Nobukado was a younger brother of [[Takeda Shingen]]. While not known as a great captain, he was an avid painter (examples of his work survive to the present day, including a portrait of his mother) and a man of learning in general. He also acted as his brother's double from time to time. After Shingen's death, he served as an advisor to Katsuyori and fought at [[Battle of Nagashino|Nagashino]] ([[1575]]). He held [[Takato castle]] in [[Shinano province|Shinano]] until his nephew (and in fact son-in-law) [[Nishina Morinobu]] came of age and took over the position. When [[Oda Nobunaga]] invaded the [[Takeda clan|Takeda]] lands in [[1582]], Nobukado attempted to flee but was captured and beheaded by [[Oda clan|Oda]] troops at the Zenkoji in Shinano province.
