Military life
editTakeda Nobushige held the favor of their father, Takeda Nobutora, thendaimyoof Takeda clan, and was meant to inherit the Takeda lands, wealth and power, becoming head of the clan. However, Shingen rebelled against their father and seized the lands and power for himself.[3]
Nobushige nevertheless fought alongside his brother who relied on him for support, He is famous not only for his strategic insight but also his wisdom; he wrote among other thingsKyūjūkyū Kakun,a set of 99 short rules or disciplines forTakeda clanmembers, some of which are erroneously attributed to Shingen himself from time to time.
Personal life
editTakeda Nobushige held the favor of their father, and was meant to inherit the Takeda lands, wealth and power, becoming head of the clan. However, Shingen rebelled against their father and seized the lands and power for himself.[3]
He is also known as Takeda Tenkyū (Tenkyū being another rank he held).[4]Nobushige became an important Takeda general and led large forces on several occasions. In 1544, Shingen had a rebellion on his hands. As part of his punitive effort, he sent Nobushige to capture Fujisawa Yorichika's Kōjinyama castle. (He probably succeeded, though sources differ). Katsurao castle, main castle ofMurakami Yoshikiyo,fell to Nobushige andTakeda Yoshinobuin 1553. This drove Yoshikiyo to fleet toUesugi Kenshinand was really the last significant act before the start of theKawanakajimacampaigns proper. It was in 4th battle of Kawanakajima, this last battle that Takeda Nobushige gave up his life.[5]
Sanada Yukimura's initial name was, in fact, Sanada Nobushige, named after this very person.[6]
In popular culture
editNoritoshi Kashima portrayed Nobushige inNHK's 2006Taiga drama.
