Mouri Motonari

= Profile = Motonari is the leader of the Mouri House. He was cursed by a youkai named Daidaara which halved his lifespan but as a side-effect transformed his body into super large size. While most human beings would not be able to withstand the curse and would just die, Motonari lived with it and in fact enjoys the side effect which made him a formidable fighter on the battlefield.

Canonically, Rance lifted his curse by defeating Daidaara and made him a general in Oda's army, though he soon died due to his shortened lifespan. However, his love of battle proved so strong that his spirit continued to walk the earth.

He currently excitedly waits his daughter Mouri Teru's child to be born.

= Trivia = For historical reference, see Mouri Motonari.

The youkai 'Daidaara' which he was cursed by, is believed to be a reference to Daidarabotchi, a gigantic yōkai in Japanese mythology, whose size was so great that his footprints were said to have created innumerable lakes and ponds.

He was 100 years old at the time of his death, meaning his natural lifespan was 200 years.
