| As it become the Sengoku Period, when daimyo established the commanding positions and classes in their military organizations such as the Samurai daisho (commander of warriors) or Ashigaru taisho (general in command of a troop of food soldiers), the military commander in charge of these positions was referred to as a Sodaisho. |
戦国時代になると戦国大名は自家の軍制において侍大将、足軽大将などの職制及び階層を定めたため、それらを率いる武将の地位を総大将と称した。 |
