Here I shall discharge a warrior's duty to the full.
Attributed to Yoshihiro Muneyuki
A valiant commander in Ōtomo service with close ties to Tachibana Muneshige. After the Ōtomo were dispossessed he became a wanderer, but when his old lord Ōtomo Yoshimune rose at the time of Sekigahara he rallied to the revival of the house, knowing the odds were poor. At the battle of Ishigakibaru he led the charge into Kuroda Josui's army and fought so hard that he pushed it back for a time. But overwhelmed by numbers, he was killed in the fight for Mount Jissō-ji. An end that combined loyalty and valour, and one that even his enemy Josui is said to have mourned.
