Date Masamune (伊達 政宗, DAH-tay; September 5, 1567 – June 27, 1636) was a Japanese daimyō during the Azuchi–Momoyama period through the early Edo period. Heir to a long line of powerful feudal lords in the Tōhoku region, he went on to found the modern-day city of Sendai. An outstanding tactician, he was made all the more iconic for his missing eye, as Masamune was often called dokuganryū (独眼竜), or the "One-Eyed Dragon of Ōshū".[1] As a legendary warrior and leader, Masamune is a character in a number of Japanese period dramas.

  1. ^ This name is derived from the nickname of the ancient Chinese general Li Keyong (李克用), who was also one-eyed.[citation needed]
