Profile

Takeda Shingen, original name Takeda Harunobu, (born December 1, 1521, Kai province [now Yamanashi prefecture], Japan—died May 13, 1573, Komaba, Shinano province [now Nagano prefecture]), daimyo (feudal lord) and one of the most-famous military leaders of Japan, who struggled for mastery of the strategic Kantō Plain in east-central Honshu during the chaotic Sengoku ("Warring States") period of civil unrest in the 16th century. Takeda is especially well known for his series of battles with the noted warrior Uesugi Kenshin, which not only are famous in the annals of Japanese history but are also much celebrated in Japanese drama and folklore. Takeda Harunobu was born into the powerful Takeda clan of shugo daimyo (military governors) who at the time controlled Kai province (present-day Yamanashi prefecture), a mountainous region west of the Kantō Plain. In 1541 he forced his father, Takeda Nobutora, to retire as head of the clan, and Harunobu assumed that position. He soon began expanding his family's domains northward into Shinano province (present-day Nagano prefecture) and into other lands adjacent to Kai. He entered the priesthood in 1551, at which time he assumed the Buddhist name Shingen. Taking religious vows, however, in no way hampered his participation in worldly affairs. Soon thereafter, Takeda began his struggle with Uesugi for mastery of the Kantō. Although their battles over more than a decade were relatively indecisive, Takeda became recognized as one of the most-powerful military leaders in east-central Japan. As such, he posed a threat to the powerful warrior Oda Nobunaga, who was attempting to unify Japan under his control, and to Tokugawa Ieyasu, Oda's ally and founder of the Tokugawa shogunate (military dictatorship). Takeda defeated an army led by Tokugawa near Hamamatsu (in present-day Shizuoka prefecture) in January 1573, and he made further inroads into Tokugawa-controlled territory before he died of a terminal illness later that year. His son and successor, Takeda Katsuyori, was defeated by Oda and Tokugawa in the early 1580s, thus ending the Takeda family's power.
