Shibata Katsuie served the Oda clan from his youth until Nobunaga's death in [[1582]]. Interestingly, his first well-known act was one of treason. Although the details of the event are murky, it appears that in [[1557]] Katsuie plotted with [[Oda Nobuyuki]] and [[Hayashi Michikatsu]] against Nobunaga. The scheme came to light and Nobunaga had Nobuyuki, his brother, killed while sparing Shibata and Hayashi. After this vent, Katsuie showed Nobunaga unquestionable loyalty, and was a key asset to the Oda in their days as simple lords of [[Owari Province|Owari]]. Shibata served Nobunaga at the [[Battle of Okehazama]] ([[1560]]) against the Imagawa, and in the Oda's war with the Saito of [[Mino Province|Mino]] ([[1561]]-[[1563]]).
