| abstract | - A fencer who wears western style armor and wields a western sword and a circular shield. Oyu of Odani is beautiful, but melancholy and her past is shrouded in mystery. She was historically the sister of the infamous Nobunaga. She did join in the fight against her overlord brother (as in the game), but with her husband Nagamasa Azai rather than Jubei, and later joined Hideyoshi Toyotomi when he rose to power. In the game, she is first seen by Jubei in the town of Imasho. Later, he finds her in the clutches of Tokichiro (the future Hideyoshi) and rescues her (however, her daughter Yodo will later go on to become his concubine and the mother of his heir). Nearly at the end, she is revealed as Nobunaga's sister and, in fact, joins the fight in order to secure her husband's territory. If certain conditions are met, Oyu becomes playable at one point in the game. She can then access places and obtain items that are exclusive to her character.
