The Battle of Tennōji (天王寺・岡山の戦い, Tennōji Okayama no tatakai^?) was fought in 1615 between the forces of Tokugawa Ieyasu and the forces of Toyotomi Hideyori. Tokugawa was laying siege to Osaka, and Hideyori had planned a counterattack. Both sides were plagued by mistakes until Hideyori's side finally fell. He committed suicide. The Toyotomi army suffered nearly 50% casualties in this battle, with more than 15000 dead. This was also the final battle of Sanada Yukimura.
