Gamo Shi Kyo (Gakken M Bunko)

[Machine Translation] Ujisato Gamo was born in Hino, Omi, a small country, as the eldest son of the lord of a castle. 12 years old, he was taken hostage by Nobunaga Oda, but his intelligence and bravery were recognized, and he was given Nobunaga's daughter to marry. After Nobunaga's death, Ujisato followed Hideyoshi and showed himself to be a fierce general. Perhaps alarmed by his valor and skill in local battles, Hideyoshi ordered Ujisato to change his country twice, but he lived up to expectations each time and rose to become a feudal lord of 920,000 koku in Aizu, comparable to the Tokugawa, Maeda, and Date feudal lords. This is the life of a brave general who died at a young age while keeping his eyes on the world.
