Mitsuhide Akechi

Mitsuhide Akechi (明智 光秀) is a daimyo who serves Nobunaga Oda. He usually compared to Zhou Tai due to their similar fighting style. He is Garasha's father and mentions of his wife can be found in conversations for Empires. He is best known in history for betraying Nobunaga at Honnoji. However, the reasons behind his betrayal are ambiguous and are still debated amongst historians. In the first game, he's 25 years old.

Designers for the game made him the "lone wolf" samurai to fit the nature of his unexpected betrayal. His fighting style was made to be one of the defining traits for his character. These ideas carried into his redesign, but they also wanted to add a touch of inexperience to his character through his new story scenario.
