Japanese rōnin peasant Nakamura Yoshiro in Tokugawa Japan. He was once a Buddhist but converted to Catholicism after being introduced to it by Portuguese traders. He is tenacious, devoted to his family, prone to rage, and a quick fighter. He became involved in the Shimabara rebellion as a member of an alliance of peasant and rōnin Catholics because he was furious with the Tokugawa/Edo Shogunate for their harsh prohibition of Christianity and high taxes. He also has extreme paranoia.
