# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born December 1, 1521, Takeda Shingen inherited a province with no coast and barely enough arable land to feed an army, much less fund one. He spent the Sengoku period — Japan's century of civil war — proving that tactical genius and relentless discipline could overcome geography. His military reputation rose to match Mōri Motonari, the era's other great strategic mind, and his name became shorthand for calculated ferocity. He died May 13, 1573, still in the field, still expanding, the tiger never caged.
