In this video we will look into the life of Chosokabe Motochika (長宗我部 元親) who was a samurai military commander during the Sengoku Jidai, Japan’s warring states period. He would be responsible for the initial unification of Shikoku, fighting against Oda Nobunaga before submitting to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
