In 1494 and 1529, Catholic Spain and Portugal signed agreements that split land in the New World between them. Concerned about a potential invasion from Catholic Spain, England, a Protestant nation, allied with the Dutch, who shared the same faith, in a conflict against the Spanish Empire. Together, they dispatched a fleet of five ships to challenge Spain and Portugal's control over trade in Asia. The story of "Shogun" commences with the arrival of the Erasmus, the lone surviving vessel from the fleet, in feudal Japan in 1600. The crew of the Erasmus, led by British navigator John Blackthorne, were the initial Dutch and English sailors to reach Japan. Despite the language barrier, Blackthorne (later known as Anjin) was able to communicate in Portuguese and Latin. The formidable warlord Yoshii Toranaga met his match in Nakamura, the future Taik. Toranaga eventually joined forces with Nakamura, aiding in the unification of Japan and the cessation of years of civil conflict. As the Taiko lay on his deathbed, he appointed Toranaga to the Council of Regents, charged with ruling until his heir reached maturity. While initially loyal to the Council, Toranaga found himself at odds with the other members, who viewed his influence as a threat. The Erasmus arrived in Japanese waters during a critical moment for Toranaga, offering him a chance to leverage the crew's hidden knowledge. Following a tragic event, Mariko, the esteemed wife of one of Toranaga's top vassals, embraced Catholicism and became proficient in Portuguese and Latin. Toranaga instructed Mariko to act as a translator for Blackthorne, leading to a deep bond between the two. Their destinies intertwined as they navigated a perilous political landscape, embroiled in a power struggle between influential daimyos.
