Takahiro

Takahiro was a shogun of Wa who ruled around 1640 (1222 DR).

History
In the late 1630s, Takahiro forgave Eiji Toda, the young and inexperienced daimyo of Aru Province, for failing to stop the resurgent bandit attacks that devastated the pilgrim trains traveling to Aru. Then, in 1640 (1222 DR), a foreign raiding party (possibly from Shou Lung) made it to Aru's outskirts and razed part of the Eta District. This failure was too great and Takahiro removed Eiji from office.

Name
In Ninja Wars, he is named "Takahiro Nagahide", but it's clear the author misunderstood "Nagahide" as the family name of Matasuuri Nagahide, when it's actually his given name. Moreover, the Matasuuris took power in 1663 (1245 DR), after Takahiro's reign, so he is unlikely to be a Matasuuri either. Other possibilities are the Nitta clan of early shogun Nitta Shogoro and the Hidetomi clan said to be the shoguns of Wa in Oriental Adventures, page 137. With no further information, this article adopts only the given name "Takahiro".
