Chosokabe Motochika was the lord of Tosa Province, who extended his
domain to control all of Shikoku, albeit briefly. He was able to
defeat the rival Ichijo clan of Iyo, but unable to repel the 100,000
men that Toyotomi Hideyoshi brought to the shores of Shikoku.
***TEAHOUSE COMMENTARY: Our Chosokabe player has fared much better
than his namesake, controlling al of Shikoku, the majority of Kyushu,
and a fair stake of Honshu to boot. Asakura's grip of the imperial
throne in Kyoto is threatened by the encircling Chosokae forces.
Meanwhile, Mori dislodges the last remaining Shimazu fleet from Iwami
Coast. Oda disrupts the Uesugi/Hojo attack on Hida, but gains no
ground against Hojo. Uesugi fares better, being the first to reach
the Sea of Japan.
