Description
Reincarnated as a chipmunk after his historical demise, Lis (formerly Akechi Mitsuhide) possesses light orange fur covering his back and tail, contrasted by a white underbelly and white fur encircling his mouth. Symmetrical patterns define his coat. His head features three vertical brown lines, with curved brown areas slanting diagonally around large, almond-shaped eyes. Three long whiskers extend from either side of his face, and his tail curves distinctively at the top, resembling a squirrel's more than a typical chipmunk's.
In his past life as a samurai general serving Oda Nobunaga, he objected to Nobunaga's nefarious schemes, shedding tears while refusing orders. Despite friction, he once gifted Nobunaga a cape and shared a joke when Nobunaga suggested regifting it to Uesugi Kenshin, showing he was unbothered by the rejection. Following his betrayal at Honnō-ji—which caused Nobunaga's death—and his own subsequent demise, he retains his memories upon reincarnation.
Living under the care of Hideto Mitsu, a veterinary student bearing a striking resemblance to Mitsuhide's human form, the chipmunk is drawn to Mitsu partly by this likeness and partly by their shared love of milk. Lis actively avoids recognition, especially by the reincarnated Nobunaga (now a Shiba Inu named Cinnamon), fearing lingering resentment over the betrayal.
Anxiety plagues him due to the historical misconception that he masterminded the Honnō-ji Incident. It is later revealed rebels used his bellflower crest, though Mitsuhide himself was not involved in the rebellion that killed Nobunaga. This truth intensifies his dread of being misjudged by Cinnamon. In Episode 3, he explicitly breaks the fourth wall to request his identity remain concealed.
His cautious interactions with other reincarnated warlords—now various dog breeds—reflect his efforts to navigate modern life while hiding his past. His storyline centers on reconciling his historical legacy with his current existence, marked by tension between his desire for anonymity and his inescapable connection to Nobunaga.
