Oda Nobukatsu (織田 信雄, 1558 – 1630), also known as Kitabatake Tomotoyo (北畠 具豊),[1] was a Japanese samurai. The second son of Oda Nobunaga, he was adopted into the Kitabatake clan of Ise Province. Nobunaga later had key Kitabatake clan members assassinated to clear the way for Nobukatsu to rise in the hierarchy, essentially taking over the clan from within.[2]
Biography[edit | edit source]
Early life[edit | edit source]
The second son of Oda Nobunaga, Nobukatsu was born in 1558 and was adopted by Tomofusa, the head of the Kitabatake clan who controlled Ise Province, taking the name Kitabatake Nobuo. In 1575, he succeeded his adoptive father as head of the clan.[3]
Invasion of Iga[edit | edit source]
Wishing to establish his reputation, Nobukatsu decided to invade the neighboring province of Iga without his father's permission. In 1578, taking the Iga ikki's expulsion of their military governor as an excuse, he dispatched General Takigawa Kazumasu to build a castle for them to use as a staging point for the invasion, though Kazumasu and his men were forced to retreat in November of that year.[2]
In October 1579, Nobukatsu opted for a larger invasion, gathering over 10,000 men and entering Iga in a three-pronged attack: 8,000 from the north, and a group of 1,500 and 1,300 from the south.[2] Once again, however, the Iga forces used guerrilla tactics and inflicted heavy losses against Nobukatsu's army, forcing a retreat.[4] Upon learning of his son's humiliating defeat, Nobunaga threatened to disown him, though did not follow through with it.[2]
In late 1581, following a shinobi attack at Azuchi Castle, Nobukatsu attended a war council which his father presided over. As Nobunaga boasted of their past victories over the Ikkō-ikki monks in the Ishiyama Hongan-ji War and the Bessho clan, his general Tokugawa Ieyasu asserted that Iga still remained a problem. Nobukatsu insisted that the Igans had suffered heavy losses against his army, only for Ieyasu to point out that the enemy had routed his forces and were currently rallying support. Nobukatsu bowed his head in shame as his father rebuked him for trying to prove himself and provoking the Igans, whom he otherwise would have left alone. As Ieyasu, Hashiba Hideyoshi, and Akechi Mitsuhide gave their advice for an attack, Nobukatsu attempted to give his own opinion but was denied. Ultimately, Nobunaga deferred to the advice of his samurai Yasuke, who supported Mitsuhide's strategy.[5]
On 30 September, Nobunaga led his forces to conquer Iga, proving successful in the effort. Later, in early November, Nobunaga visited Iga before withdrawing his army and giving the province to Nobukatsu to administer.[2]
Later life[edit | edit source]
Following his father's death in 1582, Nobukatsu hoped to become the suzerain of the Oda clan and, to this end, allied with Toyotomi Hideyoshi against his younger brother Oda Nobutaka, who was supported by Shibata Katsuie. Nobukatsu defeated his brother and forced him to commit seppuku. Subsequently, he allied with Tokugawa Ieyasu.[3]
Nobukatsu stood against Hideyoshi for a time but eventually rallied to him, renouncing any claim to his succession. In 1600, he sided with Ieyasu and, during the two sieges of Osaka in 1614–1615, he consolidated his status as a daimyō.[3] Under the Tokugawa shogunate, Nobukatsu became the lord of the Uda-Matsuyama Domain in Yamato Province, and led a comfortable life until his death in 1630.[1]
