Oda clan troops attacking Iga in 1581

The Tenshō Iga War (1579–1581) comprised the two invasions of Iga by Oda Nobunaga during the Sengoku period.[1][2] First initiated on 6 October 1579[3][4] as a poorly-enacted campaign under Nobunaga's second son Nobukatsu,[5] his army fell into an ambush set by shinobi from the autonomous Iga ikki and was routed.[6]

Furious that his son had foolishly left the job half-done, allowing it to become a larger problem when the emboldened Igans rallied allies, Nobunaga resolved to crush the resistance and personally took command of the army.[7] He met with much greater success when he returned on 30 September 1581 with his new retainer Yasuke,[3] razing down settlements across the province and all but destroying Iga.[3][8] In a twist of fate, one of the surviving ninja, Fujibayashi Naoe,[9] later joined forces with Yasuke to pursue the common goal of hunting their mutual enemy, the Shinbakufu.[10]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

The Tenshō Iga War is a historical event that was first mentioned in the Echoes of History podcast as part of promotions for the 2025 video game Assassin's Creed: Shadows before it appeared in the official trailer.[11][12]
