* ''Other names: Igawa Sôgen, Shinjirô''
* ''Title: Wakasa no kami''
* ''Distinction: [[Hatakeyama clan|Hatakeyama]] retainer''
Mitsunobu served the Hatakeyama of [[Noto province]]. When the chief Hatakeyama retainers forced [[Hatakeyama Yoshitsugu]] to retire in favor of his son, [[Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna|Yoshitsuna]] ([[1551]]), Mitsunobu emerged as an ally of Yoshitsugu and Yoshitsuna. The retainers established a council of seven members to rule the province behind Yoshitsuna; when one of the seven died, the Hatakeyama contrived to have Mitsunobu named as his replacement. He was a capable administrator and a loyal retainer, helping the Hatakeyama to restore their authority in [[1555]], although his ultimate fate is unknown.
