Comment: Non-neutral (especially the duplicity led to his demise part) and we need a few more sources to prove notability though I'm fairly certain he is notable. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 13:52, 30 September 2026 (UTC)

Oda Nobumitsu (織田信光, 1516 – January 7, 1556), also known as Oda Magosaburō, was a Japanese samurai commander of the Sengoku period. He was a younger brother of Oda Nobuhide and an uncle of Oda Nobunaga.
Biography
[edit]Early Life and Military Service
[edit]Nobumitsu served as a senior commander within the Oda clan during the consolidation of power in Owari Province. In 1542, he participated in the Battle of Azukizaka against the forces of Imagawa Yoshimoto, where he gained recognition as one of the "Seven Spears of Azukizaka" (小豆坂の七本槍) for his combat performance.[1]
Role in the Capture of Kiyosu Castle
[edit]In 1555, Sakai Daizen, a deputy military governor representing the rival Kiyosu branch of the Oda clan led by Oda Nobutomo, approached Nobumitsu to form an alliance against Oda Nobunaga. Daizen offered Nobumitsu the position of joint shugadai (deputy governor) in exchange for his military support.[2]
Nobumitsu formally accepted the offer from the Kiyosu faction while simultaneously entering into a secret agreement with Nobunaga. Under the terms of their agreement, Nobumitsu agreed to undermine the Kiyosu forces from within in exchange for a division of territory in southern Owari.
Upon relocating to the southern watchtower of Kiyosu Castle, Nobumitsu attempted to capture Sakai Daizen. Daizen escaped and sought refuge with Imagawa Yoshimoto. Nobumitsu then captured Oda Nobutomo, who was subsequently forced to commit seppuku. Following the fall of Kiyosu Castle, Nobunaga assumed control of Kiyosu, while Nobumitsu took up residence at Nagoya Castle.[3]
Death
[edit]In January 1556, approximately seven months after the occupation of Kiyosu, Nobumitsu was assassinated at Nagoya Castle by Sakai Magohachirō, a former retainer of Sakai Daizen.
