Takeda Nobukado

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Takeda Nobukado (武田信廉?)(d. 1575) was a samurai commander of the late Sengoku period of Japanese history. He was a brother of Takeda Shingen, and one of his 'Twenty-Four Generals'. Nobukado commanded the Takeda central company in the Battle of Nagashino, as an adviser under Katsuyori.

Nobukado attempted to flee when in 1582 Nobunaga invaded the Takeda lands, but he ended up being captured and beheaded, along with many other Takeda retainers.
