (BShi) station, followed by terrestrial digital TV broadcasts in three major metropolitan areas in 2003. Its digital television coverage gradually expanded to cover almost all of Okaiken by July 2011, when analog transmissions were discontinued. The digital broadcasts were later expanded to cover 4K coverage throughout Okaiken, and most programs began to broadcast on this resolution by May 2016. In February 2019, KTK began testing on 4K HDR Resolution, with the coverage of the 2019 Table Tennis Cup being the first broadcast at this resoltion. 8K Broadcasting was slated to begin on May 2019, but due to the unavailability of the 4K resolution to the general market, test broadcasts were moved to March 2020.<br />

Although KTK is a national distributor mandated by the government of Okaiken to broadcast its signals throughout the country, the organization depends on government-controlled local distributors for its radio and television content. These are funded through advertisement revenue as well as 0.3% of sales tax collected each year in the country.<br />

Module with helper functions for the [[Help:Graph|Graph]] extension to display graphs and maps. From [[:de:Modul:Graph]].<br />
<br />
== Functions for templates ==<br />
=== <code>map</code> ===<br />
Creates a JSON object for <code><nowiki><graph></nowiki></code> to display a political map with colored highlights. In the article namespace the template {{Template|Graph:Map}} should be used instead. See its page for use cases.<br />
<br />
Maps can be found at [[Special:Prefixindex/Template:Graph:Map/Inner/]] (for example [[Template:Graph:Map/Inner/Worldmap2c-json|Worldmap2c-json]] with country borders) and new maps should also be saved under Module:Graph/.<br />
<br />
'''Parameters:'''<br />
}}{{#ifeq:{{{1|map}}}|map|<!-- Parts to be transcluded from the wrapper Template:Graph:Map --><br />
* '''basemap:''' sets the base map. The map definitions must follow the [https://github.com/mbostock/topojson/wiki TopoJSON] format and if saved in Wikipedia are available for this module. Maps in the default directory [[Special:Prefixindex/Template:Graph:Map/Inner/]] like [[Template:Graph:Map/Inner/Worldmap2c-json|Worldmap2c-json]] should only be referenced by their name while omitting the Module:Graph/ prefix to allow better portability. The parameter also accepts URLs, e.g. maps from other Wikipedia versions (the link should follow the scheme of <code>//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=''mapname''&action=raw</code>, i.e. protocol-relative without leading http/s and a trailing action=raw to fetch the raw content only). <small>URLs to maps on external sites should be avoided for the sake of link stability, performance, security, and she be assumed to be blocked by the software or browser anyway.</small> <br />
* '''scale:''' the scaling factor of the map (default: 100)<br />
* '''projection:''' the [[:en:map projection|map projection]] to use. Supported values are listed at https://github.com/d3/d3-geo-projection. The default value is <code>equirectangular</code> for an [[:en:equirectangular projection|equirectangular projection]].<br />
* '''center:''' map center (corresponds in the map data to both comma-separated values of the <code>scale</code> field)<br />
* '''feature:''' which geographic objects should be displayed (corresponds in the map data to the name of the field under the <code>objects</code> field). The default is value <code>countries</code>.<br />
* '''ids of geographic entities''': The actual parameter names depend on the base map and the selected feature. For example, for the above mentioned world map the ids are [[:en:ISO country codes|ISO country codes]]. The values can be either colors or numbers in case the geographic entities should be associated with numeric data: <code>DE=lightblue</code> marks Germany in light blue color, and <code>DE=80.6</code> assigns Germany the value 80.6 (population in millions). In the latter case, the actual color depends on the following parameters.<br />
* '''colorScale:''' the color palette to use for the color scale. The palette must be provided as a comma-separated list of color values. The color values must be given either as <code>#rgb</code>/<code>#rrggbb</code> or by a [[:en:Web colors#X11 colour names|CSS color name]]. Instead of a list, the built-in color palettes [https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Ordinal-Scales#categorical-colors <code>category10</code> and <code>category20</code>] can also be used.<br />
* '''scaleType:''' supported values are <code>linear</code> for a linear mapping between the data values and the color scale, <code>log</code> for a log mapping, <code>pow</code> for a power mapping (the exponent can be provided as <code>pow 0.5</code>), <code>sqrt</code> for a square-root mapping, and <code>quantize</code> for a quantized scale, i.e. the data is grouped in as many classes as the color palette has colors.<br />
* '''domainMin:''' lower boundary of the data values, i.e. smaller data values are mapped to the lower boundary<br />
* '''domainMax:''' upper boundary of the data values, i.e. larger data values are mapped to the upper boundary<br />
* '''legend:''' show color legend (does not work with <code>quantize</code>)<br />
* '''defaultValue:''' default value for unused geographic entities. In case the id values are colors the default value is <code>silver</code>, in case of numbers it is 0.<br />
}}{{#if:{{{1|}}}||<br />
* '''formatjson:''' format JSON object for better legibility<br />
<br />
=== <code>chart</code> ===<br />
Creates a JSON object for <code><nowiki><graph></nowiki></code> to display charts. In the article namespace the template [[Template:Graph:Chart]] should be used instead. See its page for use cases.<br />
<br />
'''Parameters:'''<br />
}}{{#ifeq:{{{1|chart}}}|chart|<!-- Parts to be transcluded from the wrapper Template:Graph:Chart --><br />
* '''width''': width of the chart<br />
* '''height''': height of the chart<br />
* '''type''': type of the chart: <code>line</code> for [[:en:line chart|line chart]]s, <code>area</code> for [[:en:area chart|area chart]]s, and <code>rect</code> for (column) [[:en:bar chart|bar chart]]s, and <code>pie</code> for [[:en:pie chart|pie chart]]s. Multiple series can stacked using the <code>stacked</code> prefix, e.g. <code>stackedarea</code>.<br />
* '''interpolate''': [[:en:interpolation|interpolation]] method for line and area charts. It is recommended to use <code>monotone</code> for a [[:en:monotone cubic interpolation|monotone cubic interpolation]] – further supported values are listed at https://github.com/nyurik/vega/wiki/Marks#line.<br />
* '''colors''': color palette of the chart as a comma-separated list of colors. The color values must be given either as <code>#rgb</code>/<code>#rrggbb</code>/<code>#aarrggbb</code> or by a [[:en:Web colors#X11 colour names|CSS color name]]. For <code>#aarrggbb</code> the <code>aa</code> component denotes the [[:en:alpha channel|alpha channel]], i.e. FF=100% opacity, 80=50% opacity/transparency, etc. (The default color palette if n <= 10 is Category10: {{ChartColors|Categ20|10}} else is Category20: {{ChartColors|Categ20|20}}). See [[Template:ChartColors]] for details.<br />
* '''xAxisTitle''' and '''yAxisTitle''': captions of the x and y axes<br />
* '''xAxisMin''', '''xAxisMax''', '''yAxisMin''', and '''yAxisMax''': minimum and maximum values of the x and y axes (not yet supported for bar charts). These parameters can be used to invert the scale of a numeric axis by setting the lowest value to the Max and highest value to the Min.<br />
* '''xAxisFormat''' and '''yAxisFormat''': changes the formatting of the axis labels. Supported values are listed at https://github.com/d3/d3-3.x-api-reference/blob/master/Formatting.md#numbers for numbers. For example, the format <code>%</code> can be used to output percentages. For date/time specification of supported values is https://github.com/d3/d3-3.x-api-reference/blob/master/Time-Formatting.md , e.g. <code>xAxisFormat=%d-%m-%Y</code> for result 13-01-1977. <br />
* '''xAxisAngle''': rotates the x axis labels by the specified angle. Recommended values are: -45, +45, -90, +90<br />
* '''xType''' and '''yType''': data types of the values, e.g. <code>integer</code> for integers, <code>number</code> for real numbers, <code>date</code> for dates (e.g. YYYY-MM-DD), and <code>string</code> for ordinal values (use <code>string</code> to prevent axis values from being repeated when there are only a few values). Remarks: <code>Date</code> type doesn't work for bar graphs. For <code>date</code> data input please use ISO date format (e.g. YYYY-MM-DD) acc. to [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Date_and_time_formats date and time formats used in HTML]. Other date formats may work but not in all browsers. Date is unfortunately displayed only in en-US format for all Wikipedia languages. Workaround is to use '''xAxisFormat''' and '''yAxisFormat''' with numerical dates format. <br />
* '''xScaleType''' and '''yScaleType''': scale types of the x and y axes, e.g. <code>linear</code> for linear scale (default), <code>log</code> for logarithmic scale and <code>sqrt</code> for square root scale.<br />
*:A logarithmic chart allows only positive values to be plotted. A square root scale chart cannot show negative values.<br />
* '''x''': the x-values as a comma-separated list, for dates and time see remark in '''xType''' and '''yType'''<br />
* '''y''' or '''y1''', '''y2''', …: the y-values for one or several data series, respectively. For pie charts <code>y2</code> denotes the radius of the corresponding sectors. For dates and time see remark in '''xType''' and '''yType'''<br />
* '''legend''': show legend (only works in case of multiple data series)<br />
* '''y1Title''', '''y2Title''', …: defines the label of the respective data series in the legend<br />
* '''linewidth''': line width for line charts or distance between the pie segments for pie charts. Setting to 0 with <code>type=line</code> creates a scatter plot.<br />
* '''linewidths''': different line widths may be defined for each series of data with csv, if set to 0 with "showSymbols" results with points graph, eg.: <code>linewidths=1, 0, 5, 0.2</code><br />
* '''showSymbols''': show symbol on data point for line graphs, if a number is provided, the symbol size (default 2.5) may be defined for each data series, eg.: <code>showSymbols=1, 2, 3, 4</code><br />
* '''symbolsShape''': custom shape for symbol: circle, x, square, cross, diamond, triangle_up, triangle_down, triangle_right, triangle_left. May be defined for each series of data with csv, eg.: <code>symbolsShape= circle, cross, square</code><br />
* '''symbolsNoFill''': if true symbol will be without fill (only stroke),<br />
* '''symbolsStroke''': if "x" symbol is used or option "symbolsNoFill" symbol stroke width, default 2.5<br />
* '''showValues''': Additionally, output the y values as text. (Currently, only (non-stacked) bar and pie charts are supported.) The output can be configured used the following parameters provided as <code>name1:value1, name2:value2</code> (e.g. {{para|showValues|fontcolor:blue,angle:0}}).<br />
** '''format''': Format the output according to https://github.com/d3/d3-3.x-api-reference/blob/master/Formatting.md#numbers for numbers and https://github.com/d3/d3-3.x-api-reference/blob/master/Time-Formatting.md for date/time.<br />
** '''fontcolor''': text color<br />
** '''fontsize''': text size<br />
** '''offset''': move text by the given offset. For bar charts and pie charts with <code>midangle</code> this also defines if the text is inside or outside the chart.<br />
** '''angle''' (pie charts only): text angle in degrees or <code>midangle</code> (default) for dynamic angles based on the mid-angle of the pie sector.<br />
* '''innerRadius''': For pie charts: defines the inner radius to create a ''doughnut chart''.<br />
* '''xGrid''' and '''yGrid''': display grid lines on the x and y axes.<br />
* '''Annotations'''<br />
** '''vAnnotatonsLine''' and '''hAnnotatonsLine''': display vertical or horizontal annotation lines on specific values e.g. <code>hAnnotatonsLine=4, 5, 6</code><br />
** '''vAnnotatonsLabel''' and '''hAnnotatonsLabel''': display vertical or horizontal annotation labels for lines e.g. <code>hAnnotatonsLabel = label1, label2, label3</code><br />
}}{{#if:{{{1|}}}||<br />
* '''formatjson''': format JSON object for better legibility<br />

-- BUGS: X-Axis label format bug? (xAxisFormat =) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Graph:Chart#X-Axis_label_format_bug?_(xAxisFormat_=)<br />
-- linewidths - doesnt work for two values (eg 0, 1) but work if added third value of both are zeros? Same for marksStroke - probably bug in Graph extension<br />
-- clamp - "clamp" used to avoid marks outside marks area, "clip" should be use instead but not working in Graph extension, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T251709<br />
-- TODO: <br />
-- marks:<br />
-- - line strokeDash + serialization,<br />
-- - symStroke serialization<br />
-- - symbolsNoFill serialization<br />
-- - arbitrary SVG path symbol shape as symbolsShape argument<br />
-- - annotations<br />
-- - vertical / horizontal line at specific values [DONE] 2020-09-01<br />
-- - rectangle shape for x,y data range<br />
-- - graph type serialization (deep rebuild reqired)<br />
-- - second axis (deep rebuild required - assignment of series to one of two axies) <br />

{{nihongo|'''Taisen drama'''|大戦ドラマ|Taisen dorama|"Big Battle Drama"}} is the name [[KTK]] gives to the annual, year-long [[wikipedia:Historical novel|historical fiction]] television series it broadcasts in [[Okaiken]]. Beginning in 1963 with the black-and-white ''Hana no Shōgai'', starring [[wikipedia:kabuki|kabuki]] actor Onoe Shōroku and [[wikipedia:Takarazuka Revue|Takarazuka]] star Awashima Chikage, the network has hired a producer, director, writer, music director, and actors for the series. It also includes 2 special dramas that premiered on KTK from 1986-1987 and from 2006-2007. The 45-minute show airs on the KTK General network every Sunday at 20:00, with rebroadcasts on Saturdays at 13:05. Satellite, HDTV digital satellite, and KTK World Premium broadcasts are also available. <br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
The main focus of these dramas is warfare, hence its name. However, taisen dramas also focuses on a person or an event in Sanese History with the notable exception of the 2011 Taisen Drama ''[[Abbasid (Taisen drama)|Abbasid]]'', which is set in [[Andalus]] during the Great Adonian War and features the life of [[Junichiro Maeda]], a Sanese Doctor working at the area and was instrumental in saving 2,500 Jews. Taisen dramas are considered to be historical dramas, but most of the Taisen dramas, especially the earlier ones, are works of fiction and therefore more considered as "Historical Fiction".<br />
<br />
The main characters that play for these dramas are usually males; females are usually cast as the second main character or a support character in the dramas. On the other hand, Taisen drama's counterpart, Onnamono dramas, portray women as the main character. <br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The concept of the Taisen drama was introduced in the late 1950s as a response to the Shaydian Army's withdrawal of its troops in Okaiken. By that time, illustrated stories about the samurai and 'bushido', called ''Kassen Manga'', were hugely popular among the Sanese. Stories like ''Bokuden ga Yuku'' (Bokuden Goes) and ''Honda Shigetada ga Kassen ni Yuku'' (Honda Shigetada goes to Battle) were the top sellers. Sword ownership bans were also lifted in 1956 and several castles destroyed in the Great War were rebuilt; the most well known to be rebuilt, Matsushiro and Suemori Castles, were restored to their original states.<br />
<br />
RTK, who had been struggling to attract viewers from RMT's ''Onnamono'' Dramas (both RTK and RMT would merge in 1964 to create the present KTK), changed its strategy towards television broadcasting and began to research on possible programs. Sugihara Shinichi, the president at that time, suggested to target the male demographic and young people, so a series of 10-minute shorts called ''Samurai Monogatari'' were created. Much to Sugihara's prediction, the response had been overwhelming positive, so he expanded the ''Samurai Monogatari'' to 30 minutes, eventually creating the Jidaigeki genre commonly found in Sanese Television. <br />
<br />
As more books about the Okaiken samurai were being published, RTK began to address authors and manga artists to write up a Jidaigeki broadcast that would be the response to the ''Onnamono'' dramas every week. Sanese author Nishida Goromaru came up with an idea of an annual hour long broadcast of an important person in Sanese History every week. Several producers and directors supported the idea, and RTK adopted the Taisen drama concept in June 7, 1960. The very first series of the Taisen drama, ''Hana no Shogai'', was met with mixed reviews and were unable to beat the high ratings of the ''Onnamono'' drama ''Oya no Mono''. RTK was ready to cancel the concept after the show ended in 1961 but Nishida insisted that the Taisen drama can become a great success by using written content of authors as well as new concepts being proposed by writers at that time, such as an emphasis over battle strategies, brutality and consequential actions. RTK hired Hirooka Matsushiro to create the second and third Taisen dramas. The third series that Matsushiro created through RTK, ''Taiko no Mondai'', achieved critical and commercial success, and thus the concept of the Taisen drama was finalized in August 14, 1963.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Taisen drama'''|大戦ドラマ|Taisen dorama|"Big Battle Drama"}} is the name [[KTK]] gives to the annual, year-long [[wikipedia:Historical novel|historical fiction]] television series it broadcasts in [[Okaiken]]. Beginning in 1963 with the black-and-white ''Hana no Shōgai'', starring [[wikipedia:kabuki|kabuki]] actor Onoe Shōroku and [[wikipedia:Takarazuka Revue|Takarazuka]] star Awashima Chikage, the network has hired a producer, director, writer, music director, and actors for the series. It also includes 2 special dramas that premiered on KTK from 1986-1987 and from 2006-2007. The 45-minute show airs on the KTK General network every Sunday at 20:00, with rebroadcasts on Saturdays at 13:05. Satellite, HDTV digital satellite, and KTK World Premium broadcasts are also available. <br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
The main focus of these dramas is warfare, hence its name. However, taisen dramas also focuses on a person or an event in Sanese History with the notable exception of the 2011 Taisen Drama ''[[Abbasid (Taisen drama)|Abbasid]]'', which is set in [[Andalus]] during the Great Adonian War and features the life of [[Junichiro Maeda]], a Sanese Doctor working at the area and was instrumental in saving 2,500 Jews. Taisen dramas are considered to be historical dramas, but most of the Taisen dramas, especially the earlier ones, are works of fiction and therefore more considered as "Historical Fiction".<br />
<br />
The main characters that play for these dramas are usually males; females are usually cast as the second main character or a support character in the dramas. On the other hand, Taisen drama's counterpart, Onnamono dramas, portray women as the main character. <br />
<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The concept of the Taisen drama was introduced in the late 1950s as a response to the Shaydian Army's withdrawal of its troops in Okaiken. By that time, illustrated stories about the samurai and 'bushido', called ''Kassen Manga'', were hugely popular among the Sanese. Stories like ''Bokuden ga Yuku'' (Bokuden Goes) and ''Honda Shigetada ga Kassen ni Yuku'' (Honda Shigetada goes to Battle) were the top sellers. Sword ownership bans were also lifted in 1956 and several castles destroyed in the Great War were rebuilt; the most well known to be rebuilt, Matsushiro and Suemori Castles, were restored to their original states.<br />
<br />
RTK, who had been struggling to attract viewers from RMT's ''Onnamono'' Dramas (both RTK and RMT would merge in 1964 to create the present KTK), changed its strategy towards television broadcasting and began to research on possible programs. Sugihara Shinichi, the president at that time, suggested to target the male demographic and young people, so a series of 10-minute shorts called ''Samurai Monogatari'' were created. Much to Sugihara's prediction, the response had been overwhelming positive, so he expanded the ''Samurai Monogatari'' to 30 minutes, eventually creating the Jidaigeki genre commonly found in Sanese Television. <br />
<br />
As more books about the Okaiken samurai were being published, RTK began to address authors and manga artists to write up a Jidaigeki broadcast that would be the response to the ''Onnamono'' dramas every week. Sanese author Nishida Goromaru came up with an idea of an annual hour long broadcast of an important person in Sanese History every week. Several producers and directors supported the idea, and RTK adopted the Taisen drama concept in June 7, 1960. The very first series of the Taisen drama, ''Hana no Shogai'', was met with mixed reviews and were unable to beat the high ratings of the ''Onnamono'' drama ''Oya no Mono''. RTK was ready to cancel the concept after the show ended in 1961 but Nishida insisted that the Taisen drama can become a great success by using written content of authors as well as new concepts being proposed by writers at that time, such as an emphasis over battle strategies, brutality and consequential actions. RTK hired Hirooka Matsushiro to create the second and third Taisen dramas. The third series that Matsushiro created through RTK, ''Taiko no Mondai'', achieved critical and commercial success, and thus the concept of the Taisen drama was finalized in August 14, 1963.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Anjō Motoyasu'''|安条元康||extra=15 July 1576 - 22 March 1643}} was a prominent Sanese samurai who lived during the Sengoku and Seto-Tosa periods. Born in the Mikata Domain, Okaiken, Motoyasu was the eldest son of Anjō Motonobu, a respected daimyō who ruled over the territory of Mikata. Following his father's untimely demise in the Battle of Saikawa, Motoyasu, at the tender age of 14, assumed the mantle of leadership over his father's clan.<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
<br />
Motoyasu grew up in a household that reverberated with the values of martial arts, military strategy, loyalty, and honor. From an early age, he received a rigorous education that encompassed these vital subjects. The teachings instilled in him a deep sense of responsibility and a firm belief in the importance of upholding the principles of the Anjō clan.<br />
<br />
Motoyasu was born on July 15, 1576, in the Mikata Domain of Okaiken. He was the eldest son of Anjō Motonobu, a prominent daimyō who ruled over a territory in Mikata. From a young age, Motoyasu was immersed in a household that highly valued martial arts and military strategy. His father recognized his potential and ensured that he received a rigorous education in these disciplines. Under the guidance of skilled mentors and instructors, Motoyasu honed his martial skills and developed a deep understanding of military strategy. He spent countless hours practicing swordsmanship, archery, and horsemanship, striving to excel in every aspect. In addition to physical training, Motoyasu also received a comprehensive education, studying historical battles and tactical treatises that shaped his strategic thinking.<br />
<br />
Motoyasu's early years were not solely focused on martial pursuits. The turbulent political climate and constant warfare served as the backdrop to his formative years, imprinting upon him the importance of strength, resilience, and adaptability. Despite the challenging circumstances, Motoyasu's upbringing provided him with a solid foundation for his future endeavors. His early exposure to martial arts, military strategy shaped his character and prepared him for the responsibilities as a samurai. These formative experiences would prove instrumental in his later military career, where he would rise to become one of the most respected and accomplished warriors of his time.<br />
<br />
==Military Career==<br />
<br />
Anjō Motoyasu swiftly emerged as a formidable warrior and a gifted strategist. He participated in numerous battles during the Sengoku Period, earning praise from his superiors for his unwavering bravery and exceptional skill on the battlefield.<br />
<br />
One of Motoyasu's most remarkable victories came during the Invasion of Yagikoshu in 1592. Despite facing overwhelming odds against a much larger Uesugi army, Motoyasu defied expectations and led a small force of samurai to triumph. Employing a combination of surprise attacks and ingenious tactics, Motoyasu orchestrated a devastating ambush. By strategically positioning his men in the trees and bushes near the Uesugi camp, his forces caught the enemy off guard and swiftly turned the tide of battle, emerging victorious. Motoyasu recognized the challenges ahead and meticulously planned his strategy for the invasion. He assembled a diverse and well-trained force, comprising experienced samurai, foot soldiers, and archers. Understanding the importance of intelligence gathering, he dispatched scouts to gather information about the Uesugi clan's troop movements, fortifications, and supply lines. This information would prove crucial in the execution of his strategy.<br />
<br />
One of Motoyasu's key strengths as a military commander was his ability to adapt and innovate. He understood that a direct confrontation with the larger and more established Uesugi army would be disadvantageous. Instead, he devised a plan that leveraged guerrilla tactics, surprise attacks, and diversionary maneuvers to weaken the Uesugi forces and exploit their vulnerabilities.<br />
<br />
The invasion began with a series of lightning-fast raids and skirmishes, aimed at disrupting Uesugi supply lines and sowing confusion among their ranks. Motoyasu's forces targeted key logistical points, such as granaries and armories, while avoiding direct confrontations with the main Uesugi army. These hit-and-run tactics proved highly effective, inflicting significant losses on the Uesugi forces and weakening their morale. Motoyasu's ability to coordinate his troops and maintain their morale under challenging circumstances was a testament to his leadership skills. He instilled a sense of discipline and loyalty among his men, fostering a cohesive and determined fighting force.<br />
<br />
The decisive moment of the Second Invasion of Yagikoshu came in the Second Battle of Saikawa. Motoyasu identified Saikawa Castle as a crucial stronghold controlled by the Uesugi forces, serving as a linchpin in their defensive strategy. Capturing Saikawa Castle would not only weaken the Uesugi clan's grip on the region but also provide a strategic advantage for the Honda forces. Motoyasu devised a multifaceted plan to capture Saikawa Castle. He initiated a two-pronged attack, with one force launching a frontal assault on the castle gates, while another group conducted a diversionary attack on the Uesugi rear. The diversionary attack succeeded in drawing a significant portion of the Uesugi forces away from the main battlefront, creating an opportunity for the Honda forces to breach the castle defenses.<br />
<br />
The Battle of Saikawa was intense and hard-fought, with both sides displaying remarkable resilience and determination. Motoyasu led his troops from the frontlines, rallying them with his unwavering courage and strategic acumen. Despite facing staunch resistance, the Honda forces gradually gained the upper hand, overwhelming the Uesugi defenders with their coordinated assaults and superior tactics. With the fall of Saikawa Castle, The Anjō clan was finally able to take over Northern Yagikoshu and avenge the disastrous First Invasion of Yagikoshu.<br />
<br />
In the Battle of Otarai in 1600, Motoyasu demonstrated his prowess once again. Leading a combined force of Okaiken and Honda samurai against a sizable army of Takigawa loyalists, he engaged in a fiercely contested conflict. Employing a blend of surprise attacks, guerrilla warfare, and superior tactical maneuvers, Motoyasu secured a hard-fought victory. This triumph played a crucial role in securing overall victory for the Honda clan in the Battle of Tone, a turning point that marked the end of the Sengoku Period.<br />
<br />
Following the pivotal Battle of Sekigahara, Motoyasu assumed the role of a diplomat, representing Honda Shigetada's foreign affairs. With his astute diplomatic skills, he successfully fostered and maintained amicable relations between Okaiken and other nations, solidifying the clan's position on the regional stage.<br />
<br />
Motoyasu's military career showcased his remarkable abilities as a skilled warrior and a talented strategist. He remained a loyal retainer to Honda Shigetada, albeit with shades of complexity. Ambitious and driven, Motoyasu was known to make choices that aligned with his personal interests, even if it meant betraying his allies.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Career==<br />
<br />
After the Battle of Tone, Motoyasu turned his attention to the task of rebuilding and revitalizing his clan's territory. Gifted with administrative acumen, he set about restoring the fortunes of the Anjō clan. His capable leadership allowed him to implement measures that improved the lives of his subjects, earning him a reputation for fairness and justice.<br />
<br />
==Later Life and Legacy==<br />
<br />
Motoyasu continued to serve as a daimyō until his passing in 1643. Throughout his life, he garnered widespread respect as a revered leader and a skilled warrior. His enduring influence solidified his position as one of the pivotal figures in the annals of Okaiken's history.<br />
<br />
Anjō Motoyasu's legacy is one marked by his exceptional military achievements, strategic acumen, and unwavering loyalty. His pivotal role in expanding the territorial influence of the Anjō clan was matched only by his diplomatic endeavors, which contributed significantly to fostering cordial relations with neighboring lands.<br />
<br />
==Personal Life==<br />
<br />
Motoyasu's personal life was marked by significant relationships and familial connections that played a role in shaping his experiences and decisions.<br />
<br />
Motoyasu was married twice in his lifetime. His first wife was Oyui, the daughter of Fukumoto Motonari, a powerful daimyō from a neighboring domain. The marriage was primarily arranged for political and strategic reasons, aiming to strengthen alliances between the Anjō and Fukumoto clans. Despite the union, Motoyasu and Oyui had no children. It is said that they had a cordial relationship, but their marriage lacked the emotional depth and companionship that Motoyasu longed for. <br />
<br />
Motoyasu entered into a second marriage with Masako, the younger sister of Honda Shigetomo, a prominent daimyō and Motoyasu's close ally. Masako was known for her beauty, intelligence, and strong character. Their marriage proved to be a fruitful one, as they had 3 sons together: Motokatsu, who would later inherit Motoyasu's legacy; Motoshige, who would establish a branch of the Anjō clan in Saikawa; and Motosada, who was killed in the Battle of Ichijōdani.<br />
<br />
Despite the demands of his military career and the tumultuous times he lived in, Motoyasu cherished his family and sought solace and support in their presence. He valued the stability and comfort that his family provided, offering him a sense of purpose beyond the battlefield. Motoyasu's relationship with his son, Motokatsu, was particularly important to him, as he saw in him the potential to carry on the family name and continue the Anjō lineage.<br />
<br />
Beyond his immediate family, Motoyasu also maintained close relationships with his comrades and fellow warriors. Motoyasu fostered deep bonds of trust and respect with his retainers. He was known to be a fair and just leader, taking care of his subordinates and valuing their contributions to his military endeavors. Motoyasu sought a balance between his duties as a daimyō and the desire for companionship and family. While the demands of his military career often took precedence, he valued the support and stability that his loved ones provided. These personal relationships and connections served as an anchor for Motoyasu, offering him solace and motivation amidst the tumultuous times he lived in.<br />
<br />
==Appraisal==<br />
<br />
Anjō Motoyasu was a multifaceted and enigmatic figure. While admired for his remarkable military prowess, strategic brilliance, and loyalty to his lord, he possessed traits that were both admirable and contentious. His ambition and ruthlessness, juxtaposed with his sense of duty and dedication, added complexity to his character. Despite these contradictions, Motoyasu left an indelible mark on the history of Okaiken, instrumental in shaping its destiny and earning his place as one of its most esteemed figures.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Anjō Motoyasu'''|安条元康||extra=15 July 1576 - 22 March 1643 (aged 66)}} was a prominent Sanese samurai who lived during the Sengoku and Seto-Tosa periods. Born in the Mikata Domain, Okaiken, Motoyasu was the eldest son of Anjō Motonobu, a respected daimyō who ruled over the territory of Mikata. Following his father's untimely demise in the Battle of Saikawa, Motoyasu, at the tender age of 14, assumed the mantle of leadership over his father's clan.<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
<br />
Motoyasu grew up in a household that reverberated with the values of martial arts, military strategy, loyalty, and honor. From an early age, he received a rigorous education that encompassed these vital subjects. The teachings instilled in him a deep sense of responsibility and a firm belief in the importance of upholding the principles of the Anjō clan.<br />
<br />
==Military Career==<br />
<br />
Anjō Motoyasu swiftly emerged as a formidable warrior and a gifted strategist. He participated in numerous battles during the Sengoku Period, earning praise from his superiors for his unwavering bravery and exceptional skill on the battlefield.<br />
<br />
One of Motoyasu's most remarkable victories came during the Invasion of Yagikoshu in 1592. Despite facing overwhelming odds against a much larger Uesugi army, Motoyasu defied expectations and led a small force of samurai to triumph. Employing a combination of surprise attacks and ingenious tactics, Motoyasu orchestrated a devastating ambush. By strategically positioning his men in the trees and bushes near the Uesugi camp, his forces caught the enemy off guard and swiftly turned the tide of battle, emerging victorious. Motoyasu recognized the challenges ahead and meticulously planned his strategy for the invasion. He assembled a diverse and well-trained force, comprising experienced samurai, foot soldiers, and archers. Understanding the importance of intelligence gathering, he dispatched scouts to gather information about the Uesugi clan's troop movements, fortifications, and supply lines. This information would prove crucial in the execution of his strategy.<br />
<br />
One of Motoyasu's key strengths as a military commander was his ability to adapt and innovate. He understood that a direct confrontation with the larger and more established Uesugi army would be disadvantageous. Instead, he devised a plan that leveraged guerrilla tactics, surprise attacks, and diversionary maneuvers to weaken the Uesugi forces and exploit their vulnerabilities.<br />
<br />
The invasion began with a series of lightning-fast raids and skirmishes, aimed at disrupting Uesugi supply lines and sowing confusion among their ranks. Motoyasu's forces targeted key logistical points, such as granaries and armories, while avoiding direct confrontations with the main Uesugi army. These hit-and-run tactics proved highly effective, inflicting significant losses on the Uesugi forces and weakening their morale. Motoyasu's ability to coordinate his troops and maintain their morale under challenging circumstances was a testament to his leadership skills. He instilled a sense of discipline and loyalty among his men, fostering a cohesive and determined fighting force.<br />
<br />
The decisive moment of the Second Invasion of Yagikoshu came in the Second Battle of Saikawa. Motoyasu identified Saikawa Castle as a crucial stronghold controlled by the Uesugi forces, serving as a linchpin in their defensive strategy. Capturing Saikawa Castle would not only weaken the Uesugi clan's grip on the region but also provide a strategic advantage for the Honda forces. Motoyasu devised a multifaceted plan to capture Saikawa Castle. He initiated a two-pronged attack, with one force launching a frontal assault on the castle gates, while another group conducted a diversionary attack on the Uesugi rear. The diversionary attack succeeded in drawing a significant portion of the Uesugi forces away from the main battlefront, creating an opportunity for the Honda forces to breach the castle defenses.<br />
<br />
The Battle of Saikawa was intense and hard-fought, with both sides displaying remarkable resilience and determination. Motoyasu led his troops from the frontlines, rallying them with his unwavering courage and strategic acumen. Despite facing staunch resistance, the Honda forces gradually gained the upper hand, overwhelming the Uesugi defenders with their coordinated assaults and superior tactics. With the fall of Saikawa Castle, The Anjō clan was finally able to take over Northern Yagikoshu and avenge the disastrous First Invasion of Yagikoshu.<br />
<br />
In the Battle of Otarai in 1600, Motoyasu demonstrated his prowess once again. Leading a combined force of Okaiken and Honda samurai against a sizable army of Takigawa loyalists, he engaged in a fiercely contested conflict. Employing a blend of surprise attacks, guerrilla warfare, and superior tactical maneuvers, Motoyasu secured a hard-fought victory. This triumph played a crucial role in securing overall victory for the Honda clan in the Battle of Tone, a turning point that marked the end of the Sengoku Period.<br />
<br />
Following the pivotal Battle of Sekigahara, Motoyasu assumed the role of a diplomat, representing Honda Shigetada's foreign affairs. With his astute diplomatic skills, he successfully fostered and maintained amicable relations between Okaiken and other nations, solidifying the clan's position on the regional stage.<br />

Motoyasu's military career showcased his remarkable abilities as a skilled warrior and a talented strategist. He remained a loyal retainer to Honda Shigetada, albeit with shades of complexity. Ambitious and driven, Motoyasu was known to make choices that aligned with his personal interests, even if it meant betraying his allies.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Anjō Motoyasu'''|安条元康||extra=15 July 1576 - 22 March 1643 (aged 66)}} was a prominent Sanese samurai who lived during the Sengoku and Seto-Tosa periods. Born in the Mikata Domain, Okaiken, Motoyasu was the eldest son of Anjō Motonobu, a respected daimyō who ruled over the territory of Mikata. Following his father's untimely demise in the Battle of Saikawa, Motoyasu, at the tender age of 14, assumed the mantle of leadership over his father's clan.<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
<br />
Motoyasu grew up in a household that reverberated with the values of martial arts, military strategy, loyalty, and honor. From an early age, he received a rigorous education that encompassed these vital subjects. The teachings instilled in him a deep sense of responsibility and a firm belief in the importance of upholding the principles of bushido.<br />
<br />
==Military Career==<br />
<br />
Anjō Motoyasu swiftly emerged as a formidable warrior and a gifted strategist. He participated in numerous battles during the Sengoku Period, earning praise from his superiors for his unwavering bravery and exceptional skill on the battlefield.<br />
<br />
One of Motoyasu's most remarkable victories came during the Invasion of Yagikoshu in 1592. Despite facing overwhelming odds against a much larger Uesugi army, Motoyasu defied expectations and led a small force of samurai to triumph. Employing a combination of surprise attacks and ingenious tactics, Motoyasu orchestrated a devastating ambush. By strategically positioning his men in the trees and bushes near the Uesugi camp, his forces caught the enemy off guard and swiftly turned the tide of battle, emerging victorious. Motoyasu recognized the challenges ahead and meticulously planned his strategy for the invasion. He assembled a diverse and well-trained force, comprising experienced samurai, foot soldiers, and archers. Understanding the importance of intelligence gathering, he dispatched scouts to gather information about the Uesugi clan's troop movements, fortifications, and supply lines. This information would prove crucial in the execution of his strategy.<br />
<br />
One of Motoyasu's key strengths as a military commander was his ability to adapt and innovate. He understood that a direct confrontation with the larger and more established Uesugi army would be disadvantageous. Instead, he devised a plan that leveraged guerrilla tactics, surprise attacks, and diversionary maneuvers to weaken the Uesugi forces and exploit their vulnerabilities.<br />
<br />
The invasion began with a series of lightning-fast raids and skirmishes, aimed at disrupting Uesugi supply lines and sowing confusion among their ranks. Motoyasu's forces targeted key logistical points, such as granaries and armories, while avoiding direct confrontations with the main Uesugi army. These hit-and-run tactics proved highly effective, inflicting significant losses on the Uesugi forces and weakening their morale. Motoyasu's ability to coordinate his troops and maintain their morale under challenging circumstances was a testament to his leadership skills. He instilled a sense of discipline and loyalty among his men, fostering a cohesive and determined fighting force.<br />
<br />
The decisive moment of the Second Invasion of Yagikoshu came in the Second Battle of Saikawa. Motoyasu identified Saikawa Castle as a crucial stronghold controlled by the Uesugi forces, serving as a linchpin in their defensive strategy. Capturing Saikawa Castle would not only weaken the Uesugi clan's grip on the region but also provide a strategic advantage for the Honda forces. Motoyasu devised a multifaceted plan to capture Saikawa Castle. He initiated a two-pronged attack, with one force launching a frontal assault on the castle gates, while another group conducted a diversionary attack on the Uesugi rear. The diversionary attack succeeded in drawing a significant portion of the Uesugi forces away from the main battlefront, creating an opportunity for the Honda forces to breach the castle defenses.<br />
<br />
The Battle of Saikawa was intense and hard-fought, with both sides displaying remarkable resilience and determination. Motoyasu led his troops from the frontlines, rallying them with his unwavering courage and strategic acumen. Despite facing staunch resistance, the Honda forces gradually gained the upper hand, overwhelming the Uesugi defenders with their coordinated assaults and superior tactics. With the fall of Saikawa Castle, The Anjō clan was finally able to take over Northern Yagikoshu and avenge the disastrous First Invasion of Yagikoshu.<br />
<br />
In the Battle of Otarai in 1600, Motoyasu demonstrated his prowess once again. Leading a combined force of Okaiken and Honda samurai against a sizable army of Takigawa loyalists, he engaged in a fiercely contested conflict. Employing a blend of surprise attacks, guerrilla warfare, and superior tactical maneuvers, Motoyasu secured a hard-fought victory. This triumph played a crucial role in securing overall victory for the Honda clan in the Battle of Tone, a turning point that marked the end of the Sengoku Period.<br />
<br />
Following the pivotal Battle of Sekigahara, Motoyasu assumed the role of a diplomat, representing Honda Shigetada's foreign affairs. With his astute diplomatic skills, he successfully fostered and maintained amicable relations between Okaiken and other nations, solidifying the clan's position on the regional stage.<br />
<br />
Motoyasu's military career showcased his remarkable abilities as a skilled warrior and a talented strategist. He remained a loyal retainer to Honda Shigetada, albeit with shades of complexity. Ambitious and driven, Motoyasu was known to make choices that aligned with his personal interests, even if it meant betraying his allies.<br />
<br />
==Administrative Career==<br />
<br />
After the Battle of Tone, Motoyasu turned his attention to the task of rebuilding and revitalizing his clan's territory. Gifted with administrative acumen, he set about restoring the fortunes of the Anjō clan. His capable leadership allowed him to implement measures that improved the lives of his subjects, earning him a reputation for fairness and justice.<br />
<br />
==Later Life and Legacy==<br />
<br />
Motoyasu continued to serve as a daimyō until his passing in 1643. Throughout his life, he garnered widespread respect as a revered leader and a skilled warrior. His enduring influence solidified his position as one of the pivotal figures in the annals of Okaiken's history.<br />
<br />
Anjō Motoyasu's legacy is one marked by his exceptional military achievements, strategic acumen, and unwavering loyalty. His pivotal role in expanding the territorial influence of the Anjō clan was matched only by his diplomatic endeavors, which contributed significantly to fostering cordial relations with neighboring lands.<br />
<br />
==Personal Life==<br />
<br />
Motoyasu was married twice during his lifetime. His first wife was Oyui, the daughter of Fukumoto Motonari. However, their union did not bear any children. Subsequently, Motoyasu married Masako, the sister of Honda Shigetomo. Together, they had a son named Anjō Motokatsu.<br />
<br />
==Appraisal==<br />
<br />
Anjō Motoyasu was a multifaceted and enigmatic figure. While admired for his remarkable military prowess, strategic brilliance, and loyalty to his lord, he possessed traits that were both admirable and contentious. His ambition and ruthlessness, juxtaposed with his sense of duty and dedication, added complexity to his character. Despite these contradictions, Motoyasu left an indelible mark on the history of Okaiken, instrumental in shaping its destiny and earning his place as one of its most esteemed figures.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Anjō Motonobu '''|安条元信||extra=7 December 1534 – 3 October 1589}}, is a daimyō from the Sengoku Period of Mitoyagi. He is the leader of the Anjō clan from 1572 until his death at the battle of Mogami in 1589. He was regarded as one of [[Emperor Shirakawa of Mitoyagi|Honda Shigetada]]'s most reliable and trusted advisors, and his daughter Hatsu-no-kata was the primary wife of Shigetada. <br />
<br />
The Anjō clan under Motonobu was under the Taketoyo clan but were demoted from the ''fudai'' to the ''tozama'' after the maneuvers by the Taketoyo adviser Hachisuka Koroku; in an attempt to take over the small, but strategic town of Mikata from the Anjō. In response, Motonobu cut off all of his ties to the Taketoyo and sided with [[Ogasawara Terumasa]], sending his daughter Hatsu-no-kata to be wed to Terumasa. However, Terumasa refused to be married to her but Honda Shigetada suggested to be married with her as a vassal of the Ogasawara and support the Anjō clan. Motonobu, moved by the act, decided to become a vassal of Shigetada.<br />
<br />
As Shigetada's vassal, Motonobu quickly became known for his mastery of marine and water warfare, securing victories for the Honda clan at the invasions of Musashino and Yagikoshu. He was also instrumental in building several ships that would become the backbone of the first navy of Mitoyagi, the ''Anjō-Murakami Suigun''. However, during the invasion of Yagikoshū, he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Mogami after being trapped by the Uesugi forces in the Sai River. He was swept into the village of Kozuke-Sai after the battle, where he died in 3 October 1589. Honda Shigetada, later the Emperor Shirakawa, would later rename the town of Mogami to Anjō, where it would be later absorbed by Saikawa in 2008 to become Anjō-Saikawa.<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
Motonobu was born in in the province of Miyagi, Okaiken. He was the son of Anjō Motonaga, a vassal of the Taketoyo clan who were the lords of Kyoshu. Motonobu's family lived in a small village on the outskirts of Mikata, surrounded by rice paddies and lush green mountains. Despite being born into a samurai family, Motonobu spent much of his early childhood playing by the river that ran through the village, chasing after fish.<br />
<br />
As he grew older, Motonobu's family moved into a larger home in the town of Mikata, where his father worked as an administrator for the Taketoyo clan. Mikata was a bustling town, home to traders and merchants from all over Okaiken, and Motonobu was fascinated by the sights and sounds of the marketplaces and the busy streets.<br />
<br />
In his early teens, Motonobu began to receive samurai training from his father and other members of the Anjō clan. He learned how to use a sword and bow, as well as other martial arts techniques, and spent long hours practicing in the clan's home. Despite his samurai training, Motonobu never lost his love for the outdoors, and he continued to spend much of his free time exploring the surrounding countryside. He would often hike up into the mountains or paddle his way down the river, always eager to discover new sights and adventures. It was during one of these excursions that he first encountered the neighboring province of Sanno and its powerful daimyō, Ogasawara Terumasa, who would ultimately play a pivotal role in Motonobu's life.<br />

===Battle of Tsuitsui===<br />
<br />
{{main|Battle of Tsuitsui}}<br />
<br />
In Tsuitsui, the Honda clan sought to secure the strategically significant region. Motonobu, trusted for his tactical acumen, led the assault. His well-planned strategy involved coordinated land and naval attacks to dislodge the enemy and control the coastal waters. Motonobu's leadership and advanced ships initially granted the Honda forces an advantage. They dominated the waters, disrupting enemy supply lines. However, the enemy regrouped and launched a fierce counterattack. Motonobu's troops, facing exhaustion, struggled to maintain their position. Recognizing the situation, Motonobu ordered a tactical retreat to save lives and regroup. Although a setback, the retreat ensured the survival of a significant portion of the Honda forces. Despite the defeat, Motonobu's reputation as a skilled tactician and warrior remained unscathed. His subsequent engagements showcased his ongoing contributions to the Honda clan's military strategies. The Battle of Tsuitsui highlighted the importance of naval power and strategic planning.<br />

{{main|Battle of Saikawa}}<br />
<br />
After being defeated at the Battle of Tsuitsui on 2 September 1589, Motonobu retreated to Mogami castle on 4 September 1589. There, he had asked Shigetada through messengers to send more troops for the left army by five weeks or risk losing the entire left army. Mogami castle lay in a floodplain and the monsoon season had just begun. Motonobu had mastered water battles from an offensive standpoint but had never in defense. On 19 September 1589, Shigetada replied back through another messenger, writing that his own forces were in trouble from the Uesugi forces and suggested Motonobu to retreat 40 miles to Fukuda castle. However, the messenger was intercepted by the Uesugi forces and was killed. Shigekawa Toshiyuki, a retainer of the Uesugi, would use the intercepted intel and instructions against Motonobu's forces. Motonobu, anticipating his death after never receiving Shigetada's orders, wrote a death poem to Shigetada as a response; saying that it would be the last time they would hear from each other. It read like a suicide note once Shigetada receives it.<br />
<br />
"My name shall cross several seas and reach the realms of the ''Hokuban''", the letter's epilogue read. <br />
<br />
On 30 September 1589, while Motonobu and what was left of the Left army was preparing to cross the Sai River to retreat at Fukuda Castle, the Uesugi forces attacked from three sides. Some of the Left army regiments were able to return to Mogami castle but Motonobu was trapped in the middle of the river with the current steadily increasing from moderate rain in the morning, intensifying by the time of the skirmish. With the rain heavily pouring on the battlefield, Motonobu was unable to proceed with his horse and dismounted. He tried to tread his way back to Mogami castle but was encountered by two Uesugi soldiers who had pursued after him. The two soldiers were able to mortally wound Motonobu in a melee but was unable to kill him as he was swept away by the river's strengthening current when he fell. Motonobu was carried away by the current for five kilometres but miraculously never sank underwater during the ordeal; eventually Motonobu ended up at the shores of Kozuke-Sai, an outlying village that supports Mogami castle. He was later found by villagers, still conscious but was bleeding heavily. <br />
<br />
[[File:Saikawa AI Generated.png|350px|thumb|right|A modern interpretation of the Battle of Saikawa, where Motonobu was killed.]]<br />
<br />
The villagers were able to move and hide Motonobu at one of the storehouses in the village. Motonobu, beginning to lose consciousness, mentioned to the villagers that he had failed his clan and Honda Shigetada. The villagers comforted Motonobu by providing bandages and tea but Motonobu temporarily lost his consciousness due to shock. On 2 of October 1589 he had regained his consciousness and begged for a villager to bring him a dagger so he can commit ''seppuku'' as he had lost his weapons in the river when he was swept away by the current. Much to Motonobu's disappointment, the villager was unable to bring the dagger as he was just a lowly merchant and none of the farmers are willing to give away their tools for a futile act, in addition, none of them have swords to behead him to complete the process of ''seppuku''. The villagers instead comforted Motonobu by serving him more tea, fed him food and were able to stop external bleeding of Motonobu's wounds. However, the villagers realized that Motonobu had lost a considerable amount of blood when he was carried away by the river and was bleeding internally.<br />
<br />
One of the merchants asked Motonobu if he had any requests for Honda Shigetada. Motonobu declined as he already sent him a letter telling him that he was going to die before venturing out of Mogami castle, and went on to say a word of gratitude to the merchant who did not abandon him even though the territory had returned to the Uesugi's control. He requested to have his body buried in the village if he dies as it was the first and last time that ordinary citizens had helped him. He then gave the villager one of his buddha amulets that he had been carrying, before Motonobu lost consciousness a final time. Motonobu died on 3 October 1589 at the age of 54 years old.<br />
<br />
Days later, the village of Kozuke-Sai handed over Motonobu's body and his armour to Honda Shigetada, who was moved to tears knowing that he just lost one of his most important retainers of the clan. As what Motonobu had wished to the villagers, Shigetada promised that he would come to the village one day and bury Motonobu at Enkōji, the only temple of the village. Motonobu's body was cremated at Mikata, and his bones and ashes would be sent to Enkōji after the Uesugi were driven out by Shigetada in the Second Invasion of Yagikoshu. <br />
<br />
The remaining regiments of the Left army, under Sakakibara Yasuhide, retreated back to Kii castle on 6 October 1589, where he was able to sign a non-aggression pact with the Uesugi and allow them to return to Haruguni without harm.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Photo03.png |250px|thumb|right|Anjō Motonobu's ''Shōjō Jinbaori'', on display at the National Museum of History, Okami, Okaiken.]]<br />
<br />
From Western accounts, Anjō Motonobu was said to be a around 189 to 190 centimetres tall and was often depicted to have a large, muscular physical structure that often dwarfs other retainers and lords around him, including Honda Shigetada. He is often referred to as ''ōni-Motonobu'' due to his large physical appearance. Motonobu was often known for his physical strength, being able to lift an entire log by himself during the Battle of Morihama. Motonobu usually had long unkempt hair that was occasionally tied at the back and had grown a beard and a moustache. <br />
<br />
Unusual to other samurai armour during the era, Motonobu's armour doesn't include a ''sode''(shoulder armour) and opts for a ripped ''kote'' (armoured sleeve), which exposes his arms and shoulders in combat. This makes him an intimidating figure in the battlefield as well as allowing Motonobu to have more flexibility to use his arm strength. Shigetada's son [[Honda Shigetomo]] would later adopt Motonobu's example of not including shoulder armour and opting for a ripped ''kote''. Motonobu does not wear a ''kabuto'' (helmet) due to his long hair. Instead, he wears a head protection in a form of a ''hachigane'' (forehead protector) with sharp spikes. This often confused his adversaries as they thought of Motonobu as a regular Anjō foot soldier. <br />
<br />
In order to be identified as a retainer and vassal of the Honda clan, Motonobu wears a dark red ''shōjō jinbaori'' (vest). The materials used for the ''jinbaori'' came from Peilan and Kwangju. After being mortally wounded at the Battle of Mogami, Motonobu's ''shōjō jinbaori'' was found ripped due to the strength of the current that washed him off to Kozuke-Sai. The ripped ''jinbaori'' is currently on display at the National Museum of History in Okami.<br />

<div>The Battle of Saikawa was a pivotal military engagement that took place on September 30, 1589, during the turbulent Sengoku period in [[Okaiken|Mitoyagi]]. This clash between the forces of samurai [[Anjō Motonobu]] and the Uesugi clan proved to be a turning point in Motonobu's life and had far-reaching implications for the region.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
Anjō Motonobu, a skilled and loyal vassal of Honda Shigetada, had gained renown for his expertise in marine warfare and his instrumental role in securing victories for the Honda clan in previous campaigns. His mastery of water battles, particularly in offensive maneuvers, had earned him a reputation as an esteemed warrior.<br />
<br />
In the wake of the Battle of Tsuitsui on September 2, 1589, where Motonobu's forces suffered a significant defeat, he retreated to Mogami Castle on September 4. Faced with the potential loss of his left army, Motonobu urgently sought reinforcements from Honda Shigetada, warning that failure to do so within five weeks would risk the complete annihilation of the left army.<br />
<br />
==The Intercepted Messenger and Uesugi's Advantage==<br />
Motonobu's desperate plea for reinforcements reached Honda Shigetada, who replied on September 19 through another messenger. Shigetada suggested that Motonobu retreat to Fukuda Castle, as his own forces were under pressure from the Uesugi clan. Tragically, the messenger carrying Shigetada's reply fell into the hands of the Uesugi forces, who intercepted and killed him. This interception allowed the Uesugi clan, led by Shigekawa Toshiyuki, to exploit the intelligence and instructions against Motonobu's forces.<br />
<br />
==Troop Movements==<br />
The Battle of Saikawa was not only a clash of swords and valor but also a testament to strategic maneuvering and troop movements by both the Anjō and Uesugi armies. Understanding the intricacies of these military actions provides a deeper insight into the dynamics of the battle.<br />
<br />
As the Uesugi forces gathered their strength and prepared for an assault on Motonobu's army, they strategically planned their troop movements to capitalize on their advantage. Shigekawa Toshiyuki, a shrewd and experienced general, understood the importance of striking at the right time and exploiting any weaknesses in the enemy's defenses. The Uesugi army swiftly organized itself into three divisions, positioning them strategically around Motonobu's forces. One division, led by Uesugi generals Hachisuka Kōta and Ashikaga Toshikatsu, approached from the east. Another division, under the command of Uesugi general Maeda Toshinaga, advanced from the west. The final division, led by Shigekawa Toshiyuki himself, prepared to attack from the north.<br />
<br />
The Uesugi forces carefully coordinated their movements, synchronizing their assaults to encircle and overwhelm Motonobu's army. Their goal was to prevent any potential escape or reinforcement for the beleaguered samurai. The impending battle would be a test of Motonobu's leadership and the resilience of his troops.<br />
<br />
===Anjō Army's Position===<br />
<br />
Following the defeat at the Battle of Tsuitsui, Anjō Motonobu led his remaining forces in a strategic retreat to Mogami Castle on September 4, 1589. Recognizing the perilous situation they faced, Motonobu urgently dispatched messengers to Honda Shigetada, his lord and commander, requesting immediate reinforcement for the left army. He warned that failure to receive reinforcements within five weeks would lead to the loss of the entire left army.<br />
<br />
Mogami Castle, situated in a floodplain, presented a unique challenge for the Anjō army. The monsoon season had just begun, and the risk of flooding was imminent. Motonobu, renowned for his expertise in offensive marine warfare, now found himself in an unfamiliar defensive position. The castle's vulnerability to floods added an additional layer of complexity to the impending battle.<br />
<br />
===Uesugi Army's Strategy===<br />
<br />
The Uesugi army, led by their general Shigekawa Toshiyuki, was keenly aware of the dire situation faced by the Anjō forces. Intercepting one of the messengers sent by Motonobu to Honda Shigetada, the Uesugi forces gained valuable intelligence regarding the Anjō army's predicament. Armed with this information, Shigekawa devised a plan to exploit the vulnerable position of the Anjō forces.<br />
<br />
Realizing that Motonobu's army was expecting reinforcement from Shigetada, Shigekawa orchestrated a series of coordinated attacks to disrupt the Anjō army's plans. By intercepting and killing the messenger carrying Shigetada's reply, which suggested a retreat to Fukuda Castle, Shigekawa ensured that the Anjō forces remained unaware of their lord's advice.<br />
<br />
===Uesugi's Tactical Advantage===<br />
Shigekawa's successful interception of Shigetada's reply granted the Uesugi army a crucial advantage. With access to the intercepted intelligence and instructions, Shigekawa could strategically plan his attacks against the beleaguered Anjō forces.<br />
<br />
On September 30, 1589, as Motonobu and his remaining troops prepared to cross the Sai River in their retreat to Fukuda Castle, the Uesugi forces launched a surprise assault from three directions. The Uesugi army's tactical positioning and numerical superiority placed the Anjō forces at a significant disadvantage.<br />
<br />
The heavy rain that accompanied the battle further complicated the situation. The downpour intensified throughout the morning, creating treacherous conditions on the battlefield. Motonobu's troops struggled to maintain their footing, and their movements became sluggish and encumbered. The Uesugi forces, accustomed to the terrain and well-prepared for the inclement weather, capitalized on the situation.<br />
<br />
===Motonobu's Predicament===<br />
<br />
Caught in the middle of the Sai River, Motonobu and his remaining forces found themselves in a dire predicament. Surrounded by the relentless onslaught of the Uesugi army, their chances of survival dwindled with each passing moment. Motonobu knew that his only hope lay in a desperate attempt to retreat to safety. With the rain pouring incessantly, the once manageable Sai River transformed into a raging torrent. The currents grew stronger by the minute, posing a formidable obstacle for the already weary and battle-worn troops. Motonobu, fully aware of the dangers, made the difficult decision to dismount from his horse, realizing that it was hindering his chances of survival in the treacherous waters.<br />
<br />
On foot, Motonobu fought against the turbulent currents, struggling to maintain his balance and find stable ground. The rain-soaked battlefield turned into a muddy quagmire, making every step arduous and precarious. Each movement became a battle against nature itself as Motonobu fought to keep himself afloat and progress towards safety. The Uesugi soldiers, relentless in their pursuit, closed in on Motonobu and his remaining forces. Despite the torrential rain and the challenging terrain, the Uesugi troops displayed unwavering determination as they pressed forward, their eyes fixed on the retreating enemy.<br />
<br />
In the midst of the chaos, Motonobu's leadership shone through. He rallied his men, urging them to fight with every ounce of strength they had left. Together, they formed a defensive line, engaging the Uesugi forces in a fierce clash. Motonobu's expertise in water warfare became evident as he utilized the treacherous conditions to his advantage, employing tactics that disrupted the Uesugi soldiers' movements. However, the overwhelming numbers of the Uesugi army began to take their toll. Motonobu's forces, already depleted from previous battles, struggled to hold their ground. The Uesugi soldiers pressed their advantage, launching relentless attacks that threatened to overwhelm the embattled defenders.<br />
<br />
As the intensity of the rain increased, so did the strength of the currents. The once moderate rain became a torrential downpour, creating a deluge that further hampered Motonobu's efforts. The heavy rainfall impeded his visibility and disoriented him, adding to the already formidable challenges he faced. In this chaotic and desperate situation, Motonobu's options grew increasingly limited. The Uesugi soldiers, unyielding in their pursuit, closed in on him. Despite his valiant attempts to fend them off, the sheer numbers and their unwavering determination proved overwhelming. Engaging in a fierce melee, Motonobu fought with every ounce of strength he had left.<br />
<br />
Though he displayed incredible resilience and skill, Motonobu was ultimately outnumbered and overpowered. The Uesugi soldiers managed to inflict mortal wounds upon him, delivering blows that would have been fatal under ordinary circumstances. Motonobu fought valiantly, refusing to yield until the very end. As Motonobu's strength waned and his injuries incapacitated him, he was swept away by the unyielding force of the Sai River. The merciless currents carried him downstream, his body at the mercy of the relentless flow. It seemed as if his fate was sealed, destined to succumb to the watery depths. <br />
<br />
Remarkably, Motonobu defied the odds and managed to stay afloat. His unconscious body drifted for several kilometers, tossed and turned by the tumultuous waters. The river, like a capricious deity, spared him from sinking beneath its surface, preserving his life in a precarious balance.<br />
<br />
==Aftermath and Motonobu's Fate==<br />
<br />
Following the fierce battle in the Sai River, Anjō Motonobu's unconscious body was at the mercy of the powerful currents. Carried away by the relentless flow, his fate hung in the balance as he embarked on an extraordinary journey downstream. For several agonizing kilometers, Motonobu's body was at the mercy of the river. Tossed and turned by the tumultuous waters, he miraculously managed to stay afloat, defying the odds and evading the watery depths that threatened to claim his life. The rain continued to pour, intensifying the already treacherous conditions of his journey.<br />
<br />
Motonobu's voyage came to an unexpected end at the shores of Kozuke, a small village nestled along the banks of the Sai River. The villagers, going about their daily lives, were startled by the sight of a man being carried by the unforgiving current. With a mix of concern and curiosity, they rushed to the riverbank to investigate. To their astonishment, they discovered the unconscious and gravely wounded figure of Anjō Motonobu. The villagers acted swiftly, pulling him from the water's grasp and offering immediate assistance. Though battered and bleeding, Motonobu remained alive, clinging to life.<br />
<br />
Recognizing the significance of the situation, the villagers quickly realized that they had come upon a renowned samurai, a warrior of great stature who had been a key figure. Despite their humble backgrounds, they understood the gravity of the moment and the honor bestowed upon them by the presence of such a distinguished individual. With utmost care and compassion, the villagers carried Motonobu to safety, away from the riverside and into their village. They gathered in a collective effort, pooling their resources and knowledge to provide aid to the fallen warrior. It was an extraordinary display of unity and empathy, as the ordinary citizens rallied to support one who had fought for their land and clan.<br />
<br />
The villagers tended to Motonobu's wounds, doing their best to alleviate his suffering and stabilize his condition. Bandages were applied, and herbal remedies were administered in an attempt to stem the flow of blood and ease his pain. Tea, warm and soothing, was offered to provide some measure of comfort to the stricken warrior. Aware of his perilous state, Motonobu intermittently regained consciousness, his mind plagued by the weight of his perceived failure. In those moments of lucidity, he expressed gratitude to the villagers who had come to his aid, recognizing the selflessness and compassion that they had shown in their actions.<br />
<br />
Realizing that his time was limited, Motonobu reflected on his life and the loyalty he held towards Honda Shigetada. Though he had never received Shigetada's orders due to intercepted messengers, he had sent a letter to his lord, expressing his anticipation of his impending demise. It was a somber moment, as Motonobu confronted his mortality and prepared for the end that he believed awaited him. Amongst the villagers, a sense of solemnity prevailed, mingled with a deep admiration for the fallen warrior. They understood the gravity of the situation, recognizing that they were witnessing the final moments of a man who had dedicated his life to the service of his clan.<br />
<br />
As Motonobu's strength waned, he confided in one of the villagers, expressing his final wishes. He requested that his body be buried in the village, a testament to the ordinary citizens who had come to his aid in his darkest hour. Motonobu entrusted the villager with a buddha amulet, a cherished possession that he had carried with him, symbolizing his faith and resilience.<br />
<br />
On October 2, 1589, Motonobu regained consciousness momentarily and beseeched a villager to bring him a dagger for seppuku, intending to end his life honorably. However, the villager, a humble merchant, was unable to fulfill Motonobu's request. Neither possessing a dagger nor finding a willing participant to carry out the beheading, the villagers instead provided emotional support, served him tea, and tended to his wounds. Unfortunately, Motonobu had lost a significant amount of blood during his ordeal in the river. Despite the villagers' efforts to stabilize him, he succumbed to his injuries, passing away on October 3, 1589, at the age of 54.<br />
<br />
Days later, the villagers of Kozuke-Sai honored Motonobu's final wish. They entrusted his body and armor to Honda Shigetada, who was deeply moved by the sacrifice and loyalty demonstrated by the villagers. Shigetada vowed to visit the village and ensure that Motonobu received a proper burial at Enkōji, the sole temple in the village.<br />
<br />
Motonobu's remains were cremated at Mikata, and once the Uesugi forces were expelled by Honda Shigetada in the Second Invasion of Yagikoshu, his bones and ashes were respectfully interred at Enkōji, bringing closure to the fallen samurai's journey.<br />
<br />
==Legacy==<br />
The Battle of Saikawa stands as a testament to the unwavering loyalty and courage displayed by Anjō Motonobu, even in the face of insurmountable odds. Motonobu's determination to fulfill his duty as a retainer and his resilience in the face of defeat are a testament to the samurai spirit that defined the Sengoku period.<br />
<br />
The villagers of Kozuke-Sai, by sheltering and caring for Motonobu in his final moments, exemplified the compassion and selflessness ingrained in the fabric of Japanese society. Their act of solidarity with a fallen warrior serves as a reminder of the strength that can be found in community bonds, even during times of conflict.<br />
<br />
Motonobu's name continues to be revered and his story passed down through the generations, inspiring future warriors and reminding them of the sacrifices made by those who came before. The Battle of Saikawa remains etched in history as a testament to the indomitable spirit and honor of samurai like Anjō Motonobu, who dedicated their lives to their lords and clans during an era of turmoil and uncertainty.</div>ArrowHeadhttps://talod.shoutwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Anj%C5%8D_Motonobu&diff=5134Anjō Motonobu2023-06-11T02:23:28Z<p>ArrowHead: /* Battle of Tsuitsui */</p>

{{nihongo|'''Anjō Motonobu '''|安条元信||extra=7 December 1534 – 3 October 1589}}, is a daimyō from the Sengoku Period of Mitoyagi. He is the leader of the Anjō clan from 1572 until his death at the battle of Mogami in 1589. He was regarded as one of [[Emperor Shirakawa of Mitoyagi|Honda Shigetada]]'s most reliable and trusted advisors, and his daughter Hatsu-no-kata was the primary wife of Shigetada. <br />
<br />
The Anjō clan under Motonobu was under the Taketoyo clan but were demoted from the ''fudai'' to the ''tozama'' after the maneuvers by the Taketoyo adviser Hachisuka Koroku; in an attempt to take over the small, but strategic town of Mikata from the Anjō. In response, Motonobu cut off all of his ties to the Taketoyo and sided with [[Ogasawara Terumasa]], sending his daughter Hatsu-no-kata to be wed to Terumasa. However, Terumasa refused to be married to her but Honda Shigetada suggested to be married with her as a vassal of the Ogasawara and support the Anjō clan. Motonobu, moved by the act, decided to become a vassal of Shigetada.<br />
<br />
As Shigetada's vassal, Motonobu quickly became known for his mastery of marine and water warfare, securing victories for the Honda clan at the invasions of Musashino and Yagikoshu. He was also instrumental in building several ships that would become the backbone of the first navy of Mitoyagi, the ''Anjō-Murakami Suigun''. However, during the invasion of Yagikoshū, he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Mogami after being trapped by the Uesugi forces in the Sai River. He was swept into the village of Kozuke-Sai after the battle, where he died in 3 October 1589. Honda Shigetada, later the Emperor Shirakawa, would later rename the town of Mogami to Anjō, where it would be later absorbed by Saikawa in 2008 to become Anjō-Saikawa.<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
Motonobu was born in in the province of Miyagi, Okaiken. He was the son of Anjō Motonaga, a vassal of the Taketoyo clan who were the lords of Kyoshu. Motonobu's family lived in a small village on the outskirts of Mikata, surrounded by rice paddies and lush green mountains. Despite being born into a samurai family, Motonobu spent much of his early childhood playing by the river that ran through the village, chasing after fish.<br />
<br />
As he grew older, Motonobu's family moved into a larger home in the town of Mikata, where his father worked as an administrator for the Taketoyo clan. Mikata was a bustling town, home to traders and merchants from all over Okaiken, and Motonobu was fascinated by the sights and sounds of the marketplaces and the busy streets.<br />
<br />
In his early teens, Motonobu began to receive samurai training from his father and other members of the Anjō clan. He learned how to use a sword and bow, as well as other martial arts techniques, and spent long hours practicing in the clan's home. Despite his samurai training, Motonobu never lost his love for the outdoors, and he continued to spend much of his free time exploring the surrounding countryside. He would often hike up into the mountains or paddle his way down the river, always eager to discover new sights and adventures. It was during one of these excursions that he first encountered the neighboring province of Sanno and its powerful daimyō, Ogasawara Terumasa, who would ultimately play a pivotal role in Motonobu's life.<br />

{{main|Battle of Tsuitsui}}<br />
<br />
In Tsuitsui, the Honda clan sought to secure the strategically significant region. Motonobu, trusted for his tactical acumen, led the assault. His well-planned strategy involved coordinated land and naval attacks to dislodge the enemy and control the coastal waters. Motonobu's leadership and advanced ships initially granted the Honda forces an advantage. They dominated the waters, disrupting enemy supply lines. However, the enemy regrouped and launched a fierce counterattack. Motonobu's troops, facing exhaustion, struggled to maintain their position. Recognizing the situation, Motonobu ordered a tactical retreat to save lives and regroup. Although a setback, the retreat ensured the survival of a significant portion of the Honda forces. Despite the defeat, Motonobu's reputation as a skilled tactician and warrior remained unscathed. His subsequent engagements showcased his ongoing contributions to the Honda clan's military strategies. The Battle of Tsuitsui highlighted the importance of naval power and strategic planning.<br />

<br />
After being defeated at the Battle of Tsuitsui on 2 September 1589, Motonobu retreated to Mogami castle on 4 September 1589. There, he had asked Shigetada through messengers to send more troops for the left army by five weeks or risk losing the entire left army. Mogami castle lay in a floodplain and the monsoon season had just begun. Motonobu had mastered water battles from an offensive standpoint but had never in defense. On 19 September 1589, Shigetada replied back through another messenger, writing that his own forces were in trouble from the Uesugi forces and suggested Motonobu to retreat 40 miles to Fukuda castle. However, the messenger was intercepted by the Uesugi forces and was killed. Shigekawa Toshiyuki, a retainer of the Uesugi, would use the intercepted intel and instructions against Motonobu's forces. Motonobu, anticipating his death after never receiving Shigetada's orders, wrote a death poem to Shigetada as a response; saying that it would be the last time they would hear from each other. It read like a suicide note once Shigetada receives it.<br />
<br />
"My name shall cross several seas and reach the realms of the ''Hokuban''", the letter's epilogue read. <br />
<br />
On 30 September 1589, while Motonobu and what was left of the Left army was preparing to cross the Sai River to retreat at Fukuda Castle, the Uesugi forces attacked from three sides. Some of the Left army regiments were able to return to Mogami castle but Motonobu was trapped in the middle of the river with the current steadily increasing from moderate rain in the morning, intensifying by the time of the skirmish. With the rain heavily pouring on the battlefield, Motonobu was unable to proceed with his horse and dismounted. He tried to tread his way back to Mogami castle but was encountered by two Uesugi soldiers who had pursued after him. The two soldiers were able to mortally wound Motonobu in a melee but was unable to kill him as he was swept away by the river's strengthening current when he fell. Motonobu was carried away by the current for five kilometres but miraculously never sank underwater during the ordeal; eventually Motonobu ended up at the shores of Kozuke-Sai, an outlying village that supports Mogami castle. He was later found by villagers, still conscious but was bleeding heavily. <br />
<br />
[[File:Saikawa AI Generated.png|350px|thumb|right|A modern interpretation of the Battle of Saikawa, where Motonobu was killed.]]<br />
<br />
The villagers were able to move and hide Motonobu at one of the storehouses in the village. Motonobu, beginning to lose consciousness, mentioned to the villagers that he had failed his clan and Honda Shigetada. The villagers comforted Motonobu by providing bandages and tea but Motonobu temporarily lost his consciousness due to shock. On 2 of October 1589 he had regained his consciousness and begged for a villager to bring him a dagger so he can commit ''seppuku'' as he had lost his weapons in the river when he was swept away by the current. Much to Motonobu's disappointment, the villager was unable to bring the dagger as he was just a lowly merchant and none of the farmers are willing to give away their tools for a futile act, in addition, none of them have swords to behead him to complete the process of ''seppuku''. The villagers instead comforted Motonobu by serving him more tea, fed him food and were able to stop external bleeding of Motonobu's wounds. However, the villagers realized that Motonobu had lost a considerable amount of blood when he was carried away by the river and was bleeding internally.<br />
<br />
One of the merchants asked Motonobu if he had any requests for Honda Shigetada. Motonobu declined as he already sent him a letter telling him that he was going to die before venturing out of Mogami castle, and went on to say a word of gratitude to the merchant who did not abandon him even though the territory had returned to the Uesugi's control. He requested to have his body buried in the village if he dies as it was the first and last time that ordinary citizens had helped him. He then gave the villager one of his buddha amulets that he had been carrying, before Motonobu lost consciousness a final time. Motonobu died on 3 October 1589 at the age of 54 years old.<br />
<br />
Days later, the village of Kozuke-Sai handed over Motonobu's body and his armour to Honda Shigetada, who was moved to tears knowing that he just lost one of his most important retainers of the clan. As what Motonobu had wished to the villagers, Shigetada promised that he would come to the village one day and bury Motonobu at Enkōji, the only temple of the village. Motonobu's body was cremated at Mikata, and his bones and ashes would be sent to Enkōji after the Uesugi were driven out by Shigetada in the Second Invasion of Yagikoshu. <br />
<br />
The remaining regiments of the Left army, under Sakakibara Yasuhide, retreated back to Kii castle on 6 October 1589, where he was able to sign a non-aggression pact with the Uesugi and allow them to return to Haruguni without harm.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Photo03.png |250px|thumb|right|Anjō Motonobu's ''Shōjō Jinbaori'', on display at the National Museum of History, Okami, Okaiken.]]<br />
<br />
From Western accounts, Anjō Motonobu was said to be a around 189 to 190 centimetres tall and was often depicted to have a large, muscular physical structure that often dwarfs other retainers and lords around him, including Honda Shigetada. He is often referred to as ''ōni-Motonobu'' due to his large physical appearance. Motonobu was often known for his physical strength, being able to lift an entire log by himself during the Battle of Morihama. Motonobu usually had long unkempt hair that was occasionally tied at the back and had grown a beard and a moustache. <br />
<br />
Unusual to other samurai armour during the era, Motonobu's armour doesn't include a ''sode''(shoulder armour) and opts for a ripped ''kote'' (armoured sleeve), which exposes his arms and shoulders in combat. This makes him an intimidating figure in the battlefield as well as allowing Motonobu to have more flexibility to use his arm strength. Shigetada's son [[Honda Shigetomo]] would later adopt Motonobu's example of not including shoulder armour and opting for a ripped ''kote''. Motonobu does not wear a ''kabuto'' (helmet) due to his long hair. Instead, he wears a head protection in a form of a ''hachigane'' (forehead protector) with sharp spikes. This often confused his adversaries as they thought of Motonobu as a regular Anjō foot soldier. <br />
<br />
In order to be identified as a retainer and vassal of the Honda clan, Motonobu wears a dark red ''shōjō jinbaori'' (vest). The materials used for the ''jinbaori'' came from Peilan and Kwangju. After being mortally wounded at the Battle of Mogami, Motonobu's ''shōjō jinbaori'' was found ripped due to the strength of the current that washed him off to Kozuke-Sai. The ripped ''jinbaori'' is currently on display at the National Museum of History in Okami.<br />

<div>The Battle of Tsuitsui was a significant military engagement in Tsuitsui, [[Okaiken|Mitoyagi]], which took place in the 1589. The battle is renowned for its fierce clashes and the involvement of the famous samurai [[Anjō Motonobu]]. This decisive conflict marked a turning point in the power dynamics of the region and left a lasting impact on the strategies and tactics employed in subsequent battles.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
At the time of the Battle of Tsuitsui, Anjō Motonobu had established himself as a prominent figure within the Honda clan, serving as a loyal vassal to Honda Shigetada. Motonobu had gained recognition for his exceptional skills in marine and water warfare, playing a crucial role in securing victories for the Honda clan during the invasions of Musashino and Yagikoshu. Moreover, his expertise in shipbuilding contributed to the development of the formidable Anjō-Murakami Suigun, the first navy of Mitoyagi.<br />
<br />
Tsuitsui, located strategically along the coastal areas, had long been a point of contention among various factions seeking to expand their influence. It was a vital location, offering access to vital trade routes and resources. The escalating tensions between the Honda clan and their rivals set the stage for a climactic showdown.<br />
<br />
== Prelude ==<br />
As the Honda clan sought to consolidate their power and expand their territories, they found themselves facing formidable adversaries, including the forces led by Takigawa Kazumasu. The rivalry between the two factions had intensified, with each seeking dominance over the region.<br />
<br />
Anjō Motonobu, known for his strategic prowess and martial skills, became a key asset for the Honda clan. His reputation as a master of naval warfare made him an invaluable asset in planning and executing military campaigns. Motonobu's involvement in the previous successful invasions had solidified his status as a respected samurai and a trusted advisor to Honda Shigetada.<br />
<br />
Recognizing the strategic importance of Tsuitsui, the Honda clan decided to launch an offensive to secure the region and gain a significant advantage over their rivals. Anjō Motonobu, with his deep knowledge of naval tactics, was entrusted with leading the assault.<br />
<br />
== The Battle ==<br />
The Battle of Tsuitsui commenced with the Honda forces, led by Anjō Motonobu, launching a coordinated attack on the enemy positions. Motonobu's strategic genius came to the forefront as he meticulously planned and executed a multi-pronged assault strategy, capitalizing on his expertise in marine warfare.<br />
<br />
Employing a combination of land and naval forces, Motonobu orchestrated a series of swift and devastating maneuvers to dislodge the enemy from their fortified positions. The Honda fleet, equipped with the technologically advanced ships crafted under Motonobu's supervision, dominated the coastal waters, restricting the enemy's movement and effectively cutting off their supply lines.<br />
<br />
The battle raged on for days, with both sides fiercely contesting every inch of the battleground. Anjō Motonobu, leading from the front, showcased exceptional valor and tactical brilliance, inspiring his troops to fight with unwavering determination.<br />
<br />
However, despite their initial successes, the Honda forces faced unexpected challenges. The enemy, under the command of the Uesugi clan, mounted a stubborn resistance, exploiting the difficult terrain and launching counterattacks with great tenacity. The battle devolved into a grueling and protracted conflict, testing the mettle of both sides.<br />
<br />
== Anjō Motonobu's Defeat ==<br />
As the battle wore on, the tides of fortune began to turn against Anjō Motonobu and the Honda forces. The enemy, having regrouped and reinforced their positions, launched a fierce and coordinated assault on Motonobu's weakened flank. The sudden onslaught caught the Honda troops off guard, disrupting their formations and causing a momentary lapse in their defenses.<br />
<br />
Despite his valiant efforts to rally his men and turn the tide, Anjō Motonobu found himself overwhelmed by the relentless enemy onslaught. The Honda forces, now grappling with exhaustion and dwindling resources, struggled to maintain their foothold.<br />
<br />
In a pivotal moment of the battle, Motonobu, realizing the gravity of the situation, made a strategic decision to order a tactical retreat. Understanding the importance of preserving his forces and regrouping for future engagements, he chose to prioritize their survival over a futile stand that could potentially lead to their annihilation.<br />
<br />
Motonobu's retreat, although a tactical maneuver, marked a significant blow to the morale of the Honda troops. The defeat at Tsuitsui served as a humbling reminder of the challenges faced in the pursuit of dominance and territorial expansion.<br />
<br />
== Aftermath ==<br />
The Battle of Tsuitsui had far-reaching implications for both the Honda clan and their adversaries. While Anjō Motonobu and his forces were defeated, their strategic withdrawal ensured the survival of a significant portion of their troops and maintained the possibility of future engagements. The Army of Anjō Motonobu was later destroyed in the Battle of Saikawa, with Motonobu himself being killed in that battle. <br />
<br />
The Honda clan, under the leadership of Honda Shigetada, regrouped after their setback at Tsuitsui. The battle served as a valuable learning experience, prompting a reevaluation of their military strategies and a reassessment of their resources and capabilities.<br />
<br />
The Battle of Tsuitsui, though inconclusive in terms of a clear victor, highlighted the intricate dynamics of power struggles and the complexities of warfare during that period. It stands as a testament to the valor, resilience, and strategic acumen displayed by samurai such as Anjō Motonobu, whose contributions shaped the course of history in Mitoyagi.<br />
<br />
== Legacy ==<br />
The Battle of Tsuitsui left an indelible mark on the collective memory of Mitoyagi. It served as a crucial turning point, altering the power dynamics in the region and forcing the various factions to reassess their strategies and alliances.<br />
<br />

<br />
The battle also highlighted the importance of naval power and the role it played in shaping the outcomes of major engagements. The technological advancements in shipbuilding and the utilization of water-based strategies pioneered by Motonobu became foundational elements in the future development of naval warfare in Mitoyagi.<br />
<br />

{{nihongo|'''Anjō Motonobu '''|安条元信||extra=7 December 1534 – 3 October 1589}}, is a daimyō from the Sengoku Period of Mitoyagi. He is the leader of the Anjō clan from 1572 until his death at the battle of Mogami in 1589. He was regarded as one of [[Emperor Shirakawa of Mitoyagi|Honda Shigetada]]'s most reliable and trusted advisors, and his daughter Hatsu-no-kata was the primary wife of Shigetada. <br />
<br />
The Anjō clan under Motonobu was under the Taketoyo clan but were demoted from the ''fudai'' to the ''tozama'' after the maneuvers by the Taketoyo adviser Hachisuka Koroku; in an attempt to take over the small, but strategic town of Mikata from the Anjō. In response, Motonobu cut off all of his ties to the Taketoyo and sided with [[Ogasawara Terumasa]], sending his daughter Hatsu-no-kata to be wed to Terumasa. However, Terumasa refused to be married to her but Honda Shigetada suggested to be married with her as a vassal of the Ogasawara and support the Anjō clan. Motonobu, moved by the act, decided to become a vassal of Shigetada.<br />
<br />
As Shigetada's vassal, Motonobu quickly became known for his mastery of marine and water warfare, securing victories for the Honda clan at the invasions of Musashino and Yagikoshu. He was also instrumental in building several ships that would become the backbone of the first navy of Mitoyagi, the ''Anjō-Murakami Suigun''. However, during the invasion of Yagikoshū, he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Mogami after being trapped by the Uesugi forces in the Sai River. He was swept into the village of Kozuke-Sai after the battle, where he died in 3 October 1589. Honda Shigetada, later the Emperor Shirakawa, would later rename the town of Mogami to Anjō, where it would be later absorbed by Saikawa in 2008 to become Anjō-Saikawa.<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
Motonobu was born in in the province of Miyagi, Okaiken. He was the son of Anjō Motonaga, a vassal of the Taketoyo clan who were the lords of Kyoshu. Motonobu's family lived in a small village on the outskirts of Mikata, surrounded by rice paddies and lush green mountains. Despite being born into a samurai family, Motonobu spent much of his early childhood playing by the river that ran through the village, chasing after fish.<br />
<br />
As he grew older, Motonobu's family moved into a larger home in the town of Mikata, where his father worked as an administrator for the Taketoyo clan. Mikata was a bustling town, home to traders and merchants from all over Okaiken, and Motonobu was fascinated by the sights and sounds of the marketplaces and the busy streets.<br />
<br />
In his early teens, Motonobu began to receive samurai training from his father and other members of the Anjō clan. He learned how to use a sword and bow, as well as other martial arts techniques, and spent long hours practicing in the clan's home. Despite his samurai training, Motonobu never lost his love for the outdoors, and he continued to spend much of his free time exploring the surrounding countryside. He would often hike up into the mountains or paddle his way down the river, always eager to discover new sights and adventures. It was during one of these excursions that he first encountered the neighboring province of Sanno and its powerful daimyō, Ogasawara Terumasa, who would ultimately play a pivotal role in Motonobu's life.<br />

<br />
After being defeated at the Battle of Tsuitsui on 2 September 1589, Motonobu retreated to Mogami castle on 4 September 1589. There, he had asked Shigetada through messengers to send more troops for the left army by five weeks or risk losing the entire left army. Mogami castle lay in a floodplain and the monsoon season had just begun. Motonobu had mastered water battles from an offensive standpoint but had never in defense. On 19 September 1589, Shigetada replied back through another messenger, writing that his own forces were in trouble from the Uesugi forces and suggested Motonobu to retreat 40 miles to Fukuda castle. However, the messenger was intercepted by the Uesugi forces and was killed. Shigekawa Toshiyuki, a retainer of the Uesugi, would use the intercepted intel and instructions against Motonobu's forces. Motonobu, anticipating his death after never receiving Shigetada's orders, wrote a death poem to Shigetada as a response; saying that it would be the last time they would hear from each other. It read like a suicide note once Shigetada receives it.<br />
<br />
"My name shall cross several seas and reach the realms of the ''Hokuban''", the letter's epilogue read. <br />
<br />
On 30 September 1589, while Motonobu and what was left of the Left army was preparing to cross the Sai River to retreat at Fukuda Castle, the Uesugi forces attacked from three sides. Some of the Left army regiments were able to return to Mogami castle but Motonobu was trapped in the middle of the river with the current steadily increasing from moderate rain in the morning, intensifying by the time of the skirmish. With the rain heavily pouring on the battlefield, Motonobu was unable to proceed with his horse and dismounted. He tried to tread his way back to Mogami castle but was encountered by two Uesugi soldiers who had pursued after him. The two soldiers were able to mortally wound Motonobu in a melee but was unable to kill him as he was swept away by the river's strengthening current when he fell. Motonobu was carried away by the current for five kilometres but miraculously never sank underwater during the ordeal; eventually Motonobu ended up at the shores of Kozuke-Sai, an outlying village that supports Mogami castle. He was later found by villagers, still conscious but was bleeding heavily. <br />
<br />
[[File:Saikawa AI Generated.png|350px|thumb|right|A modern interpretation of the Battle of Saikawa, where Motonobu was killed.]]<br />
<br />
The villagers were able to move and hide Motonobu at one of the storehouses in the village. Motonobu, beginning to lose consciousness, mentioned to the villagers that he had failed his clan and Honda Shigetada. The villagers comforted Motonobu by providing bandages and tea but Motonobu temporarily lost his consciousness due to shock. On 2 of October 1589 he had regained his consciousness and begged for a villager to bring him a dagger so he can commit ''seppuku'' as he had lost his weapons in the river when he was swept away by the current. Much to Motonobu's disappointment, the villager was unable to bring the dagger as he was just a lowly merchant and none of the farmers are willing to give away their tools for a futile act, in addition, none of them have swords to behead him to complete the process of ''seppuku''. The villagers instead comforted Motonobu by serving him more tea, fed him food and were able to stop external bleeding of Motonobu's wounds. However, the villagers realized that Motonobu had lost a considerable amount of blood when he was carried away by the river and was bleeding internally.<br />
<br />
One of the merchants asked Motonobu if he had any requests for Honda Shigetada. Motonobu declined as he already sent him a letter telling him that he was going to die before venturing out of Mogami castle, and went on to say a word of gratitude to the merchant who did not abandon him even though the territory had returned to the Uesugi's control. He requested to have his body buried in the village if he dies as it was the first and last time that ordinary citizens had helped him. He then gave the villager one of his buddha amulets that he had been carrying, before Motonobu lost consciousness a final time. Motonobu died on 3 October 1589 at the age of 54 years old.<br />
<br />
Days later, the village of Kozuke-Sai handed over Motonobu's body and his armour to Honda Shigetada, who was moved to tears knowing that he just lost one of his most important retainers of the clan. As what Motonobu had wished to the villagers, Shigetada promised that he would come to the village one day and bury Motonobu at Enkōji, the only temple of the village. Motonobu's body was cremated at Mikata, and his bones and ashes would be sent to Enkōji after the Uesugi were driven out by Shigetada in the Second Invasion of Yagikoshu. <br />
<br />
The remaining regiments of the Left army, under Sakakibara Yasuhide, retreated back to Kii castle on 6 October 1589, where he was able to sign a non-aggression pact with the Uesugi and allow them to return to Haruguni without harm.<br />

<br />
From Western accounts, Anjō Motonobu was said to be a around 189 to 190 centimetres tall and was often depicted to have a large, muscular physical structure that often dwarfs other retainers and lords around him, including Honda Shigetada. He is often referred to as ''ōni-Motonobu'' due to his large physical appearance. Motonobu was often known for his physical strength, being able to lift an entire log by himself during the Battle of Morihama. Motonobu usually had long unkempt hair that was occasionally tied at the back and had grown a beard and a moustache. <br />
<br />
Unusual to other samurai armour during the era, Motonobu's armour doesn't include a ''sode''(shoulder armour) and opts for a ripped ''kote'' (armoured sleeve), which exposes his arms and shoulders in combat. This makes him an intimidating figure in the battlefield as well as allowing Motonobu to have more flexibility to use his arm strength. Shigetada's son [[Honda Shigetomo]] would later adopt Motonobu's example of not including shoulder armour and opting for a ripped ''kote''. Motonobu does not wear a ''kabuto'' (helmet) due to his long hair. Instead, he wears a head protection in a form of a ''hachigane'' (forehead protector) with sharp spikes. This often confused his adversaries as they thought of Motonobu as a regular Anjō foot soldier. <br />
<br />
In order to be identified as a retainer and vassal of the Honda clan, Motonobu wears a dark red ''shōjō jinbaori'' (vest). The materials used for the ''jinbaori'' came from Peilan and Kwangju. After being mortally wounded at the Battle of Mogami, Motonobu's ''shōjō jinbaori'' was found ripped due to the strength of the current that washed him off to Kozuke-Sai. The ripped ''jinbaori'' is currently on display at the National Museum of History in Okami.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Anjō Motonobu '''|安条元信||extra=7 December 1534 – 3 October 1589}}, is a daimyō from the Sengoku Period of Mitoyagi. He is the leader of the Anjō clan from 1572 until his death at the battle of Mogami in 1589. He was regarded as one of [[Emperor Shirakawa of Mitoyagi|Honda Shigetada]]'s most reliable and trusted advisors, and his daughter Hatsu-no-kata was the primary wife of Shigetada. <br />
<br />
The Anjō clan under Motonobu was under the Taketoyo clan but were demoted from the ''fudai'' to the ''tozama'' after the maneuvers by the Taketoyo adviser Hachisuka Koroku; in an attempt to take over the small, but strategic town of Mikata from the Anjō. In response, Motonobu cut off all of his ties to the Taketoyo and sided with [[Ogasawara Terumasa]], sending his daughter Hatsu-no-kata to be wed to Terumasa. However, Terumasa refused to be married to her but Honda Shigetada suggested to be married with her as a vassal of the Ogasawara and support the Anjō clan. Motonobu, moved by the act, decided to become a vassal of Shigetada.<br />
<br />
As Shigetada's vassal, Motonobu quickly became known for his mastery of marine and water warfare, securing victories for the Honda clan at the invasions of Musashino and Yagikoshu. He was also instrumental in building several ships that would become the backbone of the first navy of Mitoyagi, the ''Anjō-Murakami Suigun''. However, during the invasion of Yagikoshū, he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Mogami after being trapped by the Uesugi forces in the Sai River. He was swept into the village of Kozuke-Sai after the battle, where he died in 3 October 1589. Honda Shigetada, later the Emperor Shirakawa, would later rename the town of Mogami to Anjō, where it would be later absorbed by Saikawa in 2008 to become Anjō-Saikawa.<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
Motonobu was born in in the province of Miyagi, Okaiken. He was the son of Anjō Motonaga, a vassal of the Taketoyo clan who were the lords of Kyoshu. Motonobu's family lived in a small village on the outskirts of Mikata, surrounded by rice paddies and lush green mountains. Despite being born into a samurai family, Motonobu spent much of his early childhood playing by the river that ran through the village, chasing after fish.<br />
<br />
As he grew older, Motonobu's family moved into a larger home in the town of Mikata, where his father worked as an administrator for the Taketoyo clan. Mikata was a bustling town, home to traders and merchants from all over Okaiken, and Motonobu was fascinated by the sights and sounds of the marketplaces and the busy streets.<br />
<br />
In his early teens, Motonobu began to receive samurai training from his father and other members of the Anjō clan. He learned how to use a sword and bow, as well as other martial arts techniques, and spent long hours practicing in the clan's home. Despite his samurai training, Motonobu never lost his love for the outdoors, and he continued to spend much of his free time exploring the surrounding countryside. He would often hike up into the mountains or paddle his way down the river, always eager to discover new sights and adventures. It was during one of these excursions that he first encountered the neighboring province of Sanno and its powerful daimyō, Ogasawara Terumasa, who would ultimately play a pivotal role in Motonobu's life.<br />

{{main|Battle of Saikawa}}<br />
<br />
After being defeated at the Battle of Tsuitsui on 2 September 1589, Motonobu retreated to Mogami castle on 4 September 1589. There, he had asked Shigetada through messengers to send more troops for the left army by five weeks or risk losing the entire left army. Mogami castle lay in a floodplain and the monsoon season had just begun. Motonobu had mastered water battles from an offensive standpoint but had never in defense. On 19 September 1589, Shigetada replied back through another messenger, writing that his own forces were in trouble from the Uesugi forces and suggested Motonobu to retreat 40 miles to Fukuda castle. However, the messenger was intercepted by the Uesugi forces and was killed. Shigekawa Toshiyuki, a retainer of the Uesugi, would use the intercepted intel and instructions against Motonobu's forces. Motonobu, anticipating his death after never receiving Shigetada's orders, wrote a death poem to Shigetada as a response; saying that it would be the last time they would hear from each other. It read like a suicide note once Shigetada receives it.<br />
<br />
"My name shall cross several seas and reach the realms of the ''Hokuban''", the letter's epilogue read. <br />
<br />
On 30 September 1589, while Motonobu and what was left of the Left army was preparing to cross the Sai River to retreat at Fukuda Castle, the Uesugi forces attacked from three sides. Some of the Left army regiments were able to return to Mogami castle but Motonobu was trapped in the middle of the river with the current steadily increasing from moderate rain in the morning, intensifying by the time of the skirmish. With the rain heavily pouring on the battlefield, Motonobu was unable to proceed with his horse and dismounted. He tried to tread his way back to Mogami castle but was encountered by two Uesugi soldiers who had pursued after him. The two soldiers were able to mortally wound Motonobu in a melee but was unable to kill him as he was swept away by the river's strengthening current when he fell. Motonobu was carried away by the current for five kilometres but miraculously never sank underwater during the ordeal; eventually Motonobu ended up at the shores of Kozuke-Sai, an outlying village that supports Mogami castle. He was later found by villagers, still conscious but was bleeding heavily. <br />
<br />
[[File:Saikawa AI Generated.png|350px|thumb|right|A modern interpretation of the Battle of Saikawa, where Motonobu was killed.]]<br />
<br />
The villagers were able to move and hide Motonobu at one of the storehouses in the village. Motonobu, beginning to lose consciousness, mentioned to the villagers that he had failed his clan and Honda Shigetada. The villagers comforted Motonobu by providing bandages and tea but Motonobu temporarily lost his consciousness due to shock. On 2 of October 1589 he had regained his consciousness and begged for a villager to bring him a dagger so he can commit ''seppuku'' as he had lost his weapons in the river when he was swept away by the current.

<br />
{{nihongo|'''Emperor Shirakawa of Mitoyagi'''|白河天皇|Shirakawa Tennō|extra=November 26 1556 – June 6, 1625}}, also known as {{nihongo|'''Honda Heihachirō Shigetada'''|本多平八郎重忠}}, {{nihongo|'''Fumihito'''|史仁}}, and his Buddhist name {{nihongo|'''Seiganji Denzen Chushochō Yoshinobu Daikoji'''|史西岸寺殿前中書長誉良信大居士}} was the 105th Emperor of [[Okaiken|Mitoyagi]], according to the traditional order of succession. He was also the first [[Imperial bakufu]] [[shogun|shōgun]] from 1601 to 1610 and he was only person in the line to hold both the position of the emperor and shogun at the same time. <br />
<br />
Known as '''Fumihito''' at birth, he was abducted from the Okami Palace on March 5, 1576 by members of the Ogasawara clan in an attempt to take control of the Imperial Court as well as to persuade the Imperial Family to install [[Ogasawara Terumune]] as the shogun. The abduction is now known as the [[Yuzawa Incident]]. The Imperial Family agreed to let the Ogasawara clan take the young prince but was later abandoned by the clan at a temple in Mino. When he came of age, the Honda clan would train him as an officer within the clan and assumed the name of '''Ogasawara Taisei'''. When [[Ogasawara Terumasa]] succeeded Terumune as the daimyō of the Ogasawara clan, Shigetada became his vassal. <br />
<br />
He would later return to serve the Honda clan, after the Ogasawara clan offered him as a candidate to the Honda clan as the successor to the childless Shigetatsu to solidify their diplomatic partnership. Shigetada was one of the Four Honda Heavenly Pillars along with Ii Naomasa, Sakakibara Yasumasa and [[Anjō Motonobu]]. It was widely acknowledged that he was a reputed samurai and a loyal retainer of Ogasawara Terumasa. Shigetada is often referred to as "The Warrior who surpassed Death itself" because he never once suffered a significant wound, despite being the veteran of over 40 battles by the end of his life, and because he was never defeated by another samurai during his military service. He eventually became the successor of the Honda clan after being adopted by Shigetatsu who was not able to produce an heir before his death. After the death of Ogasawara Terumasa, Shigetada continued his conquest of Mitoyagi, first trying to avenge the assassination of his lord Terumasa by Takigawa Kazumasu, then by avenging the death of Anjō Motonobu by usurping the island of Yagikoshu and eventually subjugating the lands that were under the Takigawa after Kazumasu's assassination in 1598. <br />
<br />
In 1601, he was expected to be declared shōgun by the Imperial Family in Okami but was instead declared as the Crown Prince in addition to the shōgun title by the Emperor Komei and was forced to relinquish most of his power to his second son, [[Honda Shigetomo]] when the Emperor Komei died in 1610. His eldest son, Honda Shigemasa, was declared as the Prince Takahito and became his Imperial successor. <br />
<br />
As the emperor, Shirakawa oversaw the consolidation of power within the Empire and established the Honda clan as the legitimate ruler of the country. He then split his family into two distinct branches with Honda Shigetomo getting full control over the land distribution and the military while the Imperial family was further reduced into a ceremonial role. He also presided over the implementation of religious freedom with the exception of Christianity that he vehemently repressed. He also help write the [[Tale of Shikibu]], a popular novel involving the Sengoku Period as well as the rise of the Honda Shogunate. <br />
<br />
He was assassinated in 1625 during the Kinzō Incident for [[Honda Shigetomo]]'s involvement in reforming the Sanese Han System, which angered many of the former shōen estates. [[Ii Naotaka]], who was the perpetrator of the attacks, was defeated and killed by the forces of the Shogunate at the Battle of Ichijoudani.<br />
<br />
==Early life and abduction==<br />
{{Main|Yuzawa Incident}}<br />
<br />
The emperor was born on February 25, 1556 at imperial palace through then Crown Prince Yoshihito (Emperor Komei) and the empress Sento-in. The prince was named Fumihito, in hopes that the future prince will serve all the people of Mitoyagi. The imperial family had long been removed from the political landscape, only serving as the signatory of many ''shōen'' estates that had led to the [[Sengoku period]] of Okaiken.<br />
<br />
In October 12, 1558, while the Imperial Family was staying on the summer palace of Mikasawa, in the territory of the Ogasawara clan of Mino, [[Yuzawa Incident|assailants breached the walls]] of the poorly guarded palace and succeeded in kidnapping the young prince. Prince Mutsuhito, the uncle of the prince, was inadvertently assassinated during the kidnapping; The Crown Prince Yoshihito was uninjured but laments the kidnapping of his son and the death of Mutsuhito. Fumihito was taken to the residence of the Ogasawara clan in an attempt to extort the Imperial Family for more control of territory in Mino and also attempt to rule Mitoyagi through increasing their ranks. The emperor first refused the demands of the Ogasawara clan, but later backtracked after Ogasawara Terunobu threatened to kill the young prince regardless of his imperial status. <br />
<br />
In the process, members of the Ogasawara clan received the northern quarter of the island of Haruguni and a considerable sum of 300,000 ''koku'' for the main Ogasawara clan retainers. This accounted to 1.5 million ''koku'' overall. The imperial court also appointed Terunobu a ''Bugyō'' of the imperial courts, giving him considerable power and authority of the Mitoyagi islands. However, the Ogasawara clan never exchanged Fumihito; instead, the clan claimed that he had died of disease during his journey back to the capital. The crown prince later asked the warring clans to take over the capital in order to free the imperial government from the influence of the Ogasawara. <br />
<br />
Fumihito was placed in the Shōhei Temple under the guidance of Zen no Kishō and was trained to become a page. He became known as "Ichimatsu" during his stay at Shōhei Temple. The Ogasawara clan would later abandon the hostaged prince at the temple due to the increasing intensity of hostilities in Mitoyagi and began their brutal unification process of the rest of the Sanese Islands in order to stop the emperor's demands to the other warring clans to take the capital from the Ogasawara clan. <br />
<br />
Zen no Kishō would convert Ichimatsu into Jodō-shu, or Pure Land Buddhism, in order to influence the imperial court through religion to recognize and allow the practice of Jodō-shu and Jodō-shinshu in Okaiken, which was illegal at the time. In 1561, Ogasawara Terumune was killed battling the Takehara clan in the Battle of Adachi, and was succeeded by Ogasawara Terumasa. Terumasa was known as the "Fool of Mino" and was not interested in the affairs of his father against the Imperial Family, so he burned any records of any interaction of the Ogasawara and the Imperial Family including records about the young prince.<br />
<br />
==Forgotten and adopted==<br />
When he came of age on February 25, 1573 Ichimatsu, serving as a page at Shohei-ji, became the temple's housekeeper. He became in charge of the festivities during the Kanto festival and adopted practices that are still being done at the temple today. He was a devout ''Jodō-shu'', in contrast to the Imperial Family's animistic beliefs. <br />
<br />
In March of 1573, Ichimatsu killed two bandits that were targeting him and [[Shimotsuma Rairen]], then Shohei-ji's temple guard. Proving his rudimentary skills with the ''yari'', he was sent to serve Ogasawara Terumasa's brother, Ogasawara Teruhide, and defend the town of Suemori from the invasion of the Taketoyo clan. <br />
<br />
On July 22, 1573 Ichimatsu was officially adopted by Honda Shigetatsu after seeing his abilities at administering the temple. Back then, Shigetatsu was a vassal under the Ogasawara. In 1574, the Ogasawara clan launched an unprecedented assault of Kuge, a neighbouring province of Mino. Shigetatsu, which happened to be childless, decided that Ichimatsu be the next leader of the clan by adopting him directly to his tutelage. Ichimatsu was quickly trained in the military arts and was given his swords and his own ''yari''. While he was reluctant to do so at first, he slowly learned combat skills. Ichimatsu remained a devout ''Jodō-shu'' member against the wishes of his adopted father, who was of the ''Nichiren'' sect. He would later encourage his adopted father to adopt ''Jodō-shu''. Ichimatsu was known to be clumsy during weaponry practice and would always scorned by Shigetatsu. Ichimatsu was a clear speaker with a strong presence about him, and was known to run around with other youths from the area, without any regard to his own rank in society. Some of them would later play a large role in the Imperial Bakufu, such as Kuroda Fukumaru and Hori Soemon. With the introduction of firearms into Mitoyagi he became known for his fondness for ''tanegashima'' guns and his spear.<br />
<br />
In his second coming-of-age ceremony on 12 August 1574, this time as a ''bushi'', Ichimatsu adopted the name of Honda-no-Shigetada, adopting the "Shige" character from his adoptive father and "Tada" from another one of the retainers of the Ogasawara clan, Takigawa Tadakage. By this time, the Ogasawara could no longer identify if he was the prince Fumihito and perceived that he was the biological son of Honda Shigetatsu. He received his the ceremonial sword of the Honda clan and was sent to assist Ogasawara Terumasa as the representative successor to Honda Shigetatsu. He was Terumasa's sandal-bearer until Ogasawara Terumasa was ambushed at the Battle of Iwawada, where he would valiantly defend his lord from an onslaught of attackers from the Yuki clan. He and Terumasa were able to safely retreat to the Ogasawara family compound in Nagaya. Terumasa would later bestow the name ''Taisei'' to Shigetada and allowed him to adopt the Ogasawara family name for his service to Terumasa.<br />
<br />
==Sengoku samurai==<br />
{{Campaigns of Honda Shigetada| embed=yes}}<br />
<br />
Shigetada participated in his second battle in February 1575 at the Battle of Sakaide. Terumasa subsequently gave him retainer status along with Takigawa Kazumasu, Takigawa Tadakage's son. He received a stipend of 2,000 ''koku'' from Terumasa in Mino as a reward for his promotion to retainer status. However, in April of 1575, A succession crisis loomed over the Ogasawara clan. Ogasawara Teruhide, the younger brother of Terumasa, staged a revolt against him. Terumasa, collecting about a thousand men, suppressed the hostile members of his family and their allies. Ogasawara Teruhide was defeated by Terumasa at the Battle of Awa, but escaped to Suemori castle, where Terumasa had assigned Shigetada and Takigawa Kazumasu to lay siege upon. The siege was successful and Teruhide was forced to commit ''seppuku''. Terumasa rewarded Shigetada a long spear called the ''tonbōgiri'' and an additional 10,000 ''koku'' to him. <br />
<br />
In July of 1576, Terumasa sent Shigetada to protect Suzuki Yasutomo in the Siege of Okawanishi. Yasutomo had defected to Terumasa's side from Taketoyo Sadahiro, a daimyo from Musashino Province, one of the most powerful men in Haruguni. <br />
<br />
By 1578, Terumasa had captured and obliterated the fortress of Iwakura, eliminated all opposition within the Ogasawara clan, and established his uncontested rule in Mino Province. Shigetada was given a stipend of another 10,000 ''koku'' (with a total of 22,000 ''koku'') and ownership of the damaged Suemori castle, which with the help of the ''hatamoto'' of the Honda clan, was rebuilt into the current Nagashino Castle in 1581. <br />
<br />
In July of 1579, Shigetada met his first and primary wife Hatsune-no-kata in the town of Mikata in the neighbouring province of Kōchi while laying siege to the castle town of Nakaoka. She was the daughter of the Lord of Mikata Castle, [[Anjō Motonobu]], who had earlier defected to the Ogasawara from the Taketoyo due to Sadahiro's poor treatment of his clan. To bid for his survival of the clan, Hatsune-no-kata was going to be sent to Terumasa in order for him to be taken as his wife but would decline the offer. Shigetada, for reasons unknown to this day, instead offered to be her husband. Later, the Anjō would become primary vassals of the Honda clan and would take various high level government positions in the ''bakufu''. In 4 October 1580, their first child, Nabenosuke (later the Prince Takahito, then the Emperor Daigo), was born. <br />
<br />
In 23 June 1581, Shigetada received the news that the head of the Honda clan and his adoptive father Honda Shigetatsu was ill and wanted Shigetada to take his place as the leader of the Honda clan. Terumasa approved of the move on 8 August 1581, and Shigetada changed his name back to Honda and adopted the name ''Heihachirō'', a name that was passed down to the first-born son or the presumed successor for many generations. In 18 November 1581 Shigetatsu would later succumb to his illness, and Shigetada became the head of the Honda clan. Ogasawara Terumasa allowed Shigetada to move the Honda clan from Nagaya to Suemori with a degree of independence not seen with the other Ogasawara retainers.<br />
<br />
In 1582, his second son, [[Honda Shigetomo|Naiki]], was born from his primary wife; it was followed by the birth of his third son, [[Honda Shigetoki|Naimon]] from a concubine three months later. In 14 July 1582, he participated in the Battle of Uomura, where he famously defeated Yamanaka Shikanosuke in a duel. Shikanosuke would later join the Ogasawara as a retainer for Takigawa Kazumasu. After the Battle of Uomura, Shigetada would later venture and attack territories in Kaga, where he was able to defeat the small Hachisuka clan at the Seige of Wakamatsu.<br />
<br />
==Leader of Honda clan==<br />
<br />
As the leader of Suemori (Nagashino) castle, Shigetada was tasked by Terumasa to take advantage of the weakening Taketoyo clan and take over Musashino province. In April of 1584 he lay siege to the Taketoyo clan's castle at Temmokuzan and was successful. Taketoyo Sadayori, the adopted son of Taketoyo Sadahiro, committed ''seppuku''. When the once powerful Taketoyo clan was defeated, Ogasawara Terumasa gained greatly in prestige, and many samurai and warlords pledged fealty to him. Subsequent victories by Takigawa Kazumasu in Kuge and Shibata Gonroku in Kōchi consolidated Terumasa's control over the northern half of the Island of Haruguni. <br />
<br />
In 14 December 1585, Honda clan forces headed by Anjō Motonobu attacked the Yamagata clan in the battle of Yunami but was defeated by Yamagata Masakage and was forced to retreat to Nagashino. In February of 1586, another attack was launched by the Uesugi from the island of Yagikoshu in retaliation to the destruction of the Taketoyo clan in Musashino, of which they were allied with. Already defeated in Yunami and significantly weakened by disease and a rare typhoon in January of 1585, the Honda clan lost the majority of its control of Musashino and the Uesugi was on the verge of invading Mino through the breakthrough. <br />
<br />
===Failures, then successes in Musashino===<br />
<br />
Terumasa would recall Shigetada from Nagashino after his failure and was asked to commit ''seppuku'' in Nagaya castle but was later encouraged by the rest of his vassals not to commit as Shigetada was facing two powerful clans at the same time without being helped by the rest of the Ogasawara allies; if Shigetada was to commit ''seppuku'', the Ogasawara would become vulnerable in Mino from the attacks by the Uesugi. Terumasa agreed to send Shigetada back into Nagashino to continue the defense of Musashino from the Yamagata and the Uesugi. Takigawa Kazumasu would provide assistance and both were able to wrest Musashino from the Yamagata by November of 1586. The Honda clan also won a decisive battle in the Battle of Yokosuka on 13 November 1586 where Shigetada and less than 500 troops were able to suppress the Uesugi's 7,000-strong army from taking over the strategic Yokosuka castle. The Uesugi would later retreat to Yagikoshu on 18 January 1587. Takigawa Kazumasu and Honda Shigetada would later restart its invasion of the Yamagata clan at the battle of Morihama where Yamagata Masakage was captured and was thought to be ordered executed. Instead, Takigawa Kazumasu would forgive him and encouraged him to join his forces in order to keep his territory in Iwami but with a reduction from 120,000 ''koku'' to 32,000 ''koku''. Honda Shigetada was given about 20,000 ''koku'' for helping Takigawa Kazumasu.<br />
<br />
Ogasawara Terumasa would send Takigawa Kazumasu and Maeda Toshiie to the imperial court in 14 June 1587 to install Terumasa as the ''daijō-danjo''. The imperial court agreed to have both Kazumasu and Toshiie meet the emperor. To their surprise, the Emperor Komei looked similar to Honda Shigetada and had asked if he was Honda Shigetada himself. The emperor declined that he was Honda Shigetada, but mentioned about the abduction of his first born and had thought that he had been killed on the way back to the capital. The emperor believed that the now crown prince is still alive and if he was proven wrong, then the succession would continue on but become endangered with the Princess Tomoko, who was childless and would have to adopt a prince from the military families of Okaiken. Kazumasu mentioned that the Ogasawara abandoned Shigetada on a temple and it was Honda Shigetatsu that ultimately adopted him to the Honda clan. In spite of the revelations, the emperor agreed to install Terumasa as the ''daijō-danjo'' but would mention to Kazumasu and Toshiie that if Terumasa and the Ogasawara were to endanger the imperial court and Honda Shigetada again, both Kazumasu and Toshiie are granted powers to overrule Terumasa and kill him without punishment. This would later influence the betrayal of Takigawa Kazumasu against Ogaswara Terumasa in 1592.<br />
<br />
===First invasion of Yagikoshu, 1587-1590===<br />
[[File:本多重忠小牧.jpg |350px|thumb|left|A woodblock print of Honda Shigetada after his defeat in the Battle of Makino.]]<br />
In Nagaya, Ogasawara Terumasa would task Honda Shigetada with the invasion of Yagikoshu on 19 October 1587. Shigetada would land on a village about 17 kilometres northeast of Toyozawa and establish the castle town of Sakai. Shigetada suppressed the counterattack by Yano Nobumori in the battle of Otsuka in 26-27 of November 1587 and later destroy the Yano clan in the invasion of the Kinai Peninsula on 14 February 1588. The Uesugi, who is based on Toyozawa, attacked the Southern Kinai peninsula on 19 February 1588 and defeated the forces of Honda Shigetada led by Ikeda Tsuneoki at the Battle of Kosaka. The Honda forces were pushed back to Sakai by October of 1588 but the forces led by Honda Shigetada was able to win decisively at the Battle of Higashi-Sakai on 12-18 November 1588. After the complete capitulation of the Kii Peninsula, the Honda forces split into 2 groups: The Right Army, led by Shigetada, was tasked to attack Northern Yagikoshu to relieve the pressure from the Yamauchi clan, who had allied itself with the Ogasawara. The Left Army, led by Anjō Motonobu, was tasked to invade the Uesugi Territories from their base in Sakai.<br />
<br />
The Left Army enjoyed a string of Victories in the Battles of Hachimon and Itsukaichi in mid-1589 but were defeated in the Battle of Tsuitsui on 2 September 1589. Anjō Motonobu was killed in the Battle of Mogami after a surprise attack by the Uesugi by flooding the Sai River on 30 September 1589. The Left Army was driven back into Kii by 12 January 1590, where Sakakibara Yasuhide signed a non-aggression pact with the Uesugi on behalf of Shigetada. Meanwhile, Shigetada was able to control the Northern coast of Yagikoshu by securing victories in the Battles of Tedori, Uwakai and Kago in mid-1589. The Yamauchi were relieved from the invasion of the Satake clan by Honda Shigetada and were able to drive the Satake out of the Yamauchi clan territories in Settsu by 2 July 1589. However, the Honda clan's control over the Northern coast of Yagikoshu was short-lived. With the death of Anjō Motonobu at the Battle of Mogami, the Uesugi attacked the Honda clan's supply lines and Shigetada was cut off from Sakai. The Right Army was defeated at the Battle of Makino on 20 December 1589 and Shigetada was forced to retreat to Haruguni on 14 March 1590. Sakai was destroyed by the Uesugi forces and moved its residents to Toyozawa.<br />
<br />
===Punishment by Terumasa and the Incident in Okami, 1590-1592===<br />
<br />
Upon returning to Nagashino, Ogasawara Terumasa reprimanded Shigetada for his failure of the invasion of Yagikoshu. The Honda clan's holdings in Musashino were reduced to 10,200 ''koku'' and Shigetada's wives and children were to be sent in the newly-completed Otomo castle to be kept as hostages. Shigetada lamented about the loss of more than three quarters of territory and his children and had offered to commit ''seppuku'' to Terumasa for his failures during the invasion of Northern Yagikoshu. However, Ogasawara Terumasa declined, saying that Shigetada's punishment would be slow and painful for being indecisive which led to the death of one of his retainers. Shigetada returned to Nagashino in despair and became a hermit from September of 1590 to March of 1591, writing no letters to his wives, his vassals or his children. Many people in Nagashino did not see him do political affairs and with dealing with the Ogasawara either; instead Shigetada was in the streets and shops of Nagashino to talk to its citizens, its merchants and peasants that supply Nagashino. It was believed that many of Shigetada's mercantile and agricultural laws that were implemented by the ''bakufu'' came from his interaction with local citizens. It was also here where Shigetada would meet Ii Naomasa, one of his four pillars, on a weapons shop. Naomasa had become a ''rōnin'' after the death of Taketoyo Sadahiro and his expulsion from Taketoyo Sadayori's vassals. Honda Shigetada employed Ii Naomasa in 2 January 1589 and Naomasa immediately offered to send his two children, [[Ii Naotaka|Michiyo]] and [[Suwa Hidetoshi|Takechiyo]] to Otomo Castle as hostages.<br />
<br />
In 18 March 1591, seeing Honda Shigetada's failure in securing the northern coast of Yagikoshu, Takigawa Kazumasu was tasked with the planned second invasion of Yagikoshu with the help of Yamagata Masakage. Terumasa targeted an invasion date of mid-March 1592. During the preparation period however, Takigawa Kazumasu saw a change in Ogasawara Terumasa's attitude that reminded him of the Ogasawara Terumune's demeanour during the Yuzawa Incident. Terumasa was more aggressive and more impatient; he would pay attention to every single detail of the invasion force, from the length of their spears to armour. Terumasa had also grown suspicious of Honda Shigetada, who had not answered the letters from him; neither did his own family and his vassals received any word from Shigetada about Terumasa's requests, even though they were in danger of being killed by the Ogasawara. In 3 February 1582, Terumasa would send an unusual expeditionary force of 800 people against Shigetada, which was unprecedented since Shigetada was his own vassal.<br />
<br />
Terumasa would also force the Imperial Court, including Emperor Komei, to move to Otomo Castle by late May 1592, which is unprecedented during that period as the emperor is not allowed to leave the Imperial Palace complex unless under extreme distress such as a foreign invasion. Takigawa Kazumasu became extremely concerned as he knew that the repercussions of the Imperial Family being moved to Otomo Castle to be potentially slaughtered by Terumasa and Shigetomo's life being put into danger would destabilize Mitoyagi and put it very deep into civil war. Takigawa Kazumasu would send an expeditionary 1,000-strong force towards Nagashino to protect Shigetada while moving the majority of his troops towards the Port of Izu with a stopover in Okami in order to stop and assassinate Ogasawara Terumasa.<br />
<br />
As planned, Ogasawara Terumasa would stay in Okami's Kofukuji temple. In 21 April 1592, the same day that Terumasa would perish in the Kofukuji coup, the Takigawa army led by Maeda Toshiie successfully repelled the small contingent of Ogasawara soldiers and would notify Honda Shigetada about the betrayal of Takigawa Kazumasu. The Honda clan would quickly group and proceeded to attack Otomo Castle in 3 March 1592, successfully freeing the children and wives of the Honda clan and would cause the destruction of the Otomo castle. Honda Shigetada would return to Nagashino and immediately make amends with Takigawa Kazumasu who now controls the majority of the Ogasawara clan's holdings in Haruguni. Takigawa Kazumasu restored Honda Shigetada's rice allocation to 125,000 ''koku'' and allow his vassals to return service to him.<br />
<br />
==Reunification of Mitoyagi==<br />
[[File:Shigetada Defense of Suemori.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A woodblock print of Honda Shigetada resting after he successfully repelled the Takigawa Forces at the Defense of Suemori.]]<br />
===Conflict with Takigawa Kazumasu===<br />
After the events of 1592, the relationship between Honda Shigetada and Takigawa Kazumasu had become strained. Although they had made amends and restored some level of trust, tensions were still high.<br />
<br />
In 1593, the conflict between the two escalated. Takigawa became increasingly concerned with the growing power of the Honda clan and their alliance with the powerful Sone clan. He feared that this could upset the delicate balance of power in the region and potentially lead to his own downfall. Takigawa's suspicions were confirmed when he discovered that Honda Shigetada was secretly amassing a large army. He believed that Shigetada was planning to attack and take over his territories. In response, Takigawa sent a messenger to Shigetada, demanding that he disband his army and submit to his authority.<br />
<br />
Shigetada, however, refused to back down. He argued that his army was necessary for the defense of his lands and that he had no intention of attacking Takigawa. Despite these reassurances, Takigawa remained suspicious and decided to take preemptive action. In early summer of 1593, Takigawa led a surprise attack on Honda Shigetada's castle in Suemori. The attack caught the Honda forces off guard, and they suffered heavy losses. Shigetada himself narrowly escaped with his life.<br />
<br />
The attack sparked a full-scale conflict between the two sides. Honda Shigetada rallied his forces and launched a counter-attack on Takigawa's territories. The fighting was fierce and lasted for several months, with both sides suffering heavy losses. In the end, neither side was able to gain a decisive victory. The conflict ended in a stalemate, with both sides agreeing to a ceasefire.<br />

<br />
{{nihongo|'''Emperor Shirakawa of Mitoyagi'''|白河天皇|Shirakawa Tennō|extra=November 26 1556 – June 6, 1625}}, also known as {{nihongo|'''Honda Heihachirō Shigetada'''|本多平八郎重忠}}, {{nihongo|'''Fumihito'''|史仁}}, and his Buddhist name {{nihongo|'''Seiganji Denzen Chushochō Yoshinobu Daikoji'''|史西岸寺殿前中書長誉良信大居士}} was the 105th Emperor of [[Okaiken|Mitoyagi]], according to the traditional order of succession. He was also the first [[Imperial bakufu]] [[shogun|shōgun]] from 1601 to 1610 and he was only person in the line to hold both the position of the emperor and shogun at the same time. <br />
<br />
Known as '''Fumihito''' at birth, he was abducted from the Okami Palace on March 5, 1576 by members of the Ogasawara clan in an attempt to take control of the Imperial Court as well as to persuade the Imperial Family to install [[Ogasawara Terumune]] as the shogun. The abduction is now known as the [[Yuzawa Incident]]. The Imperial Family agreed to let the Ogasawara clan take the young prince but was later abandoned by the clan at a temple in Mino. When he came of age, the Honda clan would train him as an officer within the clan and assumed the name of '''Ogasawara Taisei'''. When [[Ogasawara Terumasa]] succeeded Terumune as the daimyō of the Ogasawara clan, Shigetada became his vassal. <br />
<br />
He would later return to serve the Honda clan, after the Ogasawara clan offered him as a candidate to the Honda clan as the successor to the childless Shigetatsu to solidify their diplomatic partnership. Shigetada was one of the Four Honda Heavenly Pillars along with Ii Naomasa, Sakakibara Yasumasa and [[Anjō Motonobu]]. It was widely acknowledged that he was a reputed samurai and a loyal retainer of Ogasawara Terumasa. Shigetada is often referred to as "The Warrior who surpassed Death itself" because he never once suffered a significant wound, despite being the veteran of over 40 battles by the end of his life, and because he was never defeated by another samurai during his military service. He eventually became the successor of the Honda clan after being adopted by Shigetatsu who was not able to produce an heir before his death. After the death of Ogasawara Terumasa, Shigetada continued his conquest of Mitoyagi, first trying to avenge the assassination of his lord Terumasa by Takigawa Kazumasu, then by avenging the death of Anjō Motonobu by usurping the island of Yagikoshu and eventually subjugating the lands that were under the Takigawa after Kazumasu's assassination in 1598. <br />
<br />
In 1601, he was expected to be declared shōgun by the Imperial Family in Okami but was instead declared as the Crown Prince in addition to the shōgun title by the Emperor Komei and was forced to relinquish most of his power to his second son, [[Honda Shigetomo]] when the Emperor Komei died in 1610. His eldest son, Honda Shigemasa, was declared as the Prince Takahito and became his Imperial successor. <br />
<br />
As the emperor, Shirakawa oversaw the consolidation of power within the Empire and established the Honda clan as the legitimate ruler of the country. He then split his family into two distinct branches with Honda Shigetomo getting full control over the land distribution and the military while the Imperial family was further reduced into a ceremonial role. He also presided over the implementation of religious freedom with the exception of Christianity that he vehemently repressed. He also help write the [[Tale of Shikibu]], a popular novel involving the Sengoku Period as well as the rise of the Honda Shogunate. <br />
<br />
He was assassinated in 1625 during the Kinzō Incident for [[Honda Shigetomo]]'s involvement in reforming the Sanese Han System, which angered many of the former shōen estates. [[Ii Naotaka]], who was the perpetrator of the attacks, was defeated and killed by the forces of the Shogunate at the Battle of Ichijoudani.<br />
<br />
==Early life and abduction==<br />
{{Main|Yuzawa Incident}}<br />
<br />
The emperor was born on February 25, 1556 at imperial palace through then Crown Prince Yoshihito (Emperor Komei) and the empress Sento-in. The prince was named Fumihito, in hopes that the future prince will serve all the people of Mitoyagi. The imperial family had long been removed from the political landscape, only serving as the signatory of many ''shōen'' estates that had led to the [[Sengoku period]] of Okaiken.<br />
<br />
In October 12, 1558, while the Imperial Family was staying on the summer palace of Mikasawa, in the territory of the Ogasawara clan of Mino, [[Yuzawa Incident|assailants breached the walls]] of the poorly guarded palace and succeeded in kidnapping the young prince. Prince Mutsuhito, the uncle of the prince, was inadvertently assassinated during the kidnapping; The Crown Prince Yoshihito was uninjured but laments the kidnapping of his son and the death of Mutsuhito. Fumihito was taken to the residence of the Ogasawara clan in an attempt to extort the Imperial Family for more control of territory in Mino and also attempt to rule Mitoyagi through increasing their ranks. The emperor first refused the demands of the Ogasawara clan, but later backtracked after Ogasawara Terunobu threatened to kill the young prince regardless of his imperial status. <br />
<br />
In the process, members of the Ogasawara clan received the northern quarter of the island of Haruguni and a considerable sum of 300,000 ''koku'' for the main Ogasawara clan retainers. This accounted to 1.5 million ''koku'' overall. The imperial court also appointed Terunobu a ''Bugyō'' of the imperial courts, giving him considerable power and authority of the Mitoyagi islands. However, the Ogasawara clan never exchanged Fumihito; instead, the clan claimed that he had died of disease during his journey back to the capital. The crown prince later asked the warring clans to take over the capital in order to free the imperial government from the influence of the Ogasawara. <br />
<br />
Fumihito was placed in the Shōhei Temple under the guidance of Zen no Kishō and was trained to become a page. He became known as "Ichimatsu" during his stay at Shōhei Temple. The Ogasawara clan would later abandon the hostaged prince at the temple due to the increasing intensity of hostilities in Mitoyagi and began their brutal unification process of the rest of the Sanese Islands in order to stop the emperor's demands to the other warring clans to take the capital from the Ogasawara clan. <br />
<br />
Zen no Kishō would convert Ichimatsu into Jodō-shu, or Pure Land Buddhism, in order to influence the imperial court through religion to recognize and allow the practice of Jodō-shu and Jodō-shinshu in Okaiken, which was illegal at the time. In 1561, Ogasawara Terumune was killed battling the Takehara clan in the Battle of Adachi, and was succeeded by Ogasawara Terumasa. Terumasa was known as the "Fool of Mino" and was not interested in the affairs of his father against the Imperial Family, so he burned any records of any interaction of the Ogasawara and the Imperial Family including records about the young prince.<br />
<br />
==Forgotten and adopted==<br />
When he came of age on February 25, 1573 Ichimatsu, serving as a page at Shohei-ji, became the temple's housekeeper. He became in charge of the festivities during the Kanto festival and adopted practices that are still being done at the temple today. He was a devout ''Jodō-shu'', in contrast to the Imperial Family's animistic beliefs. <br />
<br />
In March of 1573, Ichimatsu killed two bandits that were targeting him and [[Shimotsuma Rairen]], then Shohei-ji's temple guard. Proving his rudimentary skills with the ''yari'', he was sent to serve Ogasawara Terumasa's brother, Ogasawara Teruhide, and defend the town of Suemori from the invasion of the Taketoyo clan. <br />
<br />
On July 22, 1573 Ichimatsu was officially adopted by Honda Shigetatsu after seeing his abilities at administering the temple. Back then, Shigetatsu was a vassal under the Ogasawara. In 1574, the Ogasawara clan launched an unprecedented assault of Kuge, a neighbouring province of Mino. Shigetatsu, which happened to be childless, decided that Ichimatsu be the next leader of the clan by adopting him directly to his tutelage. Ichimatsu was quickly trained in the military arts and was given his swords and his own ''yari''. While he was reluctant to do so at first, he slowly learned combat skills. Ichimatsu remained a devout ''Jodō-shu'' member against the wishes of his adopted father, who was of the ''Nichiren'' sect. He would later encourage his adopted father to adopt ''Jodō-shu''. Ichimatsu was known to be clumsy during weaponry practice and would always scorned by Shigetatsu. Ichimatsu was a clear speaker with a strong presence about him, and was known to run around with other youths from the area, without any regard to his own rank in society. Some of them would later play a large role in the Imperial Bakufu, such as Kuroda Fukumaru and Hori Soemon. With the introduction of firearms into Mitoyagi he became known for his fondness for ''tanegashima'' guns and his spear.<br />
<br />
In his second coming-of-age ceremony on 12 August 1574, this time as a ''bushi'', Ichimatsu adopted the name of Honda-no-Shigetada, adopting the "Shige" character from his adoptive father and "Tada" from another one of the retainers of the Ogasawara clan, Takigawa Tadakage. By this time, the Ogasawara could no longer identify if he was the prince Fumihito and perceived that he was the biological son of Honda Shigetatsu. He received his the ceremonial sword of the Honda clan and was sent to assist Ogasawara Terumasa as the representative successor to Honda Shigetatsu. He was Terumasa's sandal-bearer until Ogasawara Terumasa was ambushed at the Battle of Iwawada, where he would valiantly defend his lord from an onslaught of attackers from the Yuki clan. He and Terumasa were able to safely retreat to the Ogasawara family compound in Nagaya. Terumasa would later bestow the name ''Taisei'' to Shigetada and allowed him to adopt the Ogasawara family name for his service to Terumasa.<br />
<br />
==Sengoku samurai==<br />
{{Campaigns of Honda Shigetada| embed=yes}}<br />
<br />
Shigetada participated in his second battle in February 1575 at the Battle of Sakaide. Terumasa subsequently gave him retainer status along with Takigawa Kazumasu, Takigawa Tadakage's son. He received a stipend of 2,000 ''koku'' from Terumasa in Mino as a reward for his promotion to retainer status. However, in April of 1575, A succession crisis loomed over the Ogasawara clan. Ogasawara Teruhide, the younger brother of Terumasa, staged a revolt against him. Terumasa, collecting about a thousand men, suppressed the hostile members of his family and their allies. Ogasawara Teruhide was defeated by Terumasa at the Battle of Awa, but escaped to Suemori castle, where Terumasa had assigned Shigetada and Takigawa Kazumasu to lay siege upon. The siege was successful and Teruhide was forced to commit ''seppuku''. Terumasa rewarded Shigetada a long spear called the ''tonbōgiri'' and an additional 10,000 ''koku'' to him. <br />
<br />
In July of 1576, Terumasa sent Shigetada to protect Suzuki Yasutomo in the Siege of Okawanishi. Yasutomo had defected to Terumasa's side from Taketoyo Sadahiro, a daimyo from Musashino Province, one of the most powerful men in Haruguni. <br />
<br />
By 1578, Terumasa had captured and obliterated the fortress of Iwakura, eliminated all opposition within the Ogasawara clan, and established his uncontested rule in Mino Province. Shigetada was given a stipend of another 10,000 ''koku'' (with a total of 22,000 ''koku'') and ownership of the damaged Suemori castle, which with the help of the ''hatamoto'' of the Honda clan, was rebuilt into the current Nagashino Castle in 1581. <br />
<br />
In July of 1579, Shigetada met his first and primary wife Hatsune-no-kata in the town of Mikata in the neighbouring province of Kōchi while laying siege to the castle town of Nakaoka. She was the daughter of the Lord of Mikata Castle, [[Anjō Motonobu]], who had earlier defected to the Ogasawara from the Taketoyo due to Sadahiro's poor treatment of his clan. To bid for his survival of the clan, Hatsune-no-kata was going to be sent to Terumasa in order for him to be taken as his wife but would decline the offer. Shigetada, for reasons unknown to this day, instead offered to be her husband. Later, the Anjō would become primary vassals of the Honda clan and would take various high level government positions in the ''bakufu''. In 4 October 1580, their first child, Nabenosuke (later the Prince Takahito, then the Emperor Daigo), was born. <br />
<br />
In 23 June 1581, Shigetada received the news that the head of the Honda clan and his adoptive father Honda Shigetatsu was ill and wanted Shigetada to take his place as the leader of the Honda clan. Terumasa approved of the move on 8 August 1581, and Shigetada changed his name back to Honda and adopted the name ''Heihachirō'', a name that was passed down to the first-born son or the presumed successor for many generations. In 18 November 1581 Shigetatsu would later succumb to his illness, and Shigetada became the head of the Honda clan. Ogasawara Terumasa allowed Shigetada to move the Honda clan from Nagaya to Suemori with a degree of independence not seen with the other Ogasawara retainers.<br />
<br />
In 1582, his second son, [[Honda Shigetomo|Naiki]], was born from his primary wife; it was followed by the birth of his third son, [[Honda Shigetoki|Naimon]] from a concubine three months later. In 14 July 1582, he participated in the Battle of Uomura, where he famously defeated Yamanaka Shikanosuke in a duel. Shikanosuke would later join the Ogasawara as a retainer for Takigawa Kazumasu. After the Battle of Uomura, Shigetada would later venture and attack territories in Kaga, where he was able to defeat the small Hachisuka clan at the Seige of Wakamatsu.<br />
<br />
==Leader of Honda clan==<br />
<br />
As the leader of Suemori (Nagashino) castle, Shigetada was tasked by Terumasa to take advantage of the weakening Taketoyo clan and take over Musashino province. In April of 1584 he lay siege to the Taketoyo clan's castle at Temmokuzan and was successful. Taketoyo Sadayori, the adopted son of Taketoyo Sadahiro, committed ''seppuku''. When the once powerful Taketoyo clan was defeated, Ogasawara Terumasa gained greatly in prestige, and many samurai and warlords pledged fealty to him. Subsequent victories by Takigawa Kazumasu in Kuge and Shibata Gonroku in Kōchi consolidated Terumasa's control over the northern half of the Island of Haruguni. <br />
<br />
In 14 December 1585, Honda clan forces headed by Anjō Motonobu attacked the Yamagata clan in the battle of Yunami but was defeated by Yamagata Masakage and was forced to retreat to Nagashino. In February of 1586, another attack was launched by the Uesugi from the island of Yagikoshu in retaliation to the destruction of the Taketoyo clan in Musashino, of which they were allied with. Already defeated in Yunami and significantly weakened by disease and a rare typhoon in January of 1585, the Honda clan lost the majority of its control of Musashino and the Uesugi was on the verge of invading Mino through the breakthrough. <br />
<br />
===Failures, then successes in Musashino===<br />
<br />
Terumasa would recall Shigetada from Nagashino after his failure and was asked to commit ''seppuku'' in Nagaya castle but was later encouraged by the rest of his vassals not to commit as Shigetada was facing two powerful clans at the same time without being helped by the rest of the Ogasawara allies; if Shigetada was to commit ''seppuku'', the Ogasawara would become vulnerable in Mino from the attacks by the Uesugi. Terumasa agreed to send Shigetada back into Nagashino to continue the defense of Musashino from the Yamagata and the Uesugi. Takigawa Kazumasu would provide assistance and both were able to wrest Musashino from the Yamagata by November of 1586. The Honda clan also won a decisive battle in the Battle of Yokosuka on 13 November 1586 where Shigetada and less than 500 troops were able to suppress the Uesugi's 7,000-strong army from taking over the strategic Yokosuka castle. The Uesugi would later retreat to Yagikoshu on 18 January 1587. Takigawa Kazumasu and Honda Shigetada would later restart its invasion of the Yamagata clan at the battle of Morihama where Yamagata Masakage was captured and was thought to be ordered executed. Instead, Takigawa Kazumasu would forgive him and encouraged him to join his forces in order to keep his territory in Iwami but with a reduction from 120,000 ''koku'' to 32,000 ''koku''. Honda Shigetada was given about 20,000 ''koku'' for helping Takigawa Kazumasu.<br />
<br />
Ogasawara Terumasa would send Takigawa Kazumasu and Maeda Toshiie to the imperial court in 14 June 1587 to install Terumasa as the ''daijō-danjo''. The imperial court agreed to have both Kazumasu and Toshiie meet the emperor. To their surprise, the Emperor Komei looked similar to Honda Shigetada and had asked if he was Honda Shigetada himself. The emperor declined that he was Honda Shigetada, but mentioned about the abduction of his first born and had thought that he had been killed on the way back to the capital. The emperor believed that the now crown prince is still alive and if he was proven wrong, then the succession would continue on but become endangered with the Princess Tomoko, who was childless and would have to adopt a prince from the military families of Okaiken. Kazumasu mentioned that the Ogasawara abandoned Shigetada on a temple and it was Honda Shigetatsu that ultimately adopted him to the Honda clan. In spite of the revelations, the emperor agreed to install Terumasa as the ''daijō-danjo'' but would mention to Kazumasu and Toshiie that if Terumasa and the Ogasawara were to endanger the imperial court and Honda Shigetada again, both Kazumasu and Toshiie are granted powers to overrule Terumasa and kill him without punishment. This would later influence the betrayal of Takigawa Kazumasu against Ogaswara Terumasa in 1592.<br />
<br />
===First invasion of Yagikoshu, 1587-1590===<br />
[[File:本多重忠小牧.jpg |350px|thumb|left|A woodblock print of Honda Shigetada after his defeat in the Battle of Makino.]]<br />
In Nagaya, Ogasawara Terumasa would task Honda Shigetada with the invasion of Yagikoshu on 19 October 1587. Shigetada would land on a village about 17 kilometres northeast of Toyozawa and establish the castle town of Sakai. Shigetada suppressed the counterattack by Yano Nobumori in the battle of Otsuka in 26-27 of November 1587 and later destroy the Yano clan in the invasion of the Kinai Peninsula on 14 February 1588. The Uesugi, who is based on Toyozawa, attacked the Southern Kinai peninsula on 19 February 1588 and defeated the forces of Honda Shigetada led by Ikeda Tsuneoki at the Battle of Kosaka. The Honda forces were pushed back to Sakai by October of 1588 but the forces led by Honda Shigetada was able to win decisively at the Battle of Higashi-Sakai on 12-18 November 1588. After the complete capitulation of the Kii Peninsula, the Honda forces split into 2 groups: The Right Army, led by Shigetada, was tasked to attack Northern Yagikoshu to relieve the pressure from the Yamauchi clan, who had allied itself with the Ogasawara. The Left Army, led by Anjō Motonobu, was tasked to invade the Uesugi Territories from their base in Sakai.<br />
<br />
The Left Army enjoyed a string of Victories in the Battles of Hachimon and Itsukaichi in mid-1589 but were defeated in the Battle of Tsuitsui on 2 September 1589. Anjō Motonobu was killed in the Battle of Mogami after a surprise attack by the Uesugi by flooding the Sai River on 30 September 1589. The Left Army was driven back into Kii by 12 January 1590, where Sakakibara Yasuhide signed a non-aggression pact with the Uesugi on behalf of Shigetada. Meanwhile, Shigetada was able to control the Northern coast of Yagikoshu by securing victories in the Battles of Tedori, Uwakai and Kago in mid-1589. The Yamauchi were relieved from the invasion of the Satake clan by Honda Shigetada and were able to drive the Satake out of the Yamauchi clan territories in Settsu by 2 July 1589. However, the Honda clan's control over the Northern coast of Yagikoshu was short-lived. With the death of Anjō Motonobu at the Battle of Mogami, the Uesugi attacked the Honda clan's supply lines and Shigetada was cut off from Sakai. The Right Army was defeated at the Battle of Makino on 20 December 1589 and Shigetada was forced to retreat to Haruguni on 14 March 1590. Sakai was destroyed by the Uesugi forces and moved its residents to Toyozawa.<br />
<br />
===Punishment by Terumasa and the Incident in Okami, 1590-1592===<br />
<br />
Upon returning to Nagashino, Ogasawara Terumasa reprimanded Shigetada for his failure of the invasion of Yagikoshu. The Honda clan's holdings in Musashino were reduced to 10,200 ''koku'' and Shigetada's wives and children were to be sent in the newly-completed Otomo castle to be kept as hostages. Shigetada lamented about the loss of more than three quarters of territory and his children and had offered to commit ''seppuku'' to Terumasa for his failures during the invasion of Northern Yagikoshu. However, Ogasawara Terumasa declined, saying that Shigetada's punishment would be slow and painful for being indecisive which led to the death of one of his retainers. Shigetada returned to Nagashino in despair and became a hermit from September of 1590 to March of 1591, writing no letters to his wives, his vassals or his children. Many people in Nagashino did not see him do political affairs and with dealing with the Ogasawara either; instead Shigetada was in the streets and shops of Nagashino to talk to its citizens, its merchants and peasants that supply Nagashino. It was believed that many of Shigetada's mercantile and agricultural laws that were implemented by the ''bakufu'' came from his interaction with local citizens. It was also here where Shigetada would meet Ii Naomasa, one of his four pillars, on a weapons shop. Naomasa had become a ''rōnin'' after the death of Taketoyo Sadahiro and his expulsion from Taketoyo Sadayori's vassals. Honda Shigetada employed Ii Naomasa in 2 January 1589 and Naomasa immediately offered to send his two children, [[Ii Naotaka|Michiyo]] and [[Suwa Hidetoshi|Takechiyo]] to Otomo Castle as hostages.<br />
<br />
In 18 March 1591, seeing Honda Shigetada's failure in securing the northern coast of Yagikoshu, Takigawa Kazumasu was tasked with the planned second invasion of Yagikoshu with the help of Yamagata Masakage. Terumasa targeted an invasion date of mid-March 1592. During the preparation period however, Takigawa Kazumasu saw a change in Ogasawara Terumasa's attitude that reminded him of the Ogasawara Terumune's demeanour during the Yuzawa Incident. Terumasa was more aggressive and more impatient; he would pay attention to every single detail of the invasion force, from the length of their spears to armour. Terumasa had also grown suspicious of Honda Shigetada, who had not answered the letters from him; neither did his own family and his vassals received any word from Shigetada about Terumasa's requests, even though they were in danger of being killed by the Ogasawara. In 3 February 1582, Terumasa would send an unusual expeditionary force of 800 people against Shigetada, which was unprecedented since Shigetada was his own vassal.<br />
<br />
Terumasa would also force the Imperial Court, including Emperor Komei, to move to Otomo Castle by late May 1592, which is unprecedented during that period as the emperor is not allowed to leave the Imperial Palace complex unless under extreme distress such as a foreign invasion. Takigawa Kazumasu became extremely concerned as he knew that the repercussions of the Imperial Family being moved to Otomo Castle to be potentially slaughtered by Terumasa and Shigetomo's life being put into danger would destabilize Mitoyagi and put it very deep into civil war. Takigawa Kazumasu would send an expeditionary 1,000-strong force towards Nagashino to protect Shigetada while moving the majority of his troops towards the Port of Izu with a stopover in Okami in order to stop and assassinate Ogasawara Terumasa.<br />
<br />
As planned, Ogasawara Terumasa would stay in Okami's Kofukuji temple. In 21 April 1592, the same day that Terumasa would perish in the Kofukuji coup, the Takigawa army led by Maeda Toshiie successfully repelled the small contingent of Ogasawara soldiers and would notify Honda Shigetada about the betrayal of Takigawa Kazumasu. The Honda clan would quickly group and proceeded to attack Otomo Castle in 3 March 1592, successfully freeing the children and wives of the Honda clan and would cause the destruction of the Otomo castle. Honda Shigetada would return to Nagashino and immediately make amends with Takigawa Kazumasu who now controls the majority of the Ogasawara clan's holdings in Haruguni. Takigawa Kazumasu restored Honda Shigetada's rice allocation to 125,000 ''koku'' and allow his vassals to return service to him.<br />
<br />
==Reunification of Mitoyagi==<br />
[[File:Shigetada Defense of Suemori.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A woodblock print of Honda Shigetada resting after he successfully repelled the Takigawa Forces at the Defense of Suemori.]]<br />
===Conflict with Takigawa Kazumasu===<br />
After the events of 1592, the relationship between Honda Shigetada and Takigawa Kazumasu had become strained. Although they had made amends and restored some level of trust, tensions were still high.<br />
<br />
In 1593, the conflict between the two escalated. Takigawa became increasingly concerned with the growing power of the Honda clan and their alliance with the powerful Sone clan. He feared that this could upset the delicate balance of power in the region and potentially lead to his own downfall. Takigawa's suspicions were confirmed when he discovered that Honda Shigetada was secretly amassing a large army. He believed that Shigetada was planning to attack and take over his territories. In response, Takigawa sent a messenger to Shigetada, demanding that he disband his army and submit to his authority.<br />
<br />
Shigetada, however, refused to back down. He argued that his army was necessary for the defense of his lands and that he had no intention of attacking Takigawa. Despite these reassurances, Takigawa remained suspicious and decided to take preemptive action. In early summer of 1593, Takigawa led a surprise attack on Honda Shigetada's castle in Nagashino. The attack caught the Honda forces off guard, and they suffered heavy losses. Shigetada himself narrowly escaped with his life.<br />
<br />
The attack sparked a full-scale conflict between the two sides. Honda Shigetada rallied his forces and launched a counter-attack on Takigawa's territories. The fighting was fierce and lasted for several months, with both sides suffering heavy losses. In the end, neither side was able to gain a decisive victory. The conflict ended in a stalemate, with both sides agreeing to a ceasefire.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Anjō Motonobu '''|安条元信||extra=7 December 1534 – 3 October 1589}}, is a daimyō from the Sengoku Period of Mitoyagi. He is the leader of the Anjō clan from 1572 until his death at the battle of Mogami in 1589. He was regarded as one of [[Emperor Shirakawa of Mitoyagi|Honda Shigetada]]'s most reliable and trusted advisors, and his daughter Hatsu-no-kata was the primary wife of Shigetada. <br />
<br />
The Anjō clan under Motonobu was under the Taketoyo clan but were demoted from the ''fudai'' to the ''tozama'' after the maneuvers by the Taketoyo adviser Hachisuka Koroku; in an attempt to take over the small, but strategic town of Mikata from the Anjō. In response, Motonobu cut off all of his ties to the Taketoyo and sided with [[Ogasawara Terumasa]], sending his daughter Hatsu-no-kata to be wed to Terumasa. However, Terumasa refused to be married to her but Honda Shigetada suggested to be married with her as a vassal of the Ogasawara and support the Anjō clan. Motonobu, moved by the act, decided to become a vassal of Shigetada.<br />
<br />
As Shigetada's vassal, Motonobu quickly became known for his mastery of marine and water warfare, securing victories for the Honda clan at the invasions of Musashino and Yagikoshu. He was also instrumental in building several ships that would become the backbone of the first navy of Mitoyagi, the ''Anjō-Murakami Suigun''. However, during the invasion of Yagikoshū, he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Mogami after being trapped by the Uesugi forces in the Sai River. He was swept into the village of Kozuke-Sai after the battle, where he died in 3 October 1589. Honda Shigetada, later the Emperor Shirakawa, would later rename the town of Mogami to Anjō, where it would be later absorbed by Saikawa in 2008 to become Anjō-Saikawa.<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
Motonobu was born in in the province of Miyagi, Okaiken. He was the son of Anjō Motonaga, a vassal of the Taketoyo clan who were the lords of Kyoshu. Motonobu's family lived in a small village on the outskirts of Mikata, surrounded by rice paddies and lush green mountains. Despite being born into a samurai family, Motonobu spent much of his early childhood playing by the river that ran through the village, chasing after fish.<br />
<br />
As he grew older, Motonobu's family moved into a larger home in the town of Mikata, where his father worked as an administrator for the Taketoyo clan. Mikata was a bustling town, home to traders and merchants from all over Okaiken, and Motonobu was fascinated by the sights and sounds of the marketplaces and the busy streets.<br />
<br />
In his early teens, Motonobu began to receive samurai training from his father and other members of the Anjō clan. He learned how to use a sword and bow, as well as other martial arts techniques, and spent long hours practicing in the clan's home. Despite his samurai training, Motonobu never lost his love for the outdoors, and he continued to spend much of his free time exploring the surrounding countryside. He would often hike up into the mountains or paddle his way down the river, always eager to discover new sights and adventures. It was during one of these excursions that he first encountered the neighboring province of Sanno and its powerful daimyō, Ogasawara Terumasa, who would ultimately play a pivotal role in Motonobu's life.<br />

<br />
===Battle of Tsuitsui===<br />
<br />
==Death==<br />
After being defeated at the Battle of Tsuitsui on 2 September 1589, Motonobu retreated to Mogami castle on 4 September 1589. There, he had asked Shigetada through messengers to send more troops for the left army by five weeks or risk losing the entire left army. Mogami castle lay in a floodplain and the monsoon season had just begun. Motonobu had mastered water battles from an offensive standpoint but had never in defense. On 19 September 1589, Shigetada replied back through another messenger, writing that his own forces were in trouble from the Uesugi forces and suggested Motonobu to retreat 40 miles to Fukuda castle. However, the messenger was intercepted by the Uesugi forces and was killed. Shigekawa Toshiyuki, a retainer of the Uesugi, would use the intercepted intel and instructions against Motonobu's forces. Motonobu, anticipating his death after never receiving Shigetada's orders, wrote a death poem to Shigetada as a response; saying that it would be the last time they would hear from each other. It read like a suicide note once Shigetada receives it.<br />
<br />
"My name shall cross several seas and reach the realms of the ''Hokuban''", the letter's epilogue read. <br />
<br />
On 30 September 1589, while Motonobu and what was left of the Left army was preparing to cross the Sai River to retreat at Fukuda Castle, the Uesugi forces attacked from three sides. Some of the Left army regiments were able to return to Mogami castle but Motonobu was trapped in the middle of the river with the current steadily increasing from moderate rain in the morning, intensifying by the time of the skirmish. With the rain heavily pouring on the battlefield, Motonobu was unable to proceed with his horse and dismounted. He tried to tread his way back to Mogami castle but was encountered by two Uesugi soldiers who had pursued after him. The two soldiers were able to mortally wound Motonobu in a melee but was unable to kill him as he was swept away by the river's strengthening current when he fell. Motonobu was carried away by the current for five kilometres but miraculously never sank underwater during the ordeal; eventually Motonobu ended up at the shores of Kozuke-Sai, an outlying village that supports Mogami castle. He was later found by villagers, still conscious but was bleeding heavily. <br />
<br />
The villagers were able to move and hide Motonobu at one of the storehouses in the village. Motonobu, beginning to lose consciousness, mentioned to the villagers that he had failed his clan and Honda Shigetada. The villagers comforted Motonobu by providing bandages and tea but Motonobu temporarily lost his consciousness due to shock. On 2 of October 1589 he had regained his consciousness and begged for a villager to bring him a dagger so he can commit ''seppuku'' as he had lost his weapons in the river when he was swept away by the current. Much to Motonobu's disappointment, the villager was unable to bring the dagger as he was just a lowly merchant and none of the farmers are willing to give away their tools for a futile act, in addition, none of them have swords to behead him to complete the process of ''seppuku''. The villagers instead comforted Motonobu by serving him more tea, fed him food and were able to stop external bleeding of Motonobu's wounds. However, the villagers realized that Motonobu had lost a considerable amount of blood when he was carried away by the river and was bleeding internally.<br />
<br />
One of the merchants asked Motonobu if he had any requests for Honda Shigetada. Motonobu declined as he already sent him a letter telling him that he was going to die before venturing out of Mogami castle, and went on to say a word of gratitude to the merchant who did not abandon him even though the territory had returned to the Uesugi's control. He requested to have his body buried in the village if he dies as it was the first and last time that ordinary citizens had helped him. He then gave the villager one of his buddha amulets that he had been carrying, before Motonobu lost consciousness a final time. Motonobu died on 3 October 1589 at the age of 54 years old.<br />
<br />
Days later, the village of Kozuke-Sai handed over Motonobu's body and his armour to Honda Shigetada, who was moved to tears knowing that he just lost one of his most important retainers of the clan. As what Motonobu had wished to the villagers, Shigetada promised that he would come to the village one day and bury Motonobu at Enkōji, the only temple of the village. Motonobu's body was cremated at Mikata, and his bones and ashes would be sent to Enkōji after the Uesugi were driven out by Shigetada in the Second Invasion of Yagikoshu. <br />
<br />
The remaining regiments of the Left army, under Sakakibara Yasuhide, retreated back to Kii castle on 6 October 1589, where he was able to sign a non-aggression pact with the Uesugi and allow them to return to Haruguni without harm.<br />

<br />
From Western accounts, Anjō Motonobu was said to be a around 189 to 190 centimetres tall and was often depicted to have a large, muscular physical structure that often dwarfs other retainers and lords around him, including Honda Shigetada. He is often referred to as ''ōni-Motonobu'' due to his large physical appearance. Motonobu was often known for his physical strength, being able to lift an entire log by himself during the Battle of Morihama. Motonobu usually had long unkempt hair that was occasionally tied at the back and had grown a beard and a moustache. <br />
<br />
Unusual to other samurai armour during the era, Motonobu's armour doesn't include a ''sode''(shoulder armour) and opts for a ripped ''kote'' (armoured sleeve), which exposes his arms and shoulders in combat. This makes him an intimidating figure in the battlefield as well as allowing Motonobu to have more flexibility to use his arm strength. Shigetada's son [[Honda Shigetomo]] would later adopt Motonobu's example of not including shoulder armour and opting for a ripped ''kote''. Motonobu does not wear a ''kabuto'' (helmet) due to his long hair. Instead, he wears a head protection in a form of a ''hachigane'' (forehead protector) with sharp spikes. This often confused his adversaries as they thought of Motonobu as a regular Anjō foot soldier. <br />
<br />
In order to be identified as a retainer and vassal of the Honda clan, Motonobu wears a dark red ''shōjō jinbaori'' (vest). The materials used for the ''jinbaori'' came from Peilan and Kwangju. After being mortally wounded at the Battle of Mogami, Motonobu's ''shōjō jinbaori'' was found ripped due to the strength of the current that washed him off to Kozuke-Sai. The ripped ''jinbaori'' is currently on display at the National Museum of History in Okami.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Anjō Motonobu '''|安条元信||extra=7 December 1534 – 3 October 1589}}, is a daimyō from the Sengoku Period of Mitoyagi. He is the leader of the Anjō clan from 1572 until his death at the battle of Mogami in 1589. He was regarded as one of [[Emperor Shirakawa of Mitoyagi|Honda Shigetada]]'s most reliable and trusted advisors, and his daughter Hatsu-no-kata was the primary wife of Shigetada. <br />
<br />
The Anjō clan under Motonobu was under the Taketoyo clan but were demoted from the ''fudai'' to the ''tozama'' after the maneuvers by the Taketoyo adviser Hachisuka Koroku; in an attempt to take over the small, but strategic town of Mikata from the Anjō. In response, Motonobu cut off all of his ties to the Taketoyo and sided with [[Ogasawara Terumasa]], sending his daughter Hatsu-no-kata to be wed to Terumasa. However, Terumasa refused to be married to her but Honda Shigetada suggested to be married with her as a vassal of the Ogasawara and support the Anjō clan. Motonobu, moved by the act, decided to become a vassal of Shigetada.<br />
<br />
As Shigetada's vassal, Motonobu quickly became known for his mastery of marine and water warfare, securing victories for the Honda clan at the invasions of Musashino and Yagikoshu. He was also instrumental in building several ships that would become the backbone of the first navy of Mitoyagi, the ''Anjō-Murakami Suigun''. However, during the invasion of Yagikoshū, he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Mogami after being trapped by the Uesugi forces in the Sai River. He was swept into the village of Kozuke-Sai after the battle, where he died in 3 October 1589. Honda Shigetada, later the Emperor Shirakawa, would later rename the town of Mogami to Anjō, where it would be later absorbed by Saikawa in 2008 to become Anjō-Saikawa.<br />
<br />
==Early Life==<br />
Motonobu was born in in the province of Miyagi, Okaiken. He was the son of Anjō Motoharu, a vassal of the Taketoyo clan who were the lords of Kyoshu. Motonobu's family lived in a small village on the outskirts of Mikata, surrounded by rice paddies and lush green mountains. Despite being born into a samurai family, Motonobu spent much of his early childhood playing by the river that ran through the village, chasing after fish.<br />
<br />
As he grew older, Motonobu's family moved into a larger home in the town of Mikata, where his father worked as an administrator for the Taketoyo clan. Mikata was a bustling town, home to traders and merchants from all over Okaiken, and Motonobu was fascinated by the sights and sounds of the marketplaces and the busy streets.<br />
<br />
In his early teens, Motonobu began to receive samurai training from his father and other members of the Anjō clan. He learned how to use a sword and bow, as well as other martial arts techniques, and spent long hours practicing in the clan's home. Despite his samurai training, Motonobu never lost his love for the outdoors, and he continued to spend much of his free time exploring the surrounding countryside. He would often hike up into the mountains or paddle his way down the river, always eager to discover new sights and adventures. It was during one of these excursions that he first encountered the neighboring province of Sanno and its powerful daimyō, Ogasawara Terumasa, who would ultimately play a pivotal role in Motonobu's life.<br />

<br />
===Battle of Tsuitsui===<br />
<br />
==Death==<br />
After being defeated at the Battle of Tsuitsui on 2 September 1589, Motonobu retreated to Mogami castle on 4 September 1589. There, he had asked Shigetada through messengers to send more troops for the left army by five weeks or risk losing the entire left army. Mogami castle lay in a floodplain and the monsoon season had just begun. Motonobu had mastered water battles from an offensive standpoint but had never in defense. On 19 September 1589, Shigetada replied back through another messenger, writing that his own forces were in trouble from the Uesugi forces and suggested Motonobu to retreat 40 miles to Fukuda castle. However, the messenger was intercepted by the Uesugi forces and was killed. Shigekawa Toshiyuki, a retainer of the Uesugi, would use the intercepted intel and instructions against Motonobu's forces. Motonobu, anticipating his death after never receiving Shigetada's orders, wrote a death poem to Shigetada as a response; saying that it would be the last time they would hear from each other. It read like a suicide note once Shigetada receives it.<br />
<br />
"My name shall cross several seas and reach the realms of the ''Hokuban''", the letter's epilogue read. <br />
<br />
On 30 September 1589, while Motonobu and what was left of the Left army was preparing to cross the Sai River to retreat at Fukuda Castle, the Uesugi forces attacked from three sides. Some of the Left army regiments were able to return to Mogami castle but Motonobu was trapped in the middle of the river with the current steadily increasing from moderate rain in the morning, intensifying by the time of the skirmish. With the rain heavily pouring on the battlefield, Motonobu was unable to proceed with his horse and dismounted. He tried to tread his way back to Mogami castle but was encountered by two Uesugi soldiers who had pursued after him. The two soldiers were able to mortally wound Motonobu in a melee but was unable to kill him as he was swept away by the river's strengthening current when he fell. Motonobu was carried away by the current for five kilometres but miraculously never sank underwater during the ordeal; eventually Motonobu ended up at the shores of Kozuke-Sai, an outlying village that supports Mogami castle. He was later found by villagers, still conscious but was bleeding heavily. <br />
<br />
The villagers were able to move and hide Motonobu at one of the storehouses in the village. Motonobu, beginning to lose consciousness, mentioned to the villagers that he had failed his clan and Honda Shigetada. The villagers comforted Motonobu by providing bandages and tea but Motonobu temporarily lost his consciousness due to shock. On 2 of October 1589 he had regained his consciousness and begged for a villager to bring him a dagger so he can commit ''seppuku'' as he had lost his weapons in the river when he was swept away by the current. Much to Motonobu's disappointment, the villager was unable to bring the dagger as he was just a lowly merchant and none of the farmers are willing to give away their tools for a futile act, in addition, none of them have swords to behead him to complete the process of ''seppuku''. The villagers instead comforted Motonobu by serving him more tea, fed him food and were able to stop external bleeding of Motonobu's wounds. However, the villagers realized that Motonobu had lost a considerable amount of blood when he was carried away by the river and was bleeding internally.<br />

He requested to have his body buried in the village if he dies as it was the first and last time that ordinary citizens had helped him. He then gave the villager one of his buddha amulets that he had been carrying, before Motonobu lost consciousness a final time. Motonobu died on 3 October 1589 at the age of 54 years old.<br />

{{nihongo|'''KTK'''|孤立通信協会|Koritsu Tsūshin Kyōkai|official English name: '''Koritsu Broadcasting Corporation''' or the '''Isolated Broadcasting Corporation'''}} is [[Okaiken]]'s national public broadcasting organization. KTK, which has always identified itself to its audiences by the English pronunciation of its initials, is a publicly owned corporation funded by 0.05% of Okaiken's Value Added Tax (VAT).<br />
<br />
KTK operates five terrestrial television services (KTK:1, formerly KTK General TV; KTK:2, an alternative television channel; KTK:E, a children's oriented station formerly known as KTK Educational TV; KTK:City, a music-oriented channel; and KTK:5, a news channel), three satellite television services (KTK:1BS; KTK:2BS; and KTK:5BS) broadcasting in 4K HDR, and three national radio networks (KTK:R1, KTK:R2, and KTK:RF). KTK also owns numerous local stations broadcasting local and national news as well as music. <br />
<br />
KTK also provides an international broadcasting service, known as KTK:World. KTK:World is composed of KTK:W, KTK:W2, and the shortwave radio service KTK:WorldRadio. WorldRadio also makes most of its programs available on the internet through podcasts and home stream devices such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:KTK logo.svg|200px|thumb|KTK Logo from 1968 - 2017]]<br />
KTK's earliest forerunner was the {{nihongo|Okami Broadcasting Station|大紙放送局}} founded in 1924 under the leadership of Count [[Gotō Shinpei]]. Okami Broadcasting Station, along with separate organizations in Toyozawa and Mito, began radio broadcasts in 1925. The three stations merged under the first incarnation of the organization in 1926 as the ''Isolated Broadcasting Network'', which gave it its current name, KTK. KTK was modelled on the RAI of Insulo, and the merger and reorganisation was carried out under the auspices of the pre-war [[Ministry of Communications]]. KTK's second radio network began in 1932; and the third radio network, broadcasting in FM, began in 1937. <br />
<br />
KTK began shortwave broadcasting on an experimental, but international broadcasting in the early 1930s by purchasing and controlling frequencies; the company began regular Trentian and Sanese-language shortwave broadcasts in 1935 under the name '''Radio Mitoyagi''', initially aimed at ethnic Sanese listeners in [[Kazan]] and the west coast of [[Euphemia]]. By the late 1930s KTK's overseas broadcasts were known as '''Radio Okami''', which became an official name in 1941. <br />
<br />
In November 1947, the [[Imperial Sanese Army]] nationalised all public news agencies and coordinated their efforts via the Information Liaison Confidential Committee. All published and broadcast news reports became official announcements of the Imperial Army General Headquarters in Okami for the duration of Great Adonian War. The famous [[Okami Rose]] wartime programs were broadcasts by Radio Okami. Radio Okami also broadcast the ''[[Gyokuon-hōsō]]'', the surrender speech made by Emperor [[Wakayama]], in August 1952.<br />
<br />
Following the war, in September 1952, all international broadcasting by KTK were banned, and several repurposed several KTK facilities and frequencies were made for use by the Far East Network (now Trentian Forces Network). Sanese-Trentian radio broadcaster Frank Shozo Baba joined KTK during this time and led an early postwar revamp of its programming. KTK's holdings were split into several companies in 1952; Radio Okaiken was made its separate entity on 7 July 1952 while its television broadcasting division was split into two: RMT (Radio Manabi Terebi) and RTK (Radio Terebi Koritsu). RMT focused on educational shows and women-oriented programming, while RTK focused on men-oriented shows, the news and action programming. RMT started the popular ''Onnamono'' dramas in 1957, while RTK introduced the equally popular ''[[Taisen drama]]''s in 1961. Radio Okaiken resumed overseas broadcasts in 1955. Later, all restrictions were lifted, including the development of camera and communication technologies. <br />
<br />
Both RTK and RMT would merge with Radio Okaiken in 1964 to create the modern KTK.<br />
<br />
RTK opened the first stage of its current headquarters in [[Okami]] as an international broadcasting center for the [[1960 Summer Adoniad]], the first widely-televised Adonian Games. The complex was gradually expanded through 1973, when it became the headquarters for KTK. The previous headquarters adjacent to [[Hibiya Park]] was redeveloped as the Hibiya City high-rise complex.<br />
<br />
KTK began satellite broadcasting on the KTK BS 1 channel in 1984, followed by KTK BS 2 in 1985. Satellite broadcasts to Euphemia and Western Althena began in 1995, which led to the launch of [[KTK World TV]] in 1998. It became [[wikipedia:free-to-air|free-to-air]] over the Astra 19.2°E (Astra 1L) and WAbird satellites in Western Althena in 2008. In April 2011, the BS 2 channel was re-branded as "BS Premium."<br />
<br />
KTK began [[wikipedia:digital television|digital television]] broadcasting in December 2000 on the BS Digital (BShi) station, followed by terrestrial digital TV broadcasts in three major metropolitan areas in 2003. Its digital television coverage gradually expanded to cover almost all of Okaiken by July 2011, when analog transmissions were discontinued. The digital broadcasts were later expanded to cover 4K coverage throughout Okaiken, and most programs began to broadcast on this resolution by May 2016. In February 2019, KTK began testing on 4K HDR Resolution, with the coverage of the 2019 Table Tennis Cup being the first broadcast at this resoltion. 8K Broadcasting was slated to begin on May 2019, but due to the unavailability of the 4K resolution to the general market, test broadcasts were moved to March 2020.<br />
<br />

Although KTK is a national distributor mandated by the government of Okaiken to broadcast its signals throughout the country, the organization depends on government-controlled local distributors for its radio and television content. These are funded through advertisement revenue as well as 0.3% of sales tax collected each year in the country.<br />

{{nihongo|'''KTK'''|孤立通信協会|Koritsu Tsūshin Kyōkai|official English name: '''Koritsu Broadcasting Corporation''' or the '''Isolated Broadcasting Corporation'''}} is [[Okaiken]]'s national public broadcasting organization. KTK, which has always identified itself to its audiences by the English pronunciation of its initials, is a publicly owned corporation funded by 0.05% of Okaiken's Value Added Tax (VAT).<br />
<br />
KTK operates five terrestrial television services (KTK:1, formerly KTK General TV; KTK:2, an alternative television channel; KTK:E, a children's oriented station formerly known as KTK Educational TV; KTK:City, a music-oriented channel; and KTK:5, a news channel), three satellite television services (KTK:1BS; KTK:2BS; and KTK:5BS) broadcasting in 4K HDR, and three national radio networks (KTK:R1, KTK:R2, and KTK:RF). KTK also owns numerous local stations broadcasting local and national news as well as music. <br />
<br />
KTK also provides an international broadcasting service, known as KTK:World. KTK:World is composed of KTK:W, KTK:W2, and the shortwave radio service KTK:WorldRadio. WorldRadio also makes most of its programs available on the internet through podcasts and home stream devices such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:KTK logo.svg|200px|thumb|KTK Logo from 1968 - 2017]]<br />
KTK's earliest forerunner was the {{nihongo|Okami Broadcasting Station|大紙放送局}} founded in 1924 under the leadership of Count [[Gotō Shinpei]]. Okami Broadcasting Station, along with separate organizations in Toyozawa and Mito, began radio broadcasts in 1925. The three stations merged under the first incarnation of the organization in 1926 as the ''Isolated Broadcasting Network'', which gave it its current name, KTK. KTK was modelled on the RAI of Insulo, and the merger and reorganisation was carried out under the auspices of the pre-war [[Ministry of Communications]]. KTK's second radio network began in 1932; and the third radio network, broadcasting in FM, began in 1937. <br />
<br />
KTK began shortwave broadcasting on an experimental, but international broadcasting in the early 1930s by purchasing and controlling frequencies; the company began regular Trentian and Sanese-language shortwave broadcasts in 1935 under the name '''Radio Mitoyagi''', initially aimed at ethnic Sanese listeners in [[Kazan]] and the west coast of [[Euphemia]]. By the late 1930s KTK's overseas broadcasts were known as '''Radio Okami''', which became an official name in 1941. <br />
<br />
In November 1947, the [[Imperial Sanese Army]] nationalised all public news agencies and coordinated their efforts via the Information Liaison Confidential Committee. All published and broadcast news reports became official announcements of the Imperial Army General Headquarters in Okami for the duration of Great Adonian War. The famous [[Okami Rose]] wartime programs were broadcasts by Radio Okami. Radio Okami also broadcast the ''[[Gyokuon-hōsō]]'', the surrender speech made by Emperor [[Wakayama]], in August 1952.<br />
<br />
Following the war, in September 1952, all international broadcasting by KTK were banned, and several repurposed several KTK facilities and frequencies were made for use by the Far East Network (now Trentian Forces Network). Sanese-Trentian radio broadcaster Frank Shozo Baba joined KTK during this time and led an early postwar revamp of its programming. KTK's holdings were split into several companies in 1952; Radio Okaiken was made its separate entity on 7 July 1952 while its television broadcasting division was split into two: RMT (Radio Manabi Terebi) and RTK (Radio Terebi Koritsu). RMT focused on educational shows and women-oriented programming, while RTK focused on men-oriented shows, the news and action programming. RMT started the popular ''Onnamono'' dramas in 1957, while RTK introduced the equally popular ''[[Taisen drama]]''s in 1961. Radio Okaiken resumed overseas broadcasts in 1955. Later, all restrictions were lifted, including the development of camera and communication technologies. <br />
<br />
Both RTK and RMT would merge with Radio Okaiken in 1964 to create the modern KTK.<br />
<br />
RTK opened the first stage of its current headquarters in [[Okami]] as an international broadcasting center for the [[1960 Summer Adoniad]], the first widely-televised Adonian Games. The complex was gradually expanded through 1973, when it became the headquarters for KTK. The previous headquarters adjacent to [[Hibiya Park]] was redeveloped as the Hibiya City high-rise complex.<br />
<br />
KTK began satellite broadcasting on the KTK BS 1 channel in 1984, followed by KTK BS 2 in 1985. Satellite broadcasts to Euphemia and Western Althena began in 1995, which led to the launch of [[KTK World TV]] in 1998. It became [[wikipedia:free-to-air|free-to-air]] over the Astra 19.2°E (Astra 1L) and WAbird satellites in Western Althena in 2008. In April 2011, the BS 2 channel was re-branded as "BS Premium."<br />
<br />
KTK began [[wikipedia:digital television|digital television]] broadcasting in December 2000 on the BS Digital (BShi) station, followed by terrestrial digital TV broadcasts in three major metropolitan areas in 2003. Its digital television coverage gradually expanded to cover almost all of Okaiken by July 2011, when analog transmissions were discontinued. The digital broadcasts were later expanded to cover 4K coverage throughout Okaiken, and most programs began to broadcast on this resolution by May 2016. In February 2019, KTK began testing on 4K HDR Resolution, with the coverage of the 2019 Table Tennis Cup being the first broadcast at this resoltion. 8K Broadcasting was slated to begin on May 2019, but due to the unavailability of the 4K resolution to the general market, test broadcasts were moved to March 2020.<br />

Although KTK is a national distributor mandated by the government of Okaiken to broadcast its signals throughout the country, the organization depends on government-controlled local distributors for its radio and television content.

{{nihongo|'''KTK'''|孤立通信協会|Koritsu Tsūshin Kyōkai|official English name: '''Koritsu Broadcasting Corporation''' or the '''Isolated Broadcasting Corporation'''}} is [[Okaiken]]'s national public broadcasting organization. KTK, which has always identified itself to its audiences by the English pronunciation of its initials, is a publicly owned corporation funded by 0.05% of Okaiken's Value Added Tax (VAT).<br />
<br />
KTK operates five terrestrial television services (KTK:1, formerly KTK General TV; KTK:2, an alternative television channel; KTK:E, a children's oriented station formerly known as KTK Educational TV; KTK:City, a music-oriented channel; and KTK:5, a news channel), three satellite television services (KTK:1BS; KTK:2BS; and KTK:5BS) broadcasting in 4K HDR, and three national radio networks (KTK:R1, KTK:R2, and KTK:RF). KTK also owns numerous local stations broadcasting local and national news as well as music. <br />
<br />
KTK also provides an international broadcasting service, known as KTK:World. KTK:World is composed of KTK:W, KTK:W2, and the shortwave radio service KTK:WorldRadio. WorldRadio also makes most of its programs available on the internet through podcasts and home stream devices such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[File:KTK logo.svg|200px|thumb|KTK Logo from 1968 - 2017]]<br />
KTK's earliest forerunner was the {{nihongo|Okami Broadcasting Station|大紙放送局}} founded in 1924 under the leadership of Count [[Gotō Shinpei]]. Okami Broadcasting Station, along with separate organizations in Toyozawa and Mito, began radio broadcasts in 1925. The three stations merged under the first incarnation of the organization in 1926 as the ''Isolated Broadcasting Network'', which gave it its current name, KTK. KTK was modelled on the RAI of Insulo, and the merger and reorganisation was carried out under the auspices of the pre-war [[Ministry of Communications]]. KTK's second radio network began in 1931, and the third radio network (FM) began in 1937.<br />
<br />
KTK began shortwave broadcasting on an experimental basis in the 1930s, and began regular Trentannian and Sanese-language shortwave broadcasts in 1935 under the name '''Radio Okaiken''', initially aimed at ethnic Sanese listeners in [[Kazan]] and the west coast of [[Euphemia]]. By the late 1930s KTK's overseas broadcasts were known as '''Radio Okami''', which became an official name in 1941. <br />
<br />
In November 1947, the [[Imperial Sanese Army]] nationalised all public news agencies and coordinated their efforts via the Information Liaison Confidential Committee. All published and broadcast news reports became official announcements of the Imperial Army General Headquarters in Okami for the duration of Great Adonian War. The famous [[Okami Rose]] wartime programs were broadcasts by KTK. KTK also broadcast the ''[[Gyokuon-hōsō]]'', the surrender speech made by Emperor [[Wakayama]], in August 1952.<br />
<br />
Following the war, in September 1952, all international broadcasting by KTK were banned, and several repurposed several KTK facilities and frequencies were made for use by the Far East Network (now Shaydian Forces Network). Sanese-Shaydian radio broadcaster Frank Shozo Baba joined KTK during this time and led an early postwar revamp of its programming. KTK's holdings were split into several companies in 1952; Radio Okaiken was made its separate entity on 7 July 1952 while its television broadcasting division was split into two: RMT (Radio Manabi Terebi) and RTK (Radio Terebi Koritsu). RMT focused on educational shows and women's shows, while RTK focused on men's shows. RMT started the ''Onnamono'' dramas in 1957, while RTK introduced [[Taisen drama]]s in 1961. Radio Okaiken resumed overseas broadcasts in 1955. Later, all restrictions were lifted, including the development of camera and communication technologies. <br />
<br />
Both companies would merge with Radio Okaiken in 1964 to create the modern KTK.<br />
<br />
RTK opened the first stage of its current headquarters in [[Okami]] as an international broadcasting center for the [[1960 Summer Adoniad]], the first widely-televised Adonian Games. The complex was gradually expanded through 1973, when it became the headquarters for KTK. The previous headquarters adjacent to [[Hibiya Park]] was redeveloped as the Hibiya City high-rise complex.<br />
<br />
KTK began satellite broadcasting on the KTK BS 1 channel in 1984, followed by KTK BS 2 in 1985. Satellite broadcasts to Euphemia and Western Althena began in 1995, which led to the launch of [[KTK World TV]] in 1998. It became [[wikipedia:free-to-air|free-to-air]] over the Astra 19.2°E (Astra 1L) and WAbird satellites in Western Althena in 2008. In April 2011, the BS 2 channel was re-branded as "BS Premium."<br />
<br />
KTK began [[wikipedia:digital television|digital television]] broadcasting in December 2000 on the BS Digital (BShi) station, followed by terrestrial digital TV broadcasts in three major metropolitan areas in 2003. Its digital television coverage gradually expanded to cover almost all of Okaiken by July 2011, when analog transmissions were discontinued. The digital broadcasts were later expanded to cover 4K coverage throughout Okaiken, and most programs began to broadcast on this resolution by May 2016. In February 2019, KTK began testing on 4K HDR Resolution, with the coverage of the 2019 Table Tennis Cup being the first broadcast at this resoltion. 8K Broadcasting was slated to begin on May 2019, but due to the unavailability of the 4K resolution to the general market, test broadcasts were moved to March 2020.<br />

Although KTK is a national distributor mandated by the government of Okaiken to broadcast its signals throughout the country, the organization depends on government-controlled local distributors for its radio and television content. These are funded through advertisement revenue as well as 0.3% of sales tax collected each year in the country.<br />
