Nobunaga was an influential figure in Japanese history and is regarded as one of the three great unifiers of Japan, along with his retainers Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Nobunaga was succeeded by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who along with Tokugawa Ieyasu completed his war of unification shortly afterwards. Nobunaga was killed in the HonnЕЌ-ji Incident in 1582, when his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide ambushed him in Kyoto and forced him to commit seppuku.

Nobunaga's rule was noted for innovative military tactics, fostering of free trade, reforms of Japan's civil government, and the start of the Momoyama historical art period, but also for the brutal suppression of those who refused to cooperate or yield to his demands.

He conquered most of Honshu island by 1580, and defeated the IkkЕЌ-ikki rebels in the 1580s. Nobunaga emerged as the most powerful daimyo, overthrowing the nominally ruling shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki and dissolving the Ashikaga Shogunate in 1573. Nobunaga was head of the very powerful Oda clan, and launched a war against other daimyos to unify Japan in the 1560s. His action in war gave him the nickname of 'Oni Daimyo' ( Demon King). He is regarded as the first 'Great Unifier' of Japan. Oda Nobunaga ( з№”з”° дїЎй•·, listen 23 June 1534 вЂ“ 21 June 1582) known as 'Owari no ЕЊutsuke' ( Fool of Owari), was a Japanese daimyo and one of the leading figures of the Sengoku period.
