Chōsokabe Kunichika

Chōsokabe Kunichika

Chōsokabe Kunichika (長宗我部 国親?, 1504 - July 8, 1560) was a powerful warlord in Tosa Province, Japan. He is the son of Chōsokabe Kanetsugu. His childhood name was Senyumaru (千熊丸).

His father was killed by the Motoyama clan in 1508. Therefore, Kunichika was raised by the aristocrat Ichijō Husaie in Tosa Province. Kunichika was reconciled with the Motoya clan and gathered strength. Kunichika won the Motoyama clan in 1560. However, Kunichika would die not long after, and was succeeded by his son, Chōsokabe Motochika. In Shogun 2, it is even said that Kunichika jumped off an imperial palace as a dare, and lived.
