1. Asakura Norikage, also known as Asakura Sōteki (朝倉 宗滴), was the eighth son of Asakura Toshikage and a powerful figure during the early Sengoku Period of Feudal Japan. In 1506, he led the Asakura to victory against militant monks from Hongan-ji in battle at the Kuzuryu River, despite unfavorable numbers. In 1548, he became a priest and changed his name to Soteki; however, this did not keep him from engaging in war. He engaged in his last campaign at the age of 79 against Ikko adherents.
