		They are also in constant struggle with the Imagawa clan, who are far less blatant and may employ the stealthy Ninja and Shinobi more cheaply than the other families.
		Last but not least of the clans are the Shimazu, who have a well-defended starting landmass, as well as the sufficiently skilled swordsmen to defend it.

	Oda Nobunaga's War at Okehazama 1560 versus Imagawa Yoshimoto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Oda Nobunaga was right; Imagawa Yoshimoto deliberately leaked the highly exaggerated number of his soldiers out to scare the Oda clan, and the official chronicler of the Imagawas put it down as was usual in medieval battle records to exaggerate numbers.
		Tokugawa Ieyasu had been Imagawa Yoshimoto's hostage for a decade or so (click here for story and pictures), and this hostage thing was the only reason why he fought for the Imagawas.
		So, using the rest needed by his men as an internal excuse, he sent no reply to the Imagawas and waited there at Odaka until the war was over exactly the way Tokugawa had predicted (and to which Imagawa Yoshimoto had steadfastly refused to listen).
