When Yoshishige turned Christian, he took the name of ドン・フランシスコ Don Francisco.
During the wars in Kyushi, his retainers even destroyed Buddhist temples.

- quote
Ōtomo Sōrin (大友宗麟, January 31, 1530 – June 11, 1587),

also known as Fujiwara no Yoshishige (藤原義鎮) or Ōtomo Yoshishige (大友義鎮),
was a Japanese feudal lord (daimyō) of the Ōtomo clan, one of the few to have converted to Roman Catholicism (Christianity). The eldest son of Ōtomo Yoshiaki, he inherited the Funai Domain, on Kyūshū, Japan's southernmost main island, from his father.
He is perhaps most significant for having appealed to Toyotomi Hideyoshi to intervene in Kyūshū against the Shimazu clan, thus spurring Hideyoshi's Kyūshū Campaign of 1587.
