Nobutaka was first a retainer of [[Takeda Nobutora]], but became one of the chief conspirators in the plot that led to his removal in [[1541]]. He afterwards became a close advisor to [[Takeda Shingen]]. He was known as much for his stratagems and schemes as he was for his talents as a warrior, and was behind the plot that allowed [[Suwa Yorishige]] to be tricked into submitting to Shingen in [[1542]]. He was killed at the [[Battle of Uedahara]] in 1548 by the [[Murakami clan|Murakami]] due to apparent carelessness on his part. Itagaki was known to have fielded one of Shingen's spy units.
