Tobe Shinzaemon


 

Tobe Shinzaemon Masanao help mediated the exchange between Oda Nobuhiro and Takechiyo (Tokugawa Ieyasu) in 1549. After the Imagawa captured Anjo Castle, Nobuhiro became a hostage. The Imagawa wanted Takechiyo back and the Oda Nobuhide wanted his son, Nobuhiro back in Owari. So Tobe Shinzaemon Masanao made the hostage exchange happened. Unfortunately, Tobe Shinzaemon Masanao passed away in 1557, three years before the Battle of Okehazama. Tobe Shrine/Tobe Shinzaemon grave is a short walk from Chorakuji, the area where Mizuno Tatewaki's mansion was located. Tatewaki was in charge of Fort Tange during the Battle of Okehazama.
