 Japan — This civilization has the Daimyo and Shogun units . Japanese villagers cannot gather food via herding or hunting , but can build shrines near huntable and herdable animals to gain a slow trickle of food , wood , or coin ( or experience once a certain shipment is sent from the Home City ) . The shrines also act as houses , supporting 10 population units . They have the unique ability to ship most cards twice . Their starting explorers are two Ikko @-@ Ikki archer monks that can be improved with extra attributes ( via shipment cards or upgrades at the Monastery ) . The monks start off with an ability called " Divine Strike " which can be used to finish off guardians or enemy units with less health . They also begin with a move that temporarily stuns treasure guardians . Japanese monks also have the ability to build shrines , which allows villagers to focus on gathering resources and building other structures . Their Home City is Edo and their leader Tokugawa Ieyasu .

 During a prolonged period of civil war in the 16th century , a class of politically powerful merchants had developed . These machishū allied themselves with the court and had power over local communities ; their patronange of the arts encouraged a revivial in the classical arts in the late 16th and early 17th centuries . In the early 17th century Tokugawa Ieyasu ( 1543 – 1616 ) unified the country and was appointed Shogun with supreme power over Japan . He consolidated his government in the village of Edo ( modern Tokyo ) , and required the territorial lords to assemble there in alternate years with their entourages . The demands of the growing capital drew many male labourers from the country , so that males came to make up nearly seventy percent of the population . The village grew during the Edo period ( 1603 – 1867 ) from a population of 1800 to over a million in the 19th century .

 The Japanese population were repatriated back to Japan after the war , but most people of mixed Japanese – Micronesian remained in the islands and constituted a substantial percentage in the islands ' population . They became assimilated with the Micronesians , and in all official census they are identified by their Micronesian heritage . In 2001 , the director of Japan 's Institute for Pacific Studies Izumi Kobayashi estimated that at least 23 % of FSM 's population was of Japanese ancestry . An official estimate in 2006 puts the number a little below 20 % .
