Takeda Yoshinobu

Takeda Yoshinobu (武田 義信, 1538 – November 19, 1567) was a Japanese daimyō of the Sengoku period.

Born Takeda Tarō (武田 太郎), he was the son of Takeda Shingen, by Shingen's wife, Lady Sanjō (三条夫人, real name unknown).

Yoshinobu served as an illegitimate son for a time, but rebelled against his father and was captured and imprisoned along with Obu Toramasa.

Toramasa, who was an educator, was forced to commit seppuku and he was also executed.

Yoshinobu's nephew Nobukatsu (son of his half-brother Katsuyori) replaced him as lord of the Takeda clan who also was responsible for his death.
