Ryūzōji Takanobu (龍造寺 隆信, March 24, 1530 – May 4, 1584) was a Japanese daimyō in Hizen Province during the Sengoku period.[1] Takanobu became the 19th head of the Ryūzōji clan.[citation needed]
Biography[]
Takanobu was the grandson of Ryūzōji Iekane (1454-1546).[2]
Ryūzōji Takanobu is known for expanding his clan's holdings. He took land from the Shōni clan.
In 1584, Ryūzōji retainer Arima Harunobu split from the clan. Seizing upon this opportunity, several of the local small clans in the Shimabara Peninsula also rose up in arms. Takanobu personally led an army of around 30,000 against the Shimazu-Arima, but was killed in the Battle of Okitanawate.[2]
(1556–1607) was the son of Takanobu.[3]
