Sanada Nobutsuna

Sanada Nobutsuna (真田 信綱, 1537 – June 29, 1575) was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku period. He was born in Matsuo castle and was the eldest son of Sanada Yukitaka, a castle lord in Shinano Province who, by the time of his son's coming-of-age, had pledged his loyalty to the Takeda. During his coming-of-age ceremony, therefore, Sanada Nobutsuna was granted the shin (信) character from Takeda Shingen's name and took the name of Nobutsuna (信綱).

In this Japanese name, the family name is Sanada.

Nobutsuna's first military campaign is believed to have been around the time of the Siege of Toishi. He is known as one of the "Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda Shingen".[1] During the Battle of Nagashino in 1575, Nobutsuna was killed in combat.[2]

Family

After Nobutsuna's death his younger brother, Masayuki took the clan leadership. Nobutsuna's daughter Seiin-in was Sanada Nobuyuki (Masayuki's elder son)'s first wife. Later she was degraded as a concubine. A nephew of his, Sanada Yukimura (Nobushige) became one of the most famous samurai of this period.

gollark: This is just a bad implementation of a "boost converter", so just look up that.
gollark: The capacitor smooths the very wobbly lines into nonwobbly lines.
gollark: The transistor switches the inductor between being connected to the voltage source's other end and being connected to it only through the diode and capacitor and resistor and such. The inductor "wants" to keep the current through it constant. When it's connected to the other end of the voltage source, it's "charging", and when it is disconnected there is a voltage across it slightly bigger than the voltage source's voltage, which causes a current through the left side of the circuit.
