(Born '''Mori Nagasada''') was the son of Mori Yoshinari in the Mino region northeast of present day Nagoya . His older brother Mori Nagayoshi suppressed an insurrection at Ise Nagashima , and was awarded 200,000 koku for his success. (A koku is a unit of measure for rice, roughly equivalent to a one year supply for one man. The more koku a leader possesses, the more troops he is able to feed, and thus, the stronger his influence.) In addition, Nagayoshi accompanied Toyotomi Hideyoshi and participated in the Battle Of Nagakute , where he died while still in his youth. From an early age, Ranmaru was Oda Nobunaga 's attendant. Recognized for his talent and loyalty, he was appointed to a responsible post. At Oumi, he was given 500 koku, and after Takeda Katsuyori 's death, he was awarded the 50,000 koku at Iwamura Castle in Mino. While residing with Nobunaga at Honnō-ji Temple , Akechi Mitsuhide launched a fierce assault. Even though they fought resolutely, Ranmaru and his younger brothers perished defending Nobunaga. Ranmaru and Nobunaga's lord-vassal relationship followed the Shudo tradition, and was widely admired in Japan for its strength. SEE ALSO SOURCES |
