Takeda Nobumasa

Takeda Nobumasa (1196–1265) was the third Takeda clan head, heir of Nobumitsu. At his coming of age in 1204, Regent Hojo Tokimasa capped him and gave him the character masa. As a young man he was exiled to Aki on a false charge but later pardoned.

He fought beside his father for the Kamakura shogunate in the Jokyu War of 1221 and succeeded as clan head when Nobumitsu became a monk. He died in 1265 and was succeeded by his son Nobutoki.
