| rdfs:comment | - Amakusa Shōgo (birth name: Mutoh Shōgo) is loosely based on an actual historical figure. When Matsukura became daimyo of Shimabara (a region on the west coast of the island of Kyushu) in 1633, he raised taxes drastically and tortured those who could not or would not pay. This led to the Shimabara Tax Rebellion of 1637-1638. At first, it attacked the daimyo, then spread to nearby areas, including the island of Amakusa. There, they found a figurehead for the rebellion: a devout teenage Christian named Amakusa Shirō Tokisada, who was the basis for Shōgo. Eventually the shogun's troops trapped the rebels in a castle and laid siege to it for three months. Both sides suffered casualties before the siege ended, and Shirō Amakusa was among the dead.
