Kokubudai Kassen
A battle fought during the Warring States period between the Hojo clan, the Satomi clan, and other Boso warlords in the Kokufudai Castle area of Shimousa Province. The first battle was fought in the 7th year of Tenbun and the second in the 6th and 7th years of Eiroku.
Ikewada Castle
It is said that Wada Shoji, a member of the Miura clan, built this castle in the Kamakura period (1185-1333). The name of Ikewada is also said to derive from the Wada clan.
During the Warring States period, the castle was the residence of the Taga clan. During the first Kokubudai Battle, Taga Takaaki, the lord of Ikewada Castle, went into battle as a general of Satomi Yoshiaka, belonging to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the lord of Koyumi, but was defeated and retreated. Taga Takaaki also followed the Satomi clan in the Second Battle of Kokubudai, but was also defeated. At that time, the Hojo forces took advantage of their victory to invade Kamisou Province and attacked Ikewada Castle.
Takaaki's sons, Taga Kurando and Hyoue, fought hard, but the castle fell to the enemy. According to the "Bousou Gunki," the Taga brothers and Shouki Daizensuke are said to have recaptured Ikewada Castle after this attack. The castle came under the control of the Takeda clan of the Agency Minami for a time after the Aibusa peace in Tensho 5 (1577), but at the time of the battle of Odawara in Tensho 18 (1590), Yamatomori Naito was the lord of the castle. The castle was attacked by the forces of Nagamasa Asano and others, fell, and was subsequently abandoned.
The Taga Clan
In the middle of the Muromachi period (1336-1573), Taga Takatada joined the Bungomori family from the Kyogoku clan. He was a powerful figure in maintaining the security of Kyoto as a representative of the samurai government, and was also active in the Onin War, supporting his family, which belonged to the eastern army. However, the Kyogoku and Taga clans were divided by the Kyogoku Disturbance of 1470, and Kiyonao Taga and Munenao Taga, father and son of Izumo no Mamoru, who were antagonistic toward Takatada, switched sides to the western army, weakening the Kyogoku clan.
Otaki Castle
A Japanese castle (castle on a hill) located in Otaki Town, Isumi County, Chiba Prefecture, from the Warring States Period to the Edo Period. It was initially called Odaki Castle. During the Edo period, the Otaki domain was located here.
It is said that it was first built in 1521 by Nobuakiyo Maritani as "Odaki Castle. It used to be thought that Odaki Castle was the Nekoya Castle in the same town, and that today's Otaki Castle was built by Honda Tadakatsu, who ruled the Otaki area under Tokugawa Ieyasu. Although the Odaki and Otaki castles do not completely overlap, it is now believed that the later Otaki Castle was built on the basis of Nobuakiyo's Odaki Castle.
Tokishige Masaki
Tokishige was born in 1513 as the son of Tokitsuna Masaki, and inherited the reigns of his family after his father Tokitsuna and elder brother were killed in battle during the Inamura Incident of 1533, a civil war in the Satomi clan (Tokishige is said to have escaped with his life despite being wounded). Tokishige excelled in spearmanship and was called Yari-taizen (spear master).
He belonged to Yoshitaka Satomi as a parasite, and is said to have entered Kanaya Castle in Joso Province in place of the victorious Yoshitaka who entered the mainland of Awa when he defeated Yoshitaka Satomi in 1534. When Hojo Ujitsuna fought against the Ogiya Uesugi family the following year, he was dispatched as a reinforcement for the Hojo side. Later, the relationship between the Satomi clan and the Hojo clan turned confrontational, and he participated in the first battle of Kokubudai in 1538 as a satomimi.
In 1544, he defeated Asanobu Maritani and took his domain, Odaki Castle (later Otaki Castle), and made it his residence. Later, when Terutora (Kenshin) Uesugi went to the Kanto region in early 1561, he followed Yoshihiro Satomi, Yoshitaka's eldest son, and participated in the campaign together with his eldest son, Nobushige.
