Oda Nobukatsu
Japanese samurai / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about Nobunaga's son Nobukatsu (信雄). For his uncle Nobukatsu (信勝), see Oda Nobuyuki.
Oda Nobukatsu (織田 信雄, 1558 – June 10, 1630) also known as Kitabatake Tomotoyo was a Japanese samurai of the Azuchi–Momoyama period. He was the second son of Oda Nobunaga. He was adopted as the head of the Kitabatake clan from Ise Province. He survived the decline of the Oda clan from political prominence, becoming a daimyō in the early Edo period. Though often described as an incompetent general, Nobukatsu was a skilled warrior. In the battle of Komaki and Nagakute, he used a 13th-century tachi of the Fukuoka Ichimonji school, to slay a samurai known as Okada Sukesaburō, therefore the blade was known as "Okada-giri Yoshifusa", now a national treasure.
