    First of all, I've not psychic powers! I'm just open minded enough to receive the messages coming from the Gods, the fact that I'm not able to interpret them, it's due to the limits of my old brain!

    Similar style due to the time period being quite close, though it's not Tokugawa Ieyasu

    Hint #2:

    Andreas Kohl? I have only seen older pictures of him, and they don't look too much like him, but that picture would have been when he was much younger, so perhaps?
