# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Oda Nobunaga rose from head of a powerful clan to Japan's dominant daimyō during the Sengoku period, overthrowing shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki in 1573 and dismantling the shogunate itself. Through military campaigns beginning in the 1560s, he conquered most of Honshu by 1580, defeating rival warlords and crushing the Ikkō-ikki resistance. His rule brought innovative tactics, free trade reforms, and a flowering of art, but also brutal suppression of anyone who refused to yield. On 21 June 1582, his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide ambushed him at Honnō-ji temple in Kyoto; cornered, Nobunaga committed seppuku. His retainers Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu finished the work he began, completing the unification he died one day short of his forty-eighth birthday trying to force into being.
