Takeda Nobutora (武田 信虎, February 11, 1494 – March 27, 1574) was a Japanese daimyō (feudal lord) who controlled the Province of Kai, and fought in a number of battles of the Sengoku period.

[1][2] During that battle, Nobutora was forced to retreat, but his son Harunobu turned around the condition, defeated Hiraga and took the castle.

Nobutora nevertheless wished to pass on his domain to Nobushige, and so in 1540, Harunobu overthrew his father and exiled him to Suruga.

Nobutora didn't return to Kai until the death of Shingen in 1573, at the invitation of his grandson Katsuyori.

After the Incident of Honnoji, Toyotomi Hideyoshi recovered the sword, which he later gave to Tokugawa Ieyasu as a gift.
