Historical Information
Oda Nobukiyo was born to Oda Nobuyasu. He married Oinu, the second sister of Oda Nobunaga and became lord of Inuyama Castle in 1544, after Nobuyasu died fighting against the Saitō clan. Nobukiyo chose to support Nobunaga's claim to rule the Oda clan and aided him in 1558 against Oda Nobukata at the battle of Ukino.

However, Nobukiyo turned traitor just a few years later in 1562, attacking Gakuden Castle, to no avail. He had to quickly turn to the defences of Inuyama for protection. By 1564, however, he was overwhelmed and fled to Takeda lands, becoming a monk and taking the name Inuyama Tessai.
