In name the Empire of

Japan is ruled by Emperor Go-Hanazono from Kyoto, the latest in a 2000 year line of emperors. In practice the government of the realm has been left to the Shogun, nominally the emperor's deputy in military matters. However, in 1444 the Shogunate is not what it once was. A number of

Ashikaga Shoguns have passed in quick succession over the last few years, due to accidents and assassinations. On multiple occasions raiders have proven that Kyoto is not safe, even for those tasked with keeping the peace in the entire realm.

Ever since the death of the last strong Ashikaga Shogun, Yoshimitsu, the more powerful clans of the realm have come to rival the Shogunate for power. The leading lords of such clans are known as Daimyo and have almost total power over their respective realms. Some, like the Hosokawa, Hatakeyama and Shiba are closely tied to the shogunate and have monopolized the office of Kanrei, formal deputy of the Shogun. Others, like the Yamana, Akamatsu, Isshiki and Kyogoku assert influence simply through their own wealth and influence.

At the turn of 1444 the Hatakeyama are one of the dominant forces in Central Japan. As a sub-branch of the Ashikaga they have been able to strongly influence the government in Kyoto during a lasting period of weak Shoguns. Influence that they have used to build a strong power base in rich provinces. The main rival of the Hatakeyama have often been the Hosokawa clan, with its great western domain and equally close ties to the Ashikaga.

Form Japan[edit]

As with all daimyo, Hatakeyama is eligible to form Japan.
