Mōri Katsunaga

Mōri Katsunaga (毛利 勝永, 1577 – June 4, 1615) was an officer for the Toyotomi clan following the sixteenth-century Azuchi-Momoyama period through the early years of the seventeenth-century Edo period in Japan.

In this Japanese name, the family name is Mōri.

Katsunaga fought in the Battle of Sekigahara and at the western legion but was defeated. Later, during the Siege of Osaka, Katsunaga, by tricking a guard, infiltrated Osaka castle. He defeated Honda Tadatomo (an officer for the Tokugawa) there in the summer.[1]
