Mythology

“	Age -- 35 Homeland -- Izumi Village Occupation -- daimyō Harumoto, the daimyō of Yasuko and Tatsuro's home village, is an honorable man whose foremost concern is the protection of his people. A natural-born leader, he is beloved by those whom he governs. When danger arises, Harumoto enlists Yasuko's help and supports her throughout her quest. Over time, he rises from being the daimyō of a small village to becoming the unifier of all Japan.	”
—In-game help section

Notes

• Bakufu can be charged up when damaging buildings, but can activate only at the start of an attack against a unit. The player can attack buildings to fully charge the ability, then switch to an enemy target to spawn Samurai.

Trivia

• His model and description seems to based on Toyotomi Hideyoshi; his kabuto (helmet) with sun-like spikes is based on Hideyoshi's own kabuto which he wore when he conquered Kyushu, and the help section states that Harumoto would go on to unify all of Japan, which is something Hideyoshi accomplished.
• Harumoto seems to be named after Hosokawa Harumoto, a daimyō in the 16th century who ruled over southern Japan and whose domain included Izumi Province, which is referenced in the game. Also, Hosokawa is the last powerful kanrei of the Muromachi Shogunate.
