* ''Death: [[1587]]''
* ''Other name: Chôsokabe Yasaburô''
Nobuchika was [[Chosokabe Motochika|Chôsokabe Motochika's]] eldest and favorite son, and was popular with the Chôsokabe retainers owing to his warm and genial nature. His coming of age ceremony coincided with Motochika's communications with [[Oda Nobunaga]], who provided the 'nobu' in Nobuchika's name, along with a sword and his ceremonial headgear. He was struck down in the retreat from the defeat at [[Battle of Hetsugigawa|Hetsugigawa]], on 1/20/1587. The [[Shimazu clan|Shimazu]] honored Motochika by sending the body of his son to him and allowing him to flee to Shikoku. Nobuchika's death was lamented by the [[Chosokabe clan|Chôsokabe]], and especially Motochika, who had now to chose a successor. His decision to name [[Chosokabe Morichika|Morichika]] as his heir would create deep rifts within the clan that contributed to its ultimate fall.
