As some have pointed out, the Later Hojo did live on into the Edo period but this was only done through an adopted, off-shoot branch, so I chose not to include them here. The fall of Odawara and the deaths of Ujimasa and later his son Ujinao effectively ended the Later Hojo family as we know it.

Ah One of the most consistently successful clans of all of them in the history of Ancient Japan Both early and later Hojo clans irrespective of links to each other From the early Hojo clan being regents of the Minamoto Bakufu to the later Hojo established under Soun and 4 other successive Daimyo lords of Odawara in Sagami My favorite and most notable out of them all being Ujiyasu who is very underrated in my opinion as a Daimyo Yes he didn't seek out conquest of the country outside of Sagami but he did defend Odawara against Arguably two of the most formidable foes he could ever face Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin The Lion of Sagami is the most successful out of all them as well

@bkjeong4302 9 ай бұрын

Especially Siege of Kawagoe is an impressive feat. By the way when is famous ninja clans and mercenary clans? Like Hatori Hanzo, Fuma Kotoro and Saika Magoichi are famous figures as well.

He was not, as some older sources imply, some random ronin who popped out of nowhere.

@just_radical 2 жыл бұрын

@@TheDeisasori i think that given the obvious follow on is an Ieyasu/Hideyoshi focused game to tell 1582 to 1600 and that the scope of Hideyoshi's conquest requires most of the classic cast we will see a large number of them back. Ujiyasu himself was dead by this point but he's far more influential a figure than his descendants so I hope they keep him as a stand in for the entire Hojo family. Having played all of Nobunaga's route and the beginning of Mitsuhide's in 5 they went out of their way to make sure the classic battles of the 1550 to 1582 period were included even if nobunaga wasn't involved so I think KT largely knows that the audience expects in a given time period of the Era

Sadly he would die a year later of smallpox. However, somebody else would marry the widow and the Hojo clan (under new direction) was given its small plot of land
