Azai Nagamasa (浅井 長政, 1545 – 1573) was a Japanese daimyō who lived in Ōmi Province. In 1564,[1] Azai married Oichi, the younger sister of Oda Nobunaga,[2] with who he would father three daugthers.[1]

In 1570, due to a multi-generational alliance relationship with the Asakura clan, Azai attacked his brother-in-law's forces as they attempted to besiege the Asakura's main castle. Nobunaga was forced to retreat and felt personally betrayed by Azai, who he considered part of the family.[2]
