  • Born: 1558
  • Died: 1583
  • Japanese: 織田 信孝 (Oda Nobutaka)


Nobutaka was the third son of Nobunaga and was adopted into the Kanbe family of Ise. After the death of his father he joined Hideyoshi's army and at the Battle of Yamazaki and helped defeat Akechi Mitsuhide. He was supported as heir to the Oda house by Shibata Katsuie and defied a request by Hideyoshi to release Sambôshi (the late 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 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.
