Print of Takeda Sama-no-suke Nobushige by Kuniyoshi

Takeda Nobushige (武田信繁, Takeda Nobushige^?)(d. 1561) was a samurai of Japan's Sengoku period, and younger brother of Takeda Shingen. Takeda Nobushige held the favor of their father, and was meant to inherit the Takeda lands, wealth and power, becoming head of the clan. However, Shingen rebelled against their father and seized the lands and power for himself. Nobushige nevertheless fought alongside his brother who relied on him for support, until his honourable death at the fourth battle of Kawanakajima in 1561.
