-	'''Shingen Takeda''' is the nineteenth head of the [[Takeda]] clan and influential leader of his region, Kai Province. During his conquests in the eastern regions of Japan, he clashed with several prominent historical figures. After his death, Shingen has been romanticized as a masterful strategist and a thorough study of [[Wikipedia:Sun_Tzu\|Sun Tzu]], even going as far to adopt the [[Wikipedia:Fūrinkazan\|Fūrinkazan]] as his banner. Folklore has him act as [[Kenshin Uesugi\|Kenshin's]] rival and his [[Sun Shangxiang#Character Symbolism\|polar opposite]], thus leading to his nickname the Tiger of Kai. His son and successor is [[Katsuyori Takeda\|Katsuyori]].	+	'''Shingen Takeda''' is the nineteenth head of the [[Takeda]] clan and influential leader of his region, Kai Province.

	Shingen debuted as a ''Warriors'' character in ''[[Samurai Warriors]]''. In the first ''Samurai Warriors'', he is 45 years old. His height in [[Samurai Warriors (series)\|the series]] is 180 cm (close to 5'11"). Fans voted him to thirty-eighth place out of forty characters in Gamecity's ''[http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/sengoku3/emp/enquete/ Samurai Warriors 3: Empires]'' character popularity poll.

-	Fūrinkazan is a four character phrase that references lines found within Sun Tzu's ''Art of War''. A rough translation of the version Shingen is said to place on his war standards is: "Move as swift as the wind, become as silent as the forest, invade and plunder as fire, immovable as the mountain". ''Art of War'' notes two other references attached to the mountain allusion, noting shadows for hiding and a clap of thunder. The phrase is used as an idiom for advancing and retreating troops. Troops should be as quick as possible when they advance; if they are needed to wait, they should be weary and remain quiet as possible. When first attacking, the troops should be fierce as possible. If the situation turns and retreat is needed, the troops should take cover and take a solid defensive position. When directing the counteroffensive, the movement must be sudden and unpredictable.	+	[[Wikipedia:Fūrinkazan\|Fūrinkazan]] is a four character phrase that references lines found within Sun Tzu's ''Art of War''.

	Historically, Shingen is not the first general in Japan to use Fūrinkazan since Kitabatake Akiie in the Nanbokuchō period did the same. The idea of attaching Shingen with Fūrinkazan is largely believed to be a popular tale from the Edo Period, believed to have began based on the accounts of Kitabatake in ''[[Wikipedia:Jinnō Shōtōki\|Jinnō Shōtōki]]'' and ''gunki-monogatari'' mentioning him. The heroic Kitabatake allegedly shares traits with the heroic image of Shingen and a parallel years later was made between them. Shingen's war banners were fashioned in respect to Kitabatake and not due to his alleged interest with Sun Tzu's ''Art of War''. Fūrinkazan became a popular affiliation for Shingen in fiction as a result; there isn't much historical evidence to suggest that he actually used it as a banner for his troops. The insignia forms the namesake for his third, Normal, Power, and Speed weapons in the ''Samurai Warriors'' series. His Normal types perform the idiom in sequence, his Power versions strive to devastate, and his Speed types aim for haste.

-	There are several different interpretations of Shuten-dōji in folklore. His origins circulate between Echigo, Yamato, or Tamba Provinces - roughly around central Japan- but even extend to the far western Kyushu island. Each version of his figure features different traits dedicated to his name, though one trait that is relatively consistent between them is his love for liquor. This is due to his name commonly being written with the characters "liquor" within it, his name literally translating to "Liquor Child". Alternatively the ''shuten'' in his name has been interpreted as "abandoned", meaning he was raised as an orphan.	+	There are several different interpretations of Shuten-dōji in folklore.

	Due to various Heian Period folklore, he is best known as a malevolent, arrogant demon who possesses ferocious strength. Earlier records suggests that he was previously known as a peaceful deity who loved residing quietly within mountain terrain. Masaaki Takahashi, a Japanese historian and professor at Kobe University, wrote a book regarding the various interpretations on Shuten-dōji. He equated the spirit to be similar to China's [[Sun Wukong]]: not altogether evil; rather, he is a mischievous spirit with a tragic past and beaming optimism.

	The Yamato legends instead state that the child had an intense hunger for dead corpses and secretly ate them at night after his temple studies. His hunger eventually led to his lust for living flesh, and any type of meat he could obtain. The monk overseeing his lessons soon learned of his disciple's eating habits. Angered by the child's behavior, he chased the boy into the mountains and refused to take him back to the shrine. As the boy continued his carnivorous and sometimes cannibalistic habits, he became a Shuten-dōji.

-	Heian Period tales may also suggest that Shuten-dōji was not born in this world. Instead, he is a demon born from [[Kanbei Kuroda#Character Symbolism\|Yomi-no-Kuni]] -or a realm similar to it- who crossed Ichijo-modori Bridge, a place fabled for being the bridge to the living and the afterlife. A human happened to walk across it and triggered Shuten-dōji's arrival into the world.

A human happened to walk across it and triggered Shuten-dōji's arrival into the world. Again, the stories suggest that a human, who crossed another gateway between worlds, entered the afterlife and became Shuten-dōji.

	It's because of his presumed demonic origins in [[Kyoto]] that he is sometimes thought to be linked with resident demon, Ibaraki-dōji (茨木童子). Either the demons were friends with one another due to having similar reasonings for their transformation, or that Ibaraki-dōji served Shuten-dōji as one of his loyal minions. Stories even suggest that they were lovers or trusted partners-in-crime, portraying Shuten-dōji as the female of the pair.

	Approaching Shuten-dōji as though he were a friend, Raikō brought with him the heavenly wine, a sword, and a helmet. Once Shuten-dōji was inflated with false words of praise and submission, the samurai poured them a drink. When Shuten-dōji hesitated to accept, weary of being deceived, Raikō drank his portion and cheerfully praised the tonic's taste. Relieved and curious, Shuten-dōji drank his portion and felt his powers drain shortly after. While he was still under the wine's effects, Raikō unsheathed his sword and stood beside the demon's seat. Though Shuten-dōji knew his end was near, he confessed to have held no hatred or anger for Raikō's actions. Calmly accepting his fate, he was then beheaded by Raikō. The sword which decapitated him was later known under a simple name: [[Edit Characters (Samurai Warriors)#Character Symbolism\|Dōjikiri or Dōjigiri (童子切)]].

-	In the other versions of his beheading, Shuten-dōji remained a demon at the time of his death. Raikō wanted to bring the demon's head back to the capital as a trophy, but his retainers advised against bringing something so defiled and unlucky within their domain. They then decided to bury it with Shuten-dōji's body. Shuten-dōji is also said to have regretted losing his head, and his spirit remained in the mortal realm as a beneficial deity who desired to heal people suffering ailments around their neck or head.	+	In the other versions of his beheading, Shuten-dōji remained a demon at the time of his death.

Another interpretation of the beheading cites that Shuten-dōji tried to devour Raikō but was only successful on clamping his jaws onto the youth's helmet. Raikō used this moment of weakness to behead the demon.

Seeing the tides turn against him, Lu Bu requested reinforcements from Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's trust in Lu Bu had wilted as he was reminded of the lord's past betrayals. Lu Bu tried to offer his daughter once more to strengthen his ties with Yuan Shu, but the carriage was refused. At his wit's end, Lu Bu listened to his wife and ignored Chen Gong and Gao Shun's advice thenceforth. The sieges of Xiapi continued endlessly between the armies.

	Three months later, Lu Bu's troops were riddled with anxiety and impoverished by hunger. Cao Cao planned a water attack with Xun Yu and [[Guo Jia]] by using the two rivers, Yishui and Sishui. He initiated the attack in winter when the morale of Lu Bu's troops were at their lowest. The water attack was the breaking point for [[Hou Cheng]], [[Song Xian]], and [[Wei Xu]]. They captured Chen Gong, Gao Shun, and Red Hare and surrendered to Cao Cao. Lu Bu tried to rouse his remaining men to keep resisting the coalition against them and threatened to kill them if they surrendered to Cao Cao. When he saw that his troops were unwilling to listen to him, Lu Bu surrendered.		Three months later, Lu Bu's troops were riddled with anxiety and impoverished by hunger.
