Before the SHOGUN: Discover the Man Who Built an Era – “NOBUNAGA, DEMON KING”

Introduction If you were captivated by the intricate world of James Clavell’s SHOGUN, you’ve met Yoshii Toranaga—the man based on the legendary Tokugawa Ieyasu. But history has a deeper, darker, and more revolutionary prelude. Before the peace of the Edo period, there was the storm of the Sengoku era, and at its center stood one man: Oda Nobunaga.

Known to history as the “Demon King of the Sixth Heaven,” Nobunaga was the visionary warlord who shattered the old world to pave the way for a unified Japan.

The Saga of a Legendary Outsider The epic historical saga “NOBUNAGA, DEMON KING” (Volumes 1 & 2) by Yasubei Kera explores the life of this iconic figure through a startling new lens. This is not just a tale of samurai warfare; it is a deep dive into the psychological and spiritual landscape of 16th-century Japan.

  • Volume 1: The Making of a Legend Journey back to the early years of “Kippōshi,” the boy who would become Nobunaga. Labeled the “Fool of Owari” for his eccentric behavior, young Nobunaga had to navigate a treacherous world of clan rivalries and political betrayals. Witness his unorthodox rise, from his early education in strategy to the desperate gamble of the Battle of Okehazama.
  • Volume 2: The Divine Madness As Nobunaga reaches the zenith of his power, the narrative shifts toward his quest for transcendence. He does not merely seek the title of Shogun; he seeks to become a “Guardian God”. From the construction of the celestial Azuchi Castle to the intrigue surrounding the African samurai Yasuke and the ultimate betrayal at Honno-ji, Volume 2 unveils a “Startling Hypothesis” about Nobunaga’s true identity—a secret history never dared to whisper.
