Ukita Naoie (宇喜多 直家, 1529 – February 1, 1582) was a Japanese daimyō of the Sengoku period. He was born in Bizen Province, to Ukita Okiie, a local samurai leader and head of the Ukita clan.[1]
He has historical reputation as one of Japan's three ruthless figures (日本三大梟雄), a nickname which he shared with Matsunaga Hisahide and Saitō Dōsan, due to their ambitious and treasonous personality, along with the habit to resort into underhanded tactics and assassinations to eliminate the oppositions.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
