'Takeda Yoshinobu' (武田義信:
1538–
November 19,
1567) was a Japanese
daimyo of the
Sengoku period. Born 'Takeda Tarō', he was the son of
Takeda Shingen, by Shingen's wife, Lady Sanjō. He came of age in 1550, and took the formal name of Yoshinobu, receiving the "yoshi" from the 13th Ashikaga shogun,
Ashikaga Yoshiteru. In 1552, to further Takeda-Imagawa ties, he married a daughter of
Imagawa Yoshimoto. While Yoshinobu served for a time as lord of the Takeda clan, he rebelled against his father, and was captured and imprisoned together with
Obu Toramasa. Yoshinobu's nephew Nobukatsu (son of his half-brother
Katsuyori) replaced him as lord of the Takeda clan.
