Mori Ranmaru
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mori Ranmaru (森蘭丸?), born Mori Nagasada (森長定), was the son of Mori Yoshinari, and the younger brother of Mori Nagayoshi, from the province of Mino.
From an early age, Mori was an attendant to Oda Nobunaga. 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. Mori and his younger brothers perished defending Oda during the Incident at Honnōji.
Oda and Mori's lord-vassal relationship followed the shudo tradition, and was widely admired in Japan for its strength.
In fictional works featuring him, Mori is often depicted as having an extremely feminine outlook.
