Battle of Komaki and Nagakute
Nagayoshi's efforts for Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the difficult Battle of Komaki and Nagakute ultimately took his life. During the battle he rode in front of his lines and waved a war fan frantically. He stood out conspicuously wearing a white jinbaori and was subsequently shot in the head by an ashigaru firing a matchlock rifle. His younger brother Mori Tadamasa became the next clan head.
