	Chosokabe Motochika
		Motochika was born at Oko Castle in the Nagaoka district of Tosa, the eldest son of Chosokabe Kunichika (1503-1560).
		Motochika was a quiet youth and his father was said to have fretted about the boy's gentle nature (he seems to have been nicknamed Himewakako, or 'Little Princess'); Kunichika's worries evaporated when Motochika later proved himself a skilled and brave warrior.
		In addition to his leadership, Motochika is remembered for his '100-Article Code of the Chosokabe' and his struggle to found an economically strong castle town, moving in the course of his career from Oko to Otazaka and on to Urado.

	The edo
		Chosokabe Motochika, recently the lord of Shikoku Island, Sasa Narimasa of Etchu, and the warrior-monks of Kii all sent promises of military aid, but this amounted to little in the event; a key local figure, Ikeda Nobuteru of Mino, wavered and finally came down on the side of Hideyoshi.
		Chosokabe Motochika, by now the master of that island, had in theory opposed Hideyoshi during the Komaki Campaign, though his only contribution was to defeat Sengoku Hidehisa, a Shikoku warrior allied with Hideyoshi.
		Motochika lost a favorite son in the battle and the reinforcements were forced to flee the area, allowing Shimazu to march into Funai in triumph.

	Kagawa Chikakazu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chikakazu was the second son of the famous Chosokabe Motochika and was adopted into the Kagawa clan during the year of 1581, succeeding the position of Kagawa Nobukage.

		It is thought that Motochika had him given to another house and not kept on as a possible heir due to his weak constitution.

	Which Samurai warlord are you? - The Guild (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		When I did it last time (some time ago, I might have changed since) I was Hojo Soun, not flashy enough for me. I was thinking Chosokabe Motochika (though he did rate rather high).
		Though this time my favourite Chosokabe ended up in 8th, Kenshin in 5th and horribly Date Masamune in 10th.
		I guess when I said that I wasn't a follower of Bushido that Kenshin was forever gone from the top.
