Date Masamune was one of the more interesting figures in Japan during a time when the first Europeans arrived and Christianity had been introduced to Japan for the first time.
Date Masamune was both tolerant of the new faith and also a seeker of foreign technology. He took part in the war with Korea, which Japan lost partly because of Korea's innovative Turtle Ship.
His name has echoed across the ages, appearing as the name of characters in swords in various Video Games.
