The Daimyo
The Daimyo was a warlord just like the shogun, but would fight a lot more battles. The daimyo's job was to keep justice and peace in the towns of a province and to serve the shogun. There would be many daimyo' through out Japan. The daimyo would usually lead an army into battle, but if the daimyo was not much of a warrior or was scared of the enemy he would stay back and ask a general to do his job and lead the army into battle. The daimyo from different provinces and clans would always fight to get more land and armies, to try and get the role of "shogun". A lot of the time the Daimyo would die before they make it to Shogun.
