《Shōgun Season 1‎》This historical work takes us back to Japan in 1600 AD.It was an era full of change and turmoil. Toyotomi Hideyoshi passed away not long ago, and his successor was still young. Therefore, five powerful ministers were entrusted to assist the young master in a collegial system until he came of age.These five powerful officials were called the "Five Elders" by later generations. They each supported their own troops, had their own thoughts, and checked each other, but they were also full of life-and-death competition.

However, when editor Yui observed this work, he found that the "Five Elders" in the play were greatly adapted from historical facts.Except for Yoshii Toranaga (who corresponds to Tokugawa Ieyasu in the play), the other four are at odds with historical records.This kind of adaptation not only reflects the unique perspective of the creator, but also brings us a new historical interpretation.

Interestingly, in the play, the leader of the Western Army, Ishido Kazunari (Ishida Mitsunari), and his friend Ohno (Ohtani Yoshitsugi) are both included in the ranks of the "Five Elders".These two were influential figures in history. The disputes and confrontations between them and Tokugawa Ieyasu left a wealth of material for Japanese history.In the play, what identities and positions they will appear in, and how they will compete with the other "Five Elders" will undoubtedly bring great expectations to the audience.

In addition, it is speculated that Oyama, another Catholic daimyo in the play, may be based on Yukinaga Konishi.Yukinaga Konishi is a famous Catholic believer in history. His faith and identity have brought him a unique perspective and stance.In 《Shōgun Season 1‎》, how the character Oyama will show his beliefs and stance, and how he will interact with the other "Five Elders" will undoubtedly add more highlights to this work.
