I suppose in general, I know the question was vague so sorry about that part. But I guess what I was trying to ask would be one historical figure that any Japanese would know and about similar to all American knowing about Washington and Lincoln, but again the question would still be vague so apologize for it.

Of course, the answer to your question depends on the individual. |
Well I suppose it does depends on individuals but I wanted to really ask the historical figure in Japan, that all would know even a child who is not familiar with history.
Also would Hideyoshi fit in that type of category?
