It has been rumored by some that Shimazu Indreju is in fact a descendent of a past lover of Bishamon, a maid that he found too beautiful to resist. While the General may deny any relation, his mastery on the battle field would definitely do the justice to the rumors of being related to one of the God's of War. Having helped Shimazu Asaji in many previous battles, and gaining much honor in the defense of the Shimazu lands, he has asked for leave to remove the Imagawa from the remaining states they control on Kyushu. The unification of Kyushu under the flag of his Daimyo has been his goal for the last few years as his military sense has warned him of the upcoming stress on the people of Japan.

Indreju's real passion however isn't for battle, for he takes Sun Tzu's words to heart that a General first seeks victory and then seeks battle. For Shimazu Indreju, victory is a unified Japan and the tranquility of his famed gardens. The relatively small area that he calls home is one of the truly wonderful gardens to be found in Japan, perhaps only being paralleled by the Imperial Palace.
