Daimyo

A Daimyo (大名, Daimyō; Literally meaning "Great Name") is the leader of a country or territory within a country. They often hold much power and will work with ninja villages or request shinobi services over time. A Daimyo themselves will usually have no ninja of their own aside a handful of body guards, and sometimes even those are ninja from a hidden village on hire.

Depending on the country, a Daimyo could be the leader, a mayor or a figure title that holds little power at all.
