Just throwing this out:
If anyone happens to have a biographical question about 16th century samurai or samurai families, I've come up with quite a bit of new information from Japanese sources (Rekishi gunzo books and various other odds and ends) since the old forum. This includes some interesting info on the Takeda, Ii, Hojo, Uesugi, Mori, ect...
Just as examples - I had not known that Ii Naomasa's grandfather had been killed at Okehazama (fighting for Imagawa) and that Takeda Shingen's second son Nobuchika was blind - and that the son of Nobuchika was saved by Tokugawa Ieyasu when the Takeda fell in 1582.
