* ''Title: Etchû no kami''
* ''Distinction: [[Etchu province|Etchû]] warlord
Nagamoto is thought to have been the son of [[Jinbo Yoshimune]] and ruled from [[Toyama castle]]. He was often at war with the [[Shiina family]] and attacked the latter's [[Matsukura castle]] in [[1559]]. [[Shiina Yasutane]] called on the assistance of [[Uesugi Kenshin]] of [[Echigo province]], who captured Toyama in the spring of [[1560]]/3/3. Nagamoto fled to [[Masuyama castle]] and continued to resist the Shiina from his remaining holdings. In [[1562]] Nagamoto again attacked the Shiina, and once again Uesugi Kenshin led an army into Etchû and defeated Nagamoto in the 10th month of that year. When [[Takeda Shingen]] became involved in Etchû's fortunes after [[1566]], Uesugi Kenshin sided with Nagamoto for a time - though internal strife within the [[Jinbo clan]] at length brought about the demise of the family as daimyô. The Jinbo were afterwards [[Uesugi clan|Uesugi]] vassals.
