The '''Takeda clan''' (秋山氏, ''Takeda-shi'') was a [[Japan]]ese [[samurai]] family that held power in the [[Wakasa|Wakasa Province]] during the [[Sengoku period]]. It collapsed in power in 1582 when [[Oda Nobunaga]] ultimately defeated the clan during his campaign.<ref name="WP">{{WP}}</ref>

==History==
===Conflict with the Oda clan===
Near the middle of the 15th century, the Takeda clan had held power in [[Wakasa]] and maintained political alliances with the [[Ashikaga shogunate]] up until the 16th century. It had continued its trade and cultural exchanges within [[Kyoto]].<ref name="DB1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Database: Wakasa]]</ref>

In 1568, the {{Wiki|Asakura clan}} conquered the province and placed the young head of the Takeda clan under their protection.<ref name="DB1"/> However, when [[Oda Nobunaga]] started his campaign to unify Japan, the Takeda clan opposed the new alliance between the [[Oda clan]] and the {{Wiki|Tokugawa clan}}.

In 1573, at the {{Wiki|Battle of Mikatagahara}}, [[Takeda Shingen]], leader of the clan, successfully won against Nobunaga and [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]]'s forces. With this progression, he pursued Ieyasu to [[Mikawa]], however he was soon slain by the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Hattori Hanzō]] and Ieyasu's general [[Honda Tadakatsu]].<ref name="ACM">''[[Assassin's Creed: Memories]]''</ref>

With Shingen's death, the clan fell into power. As a consequence, young [[samurai]] [[Takeda Motoaki]] suffered major losses, such as losing [[Nochiseyama Castle]]<ref name="Performer">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[The Performer]]</ref><ref name="WikiN">{{WP|Nochiseyama Castle}}</ref> and his partner to the battles against Nobunaga. As a result, he harbored resented towards the [[Niwa clan]], especially its leader [[Niwa Nagahide]], one of Nobunaga's generals, who was gifted Wakasa as a reward for his loyalty.<ref name="Performer"/>

In 1575, Nobunaga and Ieyasu defeated the clan easily during the {{Wiki|Battle of Nagashino}}, leading the Takeda clan to fall further in power.<ref name="DB2">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Database: Oda Nobunaga]]</ref> Within four years, [[Omaki]], {{Wiki|Takeda Yoshimune}}'s daughter and [[Akechi Mitsuhide]]'s mother, was killed in a hostage situation as a response after Nobunaga killed {{Wiki|Hatano Hideharu}} at [[Yakami Fort|Yakami Castle]]. This led to Mitsuhide to hold Nobunaga personally responsible for her death.<ref name="DB3">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Database: Tamba]]</ref>

===Alliance with the Shinbakufu===
With the desire to resurrect his clan's power and to avenge his family, Motoaki joined the [[Shinbakufu]], a secret collective led by deposed ''[[Shōgun]]'' [[Ashikaga Yoshimitsu]], in order to eliminate the Niwa clan and retake Nochiseyama.<ref name="Performer"/>

In September 1581, during the [[Tenshō Iga War|invasion]] of [[Iga]], Motokai joined his fellow Shinbakufu in search of the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|Imperial Regalia]]. Ultimately, they recovered the box holding the {{Wiki|Magatama|Jewel}} while killing the remaining [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']] member [[Fujibayashi Nagato]] and his daughter [[Fujibayashi Naoe]]. While the Shinbakufu left them to die, Naoe survived her wounds and vowed her revenge for the death of her father.<ref name="The Onyro Samurai">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[The Onryo Samurai]]</ref>

In 1582, despite their alliance with the {{Wiki|Mōri clan}}, the Takeda clan suffered even more losses and was ultimately annilihated at the {{Wiki|Battle of Tenmokuzan}}.<ref name="DB4">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Database: Mori Ranmaru]]</ref> In late June, after Nobunaga committed [[Seppuku|suicide]] during the [[Honnō-ji incident]],<ref name="Temple of the Horseman">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Temple of the Horseman]]</ref> Motoaki enacted his plan against the Niwa clan.

However, one night, Motoaki played his tune towards Nochiseyama before being interrupted by Naoe,<ref name="Performer"/> who figured out the tune with the help of his mentor [[Shido]].<ref name="The Music">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[The Music]]</ref> Without regret, Motoaki admitted that he wanted justice for what he had lost before challenging Naoe to a duel. However, Motoaki was fatally wounded and asked Naoe to take his biwa to Shido before succumbing to his wounds. With his demise, the Niwa clan was left alone and one more Shinbakufu member fell to the Kakushiba ''ikki''.<ref name="Performer"/>
