The Takeda of [[Wakasa province]] were a tributary branch of the Takeda of Kai who were established in Wakasa by shôgun [[Ashikaga Yoshinori]] ([[1394]]-[[1441]]), at whose behest [[Takeda Nobukata]] defeated [[Ishiki Yoshitsura]] in [[1540]]. During the [[Sengoku Period]] they were minor daimyô, eventually submitting to the authority of [[Oda Nobunaga]]. [[Takeda Motoaki]] (d.[[1582]]) sided with [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] following the latter's destruction of Oda Nobunaga in 1582 in the hopes of recovering land they had earlier given up at Nobunaga's behest. Motoaki was afterwards killed on [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi's|Toyotomi Hideyoshi's]] orders. The Wakasa Takeda were best known for cultural pursuits.
