[edit] In-game
In P2, the demon description clearly states that Dairoku Tenmaou is modeled after Oda Nobunaga, who once addressed himself this mythological title in Luis Frois' record. In P4, the new design of Rokutenmaou contains several implications with Oda Nobunaga, the gigantic moustache and the fire texture on his armor which might symbolize his death in the burning Honnou-ji. But these interpretations are not yet confirmed by Atlus.
