This was said as Oda Nobunaga's portrait by a French fan site. It might have been intended to be one, based on the wooden statue at Gifu museum that doesn't resemble Oda Nobunaga at all (see the statue at another page).

A 'modern' Oda Nobunaga in a drawing posted at a fan site in 2003. This must have been drawn according to the character design of the anime series Hunter X Hunter.

The Mayor of the city of Nagoya with a cosplayer dressed as Oda Nobunaga in front of the decorated car bearing Toyotomi Hideyoshi's armor in the annual 'flower festival' of Nagoya in 2004.

Another 'modern' Oda Nobunaga according to an anime fan in 1999. Why with glasses?

Another fan drawing of Oda Nobunaga.

Same as the above.

Drawn by a fan in.....underwear? Nobody wore just plain white robes in any occasion expet out of the bath.
