Fujizawa Yorichika

Yorichika was a minor daimyô in Shinano and held Fukuyo castle in that province's Ina district. Yorichika allied with the Takato to oppose the advance of Takeda Shingen, but when his castle was attacked in July 1545 he submitted. As part of the terms of his surrender, he sent his younger brother Gonjirô as a hostage.
