 Môri Terumoto
Terumoto was not the leader his grandfather had been, nor did he possess the charisma his father Takamoto was said to have had.
Terumoto displayed little enthusiasm for his new role and failed to grasp the reins of command, vacillating even as his chief commanders argued and Tokugawa called the 'eastern forces' to arms.
Terumoto, who had lost either control or influence of five provinces, went on to shave his head and became a monk, his career, it could be argued, shaken by a number of key errors in his judgement.
