Oda Nobutaka
Oda Nobunaga's third son, who inherited the Kanbe house of Ise. Right after Honnō-ji he was leading the army for the invasion of Shikoku; he joined the returning Hideyoshi and, as nominal commander-in-chief at Yamazaki, defeated Akechi Mitsuhide. But at the Kiyosu conference that followed he lost the manoeuvring against his brother Nobukatsu and Hideyoshi and with it the leadership of the Oda house. He joined Shibata Katsuie and Takigawa Kazumasu against Hideyoshi, but was isolated when Katsuie lost at Shizugatake. After surrendering he was ordered to take his own life at Utsumi in Owari, and died at 26. His death poem cursing Hideyoshi survives.
