Nagai Michitoshi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nagai Michitoshi (長井道利?) (????-1571) was a retainer of the Japanese clan of Saito following the Sengoku period of the 16th century of Japan.

He was the brother of Saito Dosan, the serpent Daimyo, which made him an officer of the Saito clan. When Saito Yoshitatsu, a son of Dosan, clashed in a fight with him, Michitoshi took the side of Yoshitatsu. Michitoshi later fought under Saito Tatsuoki, (another son of Dosan) against the Oda, during the campaign of Mino. He later accompanied Tatsuoki into exile, after their castle was taken over by the Oda forces.
