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, Nobukatsu was adopted into the Kitabatake clan of Ise Province. Nobunaga later had key Kitabatake clan members assassinated to clear way for Nobukatsu to rise in the hierarchy, essentially taking over the clan from within.[2]
Biography
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 forces 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. Once again, however, the Iga forces used guerrilla tactics and inflicted heavy losses against Nobukatsu's forces, forcing a retreat. Upon learning of his son's humiliating defeat, Nobunaga threatened to disown him, though did not follow through with it.[2]
Following a shinobi attack at Azuchi Castle, Nobukatsu later attended a war council with his father presiding. As his father boasted of their victories over the Ikko ikki monks at Honganji and the Bessho clan, Tokugawa Ieyasu asserted that Iga still remained a problem. Nobukatsu insisted that the Igans suffered heavy losses against his army, only for Ieyasu to correct that the enemy routed his forces and were currently rallying support. Nobukatsu then bowed his head in shame as his father rebuked him for trying to prove himself and thus provoked the Igans he would've left well enough alone. As Ieyasu, Hashiba Hideyoshi and Akechi Mitsuhide gave their advice for an attack, Nobukatsu attempted to give his opinion but his father refused to hear him. Ultimately, Nobunaga deferred to his samurai, Yasuke, who supported Mitsuhide's strategy.[3]
On September 30, 1581, Nobunaga led his forces to conquer Iga. In early November of that year, Nobunaga visited Iga before withdrawing his army from it and giving it for Nobukatsu to administer.[2]
