But as groups that actually existed in history? Maybe not.
For anyone that doesn't know history, here's a little briefing.
Daimyo - basically the Japanese version of a territorial and feudal lord with his own family clan, only seconded by the rank of shogun, who were practically military dictators that made emperors seem like weak pussies in general. In other words, kinda like the dukes, lords and barons etc. of medieval Europe that had their own patch of land, castles and private armies as well as a politically influential family.
As you see in the last picture, the 9 Japanese names there are basically the family names of the biggest daimyo clans that existed all the way till the mid-19th century.
But come on, SNSD compared with actual, ruthless (and badass to a degree) samurai or daimyo leaders and clans? Women weren't even allowed to be armored warriors carrying katanas or spears to fuck people up into human sushi to feed the maggots or take part in politics at all.
At least read your history correctly before finding 'similarities' between the two (which doesn't even make much sense anyway to begin with since it's ridiculous to find such between a K-idol and some guys that have been dead for hundreds of years and whose achievements and all that are probably exaggerated up to the point they seem like medieval-era Super Saiyans or some shit).
Cut down on the anime, man. Really. Unless you want some angry Yakuza claiming to be of samurai or daimyo descent to banzai you somewhere in the streets of Tokyo.
Note - this is the same person who made his own database of statistics of the Running Man cast a while back.
Thank you for reading article A SONE's imagination gone perhaps a bit too far?
