Nobunaga Oda was a powerful daimyo during the Sengoku period of Japan who united much of the country under his rule. Some key events of his career included instituting economic reforms that promoted free trade, breaking the power of the Takeda clan at the Battle of Nagashino using innovative gun strategies, and winning a decisive victory over the Imagawa clan at the Battle of Okehazama through a surprise attack on their camp. Ultimately, Nobunaga had a ambition to conquer all of Japan which he conveyed through his personal seal reading "Tenka Fubu", meaning "Spread militarism over the whole land".
