Dota Gozen

[1] Dota Gozen's origins are unknown, including her date and location of birth, her ancestry, and her real name.

According to rumors[citation needed], Gozen did not like her eldest son Nobunaga, notorious in Owari for his eccentric and unconventional behavior, and instead preferred his well-mannered younger brother, Nobuyuki.

When Nobuhide died in 1551, Gozen lived in Suemori Castle with her second son, Nobuyuki, and supported him in the succession crisis that occurred.

Although Nobunaga was the legitimate heir as head of the Oda clan, Nobuyuki and other family members plotted against his succession.

Afterward, she lived with Nobunaga and Oichi and looked after their children (Nobutada, Nobukatsu, Nobutaka, Chacha, Hatsu, Gō, etc.)
