The Battle of Mimaomote (三間表の戦い, Mimaomote no tatakai) was a battle during the Azuchi-Momoyama period (16th century) of Japan.
The Battle of Mimaomote had been led by Chōsokabe commander Hisatake Chikanobu (久武 親信) --equipped with 7,000 men-- into the province of Iyo on the Shikoku Island, in which he had attacked Doi Kiyoyoshi, the enemy commander. Doi crossed the Mimaomote river to meet Hisatake within a fierce battle on the 21st of May, 1579. Hisatake was eventually defeated and killed, resulting in the victory of Doi Kiyoyoshi.
