This daimyo whose real name was Takeda Harunobu, took on the Buddhist name Shingen in 1551, and changed his name to Takeda Shingen. Today he is widely known from the series of battles against Uesugi Kenshin in the fight for the Kanto plain (1553 - 1564). Known as Tiger of Kai because of his martial prowess on the battlefield. In addition to martial arts, he is also an intelligent and innovative in the military, economics, and even sanitation! He was the one who developed the cavalry to overcome the foot soldiers that were rife at that time. This strategy proved very effective, and the cavalry he formed later became known as the Takeda Kiba Gundan who was feared on the battlefield of Mikatagahara (1572). In addition, he also pioneered the use of lacquered red clothes for front-line troops in order to psychologically intimidate opposing troops, this tactic was later adopted by the Tokugawa shogunate soldiers. He developed the gold and rice tax system in Kai, abolished the penalty of boiling in cauldrons, built the wide embankment of Shingen Tsutsumi, and even developed the first water flush toilet of that era! Takeda Shingen was shot dead by enemy snipers on 13 May 1573.
