Nobuchika was [[Takeda Shingen|Shingen's]] second son. He was born blind and so was not fit for leading men in battle, though he acted as heir to the [[Unna clan|Unno]] family of [[Shinano province|Shinano]]. He committed suicide when [[Kai province|Kai]] was invaded by the [[Oda clan|Oda]] and [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]] in [[1582]]. His son [[Takeda Nobumitsu|Nobumitsu]] was afterwards protected by [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] from harm.
