Oda Nobutoki

Oda Nobutoki (織田 信時, died July 1556) was born the sixth son of Oda Nobuhide, a feudal warlord in Owari Province, Japan, during the Sengoku period. He was the half-brother of Oda Nobunaga and the full brother of Oda Nobuhiro, with all three having the same father. He later became the adopted son of Oda Nobuyasu, his uncle.

In this Japanese name, the family name is Oda.

Control of Moriyama Castle

On May 10, 1555, Nobunaga took control of Kiyosu Castle and began using it as his residence. He then gave Nagoya Castle, his former residence, to his uncle Oda Nobumitsu, ruler of Moriyama Castle, who had provided him with support. In turn, Nobumitsu gave control of Moriyama Castle to Oda Nobutsugu.

The following month, on June 26, Nobutsugu killed Nobunaga's sixth younger brother, Oda Hidetaka, who was riding his horse along the Shōnai River near Moriyama Castle. Both Nobunaga and his feuding brother, Oda Nobuyuki, tried to take control of the castle, but Sakuma Nobumori intervened to keep the peace. Nobutoki was allowed to move his forces in and take control of the castle.[1]

Nobutoki committed seppuku in July 1556, or the sixth month of the year Kōji-2.

gollark: IoT is great because it makes efficient use of computing resources - previously, a toaster could just sit there unhelpfully. *Now* it DDOSes people and mines bitcoins.
gollark: Of course not. They'll do 6GHz but slower due to security issue mitigations!
gollark: Quantum stuff doesn't matter. It's the fact that everything is horrendously insecure anyway.
gollark: I'm sure there are loads, but nobody uses them.
