Units in Japanese

Tsubute	Japanese:礫 Produced from: "Barrack". Requirements: none.
Yumi Ashigaru	Japanese:弓足軽 Produced from: "Barrack". Requirements: none. The archer is Japan's standard range infantry. His longbow provides great power to his shots, creating a rather cost effective unit.
Teppo Ashigaru	japanese:鉄砲足軽 Produced from: "Barrack". Requirements: "Arquebus" upgrade. The Japanese were rather smart, smart enough to know that gunpowder is far more powerful than puny arrows. But, to prevent such great power from entering into the hands of the enemy, gunpowder is only granted to leaders who have survived long enough to establish a nice foothold in enemy territory. This is the Arquebusier, a fearless man who wields a very powerful firearm. His bullets are better against infantry than buildings.
Catholic Musketeer	Produced from: "Seminario". Requirements: none.
Yumitori	Japanese:弓取り Produced from: "Dojo". Requirements: "Bushido" upgrade.
Shinobi	Japanese:忍 Produced from: "Barrack". Requirements: "Daimyo Yashiki" building. The Shinobi is the epitome of stealth and sabotage, able to sneak into the enemy's base and wreak absolute havoc. These mercenaries are able to kill silently with a dagger, or they can throw a knife at the cost of cover. Another weapon in their arsenal is a bomb that is good against buildings, but these bombs take a while to manufacture, so it will take time before they can use another. Lastly, Shinobi are highly knowledgable on the topic of stealth, so they are permantenly cloaked and can detect other stealth units.
Odutsu	Japanese:大筒(ôdutsu) Produced from: "Gunsmith". Requirements: "Odutsu" upgrade.
Cannon	Japanese:加農砲(Kanôhô) Produced from: "European Trader". Requirements: "Nanban Trade" upgrade.
