Who is Ochiai Michihisa?
Ochiai Michihisa was a samurai retainer to the Takeda clan during Japan's Sengoku period. Fighting for the Takeda at the battle of Nagashino, he was moved by the bravery of Torii Suneemon, an opposing samurai who risked his life, escaping from the besieged castle to seek reinforcements from Tokugawa Ieyasu, only to be captured and crucified by the Takeda; from then on, Ochiai used an image of Torii Suneemon on the cross as his standard.
