# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Akechi Mitsuhide started as a bodyguard to the last Ashikaga shōgun, then rose to become one of Oda Nobunaga's most trusted generals during the warlord's drive to unify Japan. On June 21, 1582, he staged the Honnō-ji Incident, surrounding Nobunaga's undefended quarters in Kyoto and forcing him to commit seppuku — the motives remain unknown. Mitsuhide tried to claim the title of shōgun, but Nobunaga's successor Toyotomi Hideyoshi moved fast, crushing him at the Battle of Yamazaki thirteen days after the coup. That span gave Japan the phrase mikkatenka: a reign that lasts three days. Kyoto held a ceremony in his honor in 2018.
