Nobutomo was the head of the [[Oda clan (Owari)|Iwakura Oda family]] and ruled the four southern districts of Owari province. He acted as ''shûgodai'' (deputy governor) for [[Shiba Yoshimune]], behind whom he ruled. After [[Oda Nobuhide]] died in [[1551]] and [[Oda Nobunaga|Nobunaga]] was named as the heir, Nobutomo plotted to assassinate him. Yoshimune learned of Nobutomo's designs and alerted Nobunaga, with whom he had a secret relationship. Nobutomo discovered Yoshimune's activities and had him killed. Nobunaga responded by attacking [[Kiyosu castle]] and Nobutomo was killed.
