*[[Tokugawa shogunate]] vs. [[Toyotomi clan]]
**''Date: [[1614]]''
The 1614 battle of the Kizugawa was one of a number of battles making up the [[siege of Osaka]] [[Osaka Winter Campaign|Winter Campaign]], in which the Tokugawa shogunate destroyed the Toyotomi clan, the last major opposition to its control of Japan.
A fortress loyal to the Toyotomi controlled a section of the [[Kizu River]] (Kizugawa) near [[Osaka]]. After a shogunal reconnaissance mission, a pair of amphibious assaults were launched to seize it. [[Ishikawa Tadafusa]] led 2300 men across the river on boats from the west while other groups under the command of [[Hachisuka Yoshishige]] attacked from the south and east.
The assaults were successful, and the fortress fell to the Tokugawa forces.
