Nobutaka was the third son of [[Oda Nobunaga|Nobunaga]] and was adopted into the [[Kanbe clan|Kanbe family]] of [[Ise province|Ise]]. He was tasked by his father with the responsibility of pacifying the island of [[Shikoku]]. Nobutaka received the order on 5/7/1582 and reached Sumiyoshi on 5/11 with 14,000 men.<ref>See [[Frois's History of Japan]] 5:138 (Ch.55). A footnote on p. 141 gives Japanese references as 「史料綜覧」(東京大学史料編纂所) 11:327,329, 335.</ref> Nobunaga’s assassination at [[Honno-ji]], however, effectively put an end to the invasion. Nobutaka then allied with [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Hideyoshi's]] army and at the [[Battle of Yamazaki]] helped defeat [[Akechi Mitsuhide]]. He was supported as heir to the [[Oda clan (Owari)|Oda]] house by [[Shibata Katsuie]] and defied a request by Hideyoshi to release [[Oda Hidenobu|Sambôshi]] (the late [[Oda Nobutada|Oda Nobutada's]] son) into his custody. Afterwards he plotted with Katsuie against Hideyoshi but jumped the gun by raising his banners at Gifu before the [[Shibata clan|Shibata]] were in a position to help him. Faced with Hideyoshi's army, he submitted, only to rebel the following Spring. He was briefly besieged at Gifu, then committed suicide when he learned that [[Shibata Katsuie]] had taken his own life following the [[Battle of Shizugatake]].
