English: After Toshiie died, when Mitsunari ISHIDA, one of Gobugyo (five major magistrates), backed Terumoto MORI up as their supreme commander and raised an army in 1600 against Ieyasu TOKUGAWA, who was one of Gotairo (Council of Five Elders), he and his elder brother Toshinaga belonged to the East squad and on their way to Sekigahara they caved Munenaga YAMAGUCHI, who was on the part of the West squad, in Daishoji-jo Castle in Hokuriku region.
Japanese: 利家の死後に慶長5年（1600年）に五奉行の石田三成らが毛利輝元を擁立して五大老の徳川家康に対して挙兵すると、兄・利長と共に東軍に属し関ヶ原に向かう途中、北陸の西軍方大聖寺城の山口宗永を陥れた。
English: The reason for this is thought to be whether his wife was taken hostage by Mitsunari, or he was on the side of Toyotomi from the beginning, or it was a measure to keep their family name of Maeda clan when either side was defeated.
Japanese: その原因は妻が三成の人質となっていたたとも、元々豊臣方であったためとも、どちらが敗れても前田氏の家名を残そうとする策であったともいわれる。
English: However, considering that he declined like below when he was offered a position of a feudal lord of 100,000-koku class for his having been neutral during the Osaka no Jin (the Siege of Osaka), his act might as well be regarded as the one from allegiance to the Toyotomi family.
Japanese: だが、大坂の陣で中立を通し10万石の大名にする打診を受けた際、下記のように断っていることから、豊臣家に対する忠節心からの行動であったとも考えられる。
English: After the battle Toshimasa had his territory in Noto confiscated and it was given to his elder brother because the West squad was defeated.
Japanese: 戦後、西軍が敗れたために利政は能登の所領を没収され、その所領は兄に与えられた。
English: At Osaka no Eki (The Siege of Osaka), which started in 1614, he was fingered by both camps, but he remained neutral.
Japanese: 慶長19年（1614年）からの大坂の役では、両陣営から誘いを受けたが中立を決め込んだという。
English: After the battle, Ieyasu liked it that Toshimasa had rejected the call from the West squad and offered him feudal lord of 100,000-koku class.
Japanese: 戦後、西軍の誘いに乗らなかった利政の行動に家康は気に入り、利政を10万石の大名取り立てる打診をした。
English: I just didn't want be under the command of Harunaga ONO and that wasn't the act from the loyalty to Kanto side (Tokugawa).
Japanese: 「自分は大野治長の指揮下に入りたくなかっただけで、関東方（徳川）への忠節を尽くす行動ではない。」
English: Tsunanao OSAFUNE (?-1599) was a figure who lived in the Azuchi-Momoyama Period
Japanese: 長船綱直（おさふねつななお　？－慶長4年（1599年）？）は安土桃山時代の人物。
English: Considering the age, 'Osafune Kii no kami', the father of Tatsuyasu TOGAWA's wife, might be his father Ecchu no kami Sadachika.
Japanese: 戸川達安の妻の父である「長船紀伊守」とは年代的に父の越中守貞親のことか。
English: In 1591 his father Sadachika was assassinated and his residence, Kogura-jo Castle was burnt down, but Tsunanao did not get involved in the trouble because he was out.
Japanese: 1591年に父の貞親が暗殺され、居城である虎倉城が全焼するという事件が勃発するが、綱直は外出していたため難を免れている。
English: As the ability that he had shown in Fushimijo fushin (construction of Fushimi-jo Castle) in 1594 as a Fushin bugyo (shogunate administrator) was recognized by Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI, he took over governmental affairs of the Ukita clan's territory from Ietoshi OKA.
Japanese: 1594年、伏見城普請において普請奉行を務め、そのときの能力を豊臣秀吉に認められて、岡家利に代わって宇喜多氏領国の国政を担った。
English: He was competent in domestic affairs and worked on the financial problems of his master's family to solve through the land survey and so on with Jirobe NAKAMURA, who was an aide close to Hideie UKITA and had played an important role in restoration work on Okayama-jo Castle, and Tarozaemon UKITA, a lord chamberlain since the time of Naoie.
Japanese: 内政手腕に優れ、宇喜多秀家の側近で岡山城の改修に功のあった中村次郎兵衛や、直家の時代からの用人浮田太郎左衛門とともに、領内検地などにより主家の財政問題解消に取り組んだ。
English: Consequently, he was opposed to Tatsuyasu TOGAWA and OKA Echizen no kami (a child of Buzen no kami) whose opinions were different from his.
Japanese: このため、意見を異にした戸川達安や岡越前守（豊前守の子）と対立したという。
English: He became a Christian and an opponent of Tatsuyasu and Echizen no kami, believers in the Nichiren sect of Buddhism, in terms of religion.
Japanese: キリシタンとなり、宗教面でも日蓮宗徒である達安や越前守と対立することになる。
English: He died of illness in 1597 or in 1599, and he is said to have been reconciled with the Togawa clan just before his death, but one theory is that he was killed with poison by Tatsuyasu and Echizen no kami.
Japanese: 慶長2年（1597年）あるいは同4年（1599年）に病死し、その直前に戸川氏とは和解したとされているが、一説には達安や越前守に毒殺されたとも言われている。
English: Tsunanao's autocracy contributed to the feud of Ukita Family in January, 1599.
Japanese: 綱直の専制は、同5年（1599年）1月の宇喜多氏のお家騒動（宇喜多騒動）の一因となった。
English: Nobukimi ANAYAMA/Baisetsu ANAYAMA was a military commander during the period of warring states.
Japanese: 穴山信君/穴山梅雪（あなやまのぶきみ/あなやまばいせつ）は、戦国時代(日本)の武将である。
English: The Anayama clan was a leader among the kindred, having had marital relations with the Takeda clan for generations; besides, having granted the cognomen Takeda, the clan was a family of pedigree.
Japanese: 代々武田氏と婚姻関係を結ぶ親族衆の重鎮であり、武田姓の使用を許される名門であった。
English: Residing at Shimoyama-jo Castle (the present-day Honkoku-ji Temple in Yamanashi), their territories included: the Kawachi area (southern area of Kaikoma County, the present-day Minobucho, Minamikomagun County area); part of the Nishiyatsushiro County (the present-day Shimobe, Minobucho, Minamikomagun County area); and Anayama in the northern part of the Koma County (the present-day Nakadamachi and Anayamamachi area in Nirasaki City).
Japanese: 下山城（現在は本国寺(山梨)）を居城とし、河内地方（甲斐巨摩郡南部地域（現在の南巨摩郡身延町周辺））・西八代郡の一部（現在の南巨摩郡身延町下部近辺））の他に巨摩郡北部の穴山（現在の韮崎市中田町及び穴山町周辺）等を領地とした。
English: In the southern area of the Koma County and Yatsushiro County, they possessed a gold mine operated independently by the Anayama clan, which had broken away from the head of the Takeda family.
Japanese: 巨摩郡南部地域・八代郡には武田宗家より独立した、穴山氏により独自に運営される金山も持つ。
English: In 1569, the Takeda clan conflicted with the Gohojo clan over Suruga Province--Nobukimi ANAYAMA remained at Okitsu-jo Castle after the main unit of the Takeda army retreated to Kai, and provided a foothold when the Takeda clan again invaded Suruga.
Japanese: 永禄12年（1569年）、武田氏が駿河国を巡り後北条氏と対立した折には、武田軍本隊が甲斐に退却した後も興津城に踏み止まり、武田氏が駿河へ再侵攻する足掛かりとなった。
English: He excelled at domestic affairs, building a town under Ejiri-jo Castle and developing a transportation route in order to promote a commercial policy.
Japanese: 江尻城に城下町を形成し、輸送ルートを整備して商業政策を進めるなど、内政手腕に優れていた。
English: After the death of Shingen, he was constantly in conflict with Shingen's cousin Katsuyori TAKEDA; although he once took part in the Battle of Nagashino, he pulled out of the battle without asking for consent.
Japanese: 信玄の死後、従兄弟の武田勝頼とは対立が絶えず、長篠の戦いの際には勝手に戦線を離脱。
English: It was said that Masanobu KOSAKA was angered at this and proposed to Katsuyori that he should have Nobukimi commit seppuku (suicide by disembowelment), but Katsuyori dismissed the idea, fearing that the family might become divided if he punished Nobukimi, a leading figure among the kindred (according to "Koyo Gunkan" --record of the military exploits of the Takeda family).
Japanese: 『甲陽軍鑑』によると、これに怒った高坂昌信が勝頼に信君を切腹させるべきだと意見したが、親族衆の重鎮である信君を処断することで家中が分裂することを恐れ、勝頼はその意見を退けたとされる。
English: In the subjugation of Takeda by Nobunaga ODA in 1582, Nobukimi betrayed Katsuyori at the last minute and collaborated with Nobunaga through Ieyasu TOKUGAWA (some say he had been in contact with Tokugawa for several years).
Japanese: 天正10年（1582年）、織田信長の武田征伐による土壇場に至って勝頼を裏切り、徳川家康を通じて信長に内応した（数年前から徳川との接触があったとする説もある）。
English: According to one theory, he collaborated based on the condition of the approval of his former territories (territory of Ejiri in Kawachi) and survival of the Takeda family.
Japanese: 一説に旧領の安堵（河内・江尻領）、および武田家の存続を条件に内応したと伝えられている。
English: Other than conflicts with Katsuyori, the reason for the betrayal was said that the coup incident by Yoshinobu TAKEDA played a role (his brother Nobukuni took sides with Yoshinobu, leading to suicide), or that his wife Kenshoin suggested to her husband that her real son Nobuharu ANAYAMA (Katsuchiyo) was more suitable as the head of the Takeda family (Nobuharu was three-quarters Takeda clan blood) rather than Katsuyori who was from a line of the Suwa clan--but all such theories lack conclusive evidence.
Japanese: 裏切りの原因については、勝頼との対立の他に、かつての武田義信によるクーデター事件が関係しているとも（弟信邦は義信側に味方したことにより自害）、妻の見性院が諏訪氏の血を引く勝頼よりも、自らが生んだ穴山信治（勝千代）の方が武田家当主に相応しい（信治は武田氏の血を3/4継いでいる）と夫に勧めたためだとも言われるが、いずれにせよ確証はない。
English: In any case, Nobukimi's betrayal shocked Takeda's warlords and became one of the reasons for the fall of the Takeda clan.
Japanese: ともかく、信君の裏切りは武田諸将に衝撃を与え、武田氏滅亡の一因となる。
English: After the war, he went to the capital (Kyoto) with Ieyasu to thank Nobunaga for approving his territory.
Japanese: 戦後は信長から所領を安堵されたので、御礼を言上するため家康とともに上洛する。
English: When the Honnoji Incident occurred while they were sightseeing in Sakai City (Osaka Prefecture), they tried to quickly return to Kai, but according to "Mikawa Monogatari" (Tales from Mikawa), as Nobukimi's party was carrying a lot of money and goods, they went a separate way for fear they might be robbed by Ieyasu's attendants; however, they were consequently attacked by natives who were holding up lost samurai along the Kizu-gawa River (near Yamashiro-Ohashi Bridge in the present-day Kyotanabe City, Kyoto Prefecture), and Nobukimi was killed.
Japanese: 堺市（大阪府）を遊覧していた際に本能寺の変が起こったため、急ぎ甲斐に戻ろうとしたが、『三河物語』によると、金品を多く持っていた信君一行は、家康従者に強奪されることを恐れて別行動をとった結果、山城国綴喜郡の現在の木津川(京都府)河畔（現在の京都府京田辺市の山城大橋近く）で落ち武者狩りの土民に襲撃されて殺害されたとされる。
English: One theory holds that Ieyasu TOKUGAWA ordered to kill Nobukimi, but after the incident, Ieyasu had Nobukimi's legitimate son Nobuharu take over as the head of the family, and besides, treated Nobukimi's wife Kenshoin with respect.
Japanese: 一説に徳川家康が命じて殺したとされるが、変後には嫡子信治に家督を継承させており、また、妻の見性院も丁重に遇されている。
English: At the time, Ieyasu was on verge of death, so he couldn't have had the time to plan the assassinations of others; therefore, this theory lacks credibility.
Japanese: 当時、家康自身の命が危険だった状態であり、他人の暗殺など考える暇があったとは考えられず、信憑性に乏しいと思われる。
English: The Anayama clan line ended in 1587 with the sudden death of the legitimate son Katsuchiyo ANAYAMA (childhood name of Nobuharu TAKEDA).
Japanese: 穴山氏は、嫡男である穴山勝千代（武田信治）が天正15年（1587年）に急死したため断絶した。
English: Because he betrayed Katsuyori at the last minute despite being a Takeda family member, Nobukimi ANAYAMA had a negative reputation alongside Yoshimasa KISO, who was also the son-in-law of Shingen but switched sides to the Oda family, and Nobushige OYAMADA, who committed betrayal just before the fall; however, Hachiro SATO gives him a favorable appraisal, justifying his daring decision to turn away in order to sustain the family name, while Toshifumi YANO believes that the relationship between the Takeda clan and local samurai lords such as Anayama and Oyamada was a coalition government, and that with the fall of Takeda family, Nobukimi broke away from the perspective of an individual feudal lord.
Japanese: 武田一族にも関わらず土壇場で勝頼を裏切ったことから、同じく信玄の娘婿でありながら織田家に寝返った木曽義昌や滅亡寸前に裏切った小山田信茂らと共に否定的評価がある一方で、佐藤八郎など家名存続のため敢えて背いた情勢判断を正当視する好意的評価や、矢野俊文による武田氏と国人領主の穴山や小山田の関係が連合政権であるとする立場から、滅亡に際して個別領主の立場から離反に至ったとする見解もある。
English: Tamenobu TSUGARU (January 28, 1550 - January 22, 1608) was a military commander in the period of warring states and a feudal lord in the early Edo period.
Japanese: 津軽為信（つがるためのぶ、1550年1月18日（天文_(元号)19年1月1日(旧暦)）-1608年1月22日（慶長12年12月5日(旧暦)））は、戦国時代(日本)の武将、江戸時代前期の大名。
English: His children included Nobutake TSUGARU (eldest son), Nobukata TSUGARU (second son), Nobuhira TSUGARU (third son), a daughter (the wife of Takehiro TSUGARU) and another daughter (the wife of Morihisa KANEKO).
Japanese: 子には津軽信建（長男）、津軽信堅（次男）、津軽信枚（三男）、娘（津軽建広室）、娘（兼子盛久室）。
English: There are various theories and legends concerning the origin of the Oura clan, but the predominant theory is that they were a local ruling family of the Nanbu clan.
Japanese: 大浦氏の出自には様々な説や伝承があるが、南部氏の豪族であるという説が最も有力である。
English: Because of discrepancies in the descriptions in the materials remaining on the Tsugaru clan and Nanbu clan sides, there are many unknowns in the career of Tamenobu.
Japanese: 為信の経歴は津軽氏側に残される資料と、南部氏側の資料との間で記述に食い違いがあるため、はっきりしない点が少なくない。
English: Materials on the Nanbu clan from old times suggest that Tamenobu was from a family of the Nanbu clan.
Japanese: 為信が、南部氏の一族であったという見方は南部氏側の資料に古くから存在する。
English: This document was sent from Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI, addressed to 'Nanbu ukyo no suke (Assistant Master of the Western Capital Offices),' and is presumed to have been intended for Tamenobu.
Japanese: その文書は豊臣秀吉から送られたもので、宛名は「南部右京亮（なんぶうきょうのすけ）」とあり、これは為信に宛てられたものであると推定されている。
English: Thus it is presumed that the Oura clan was a family of the Nanbu clan, as were the Mito clan, Hachinohe clan, etc.
Japanese: これは大浦氏が三戸氏、八戸氏等と同様に南部氏の一族であったと推定される。
English: In June 1571 (1581, according to another theory), he suddenly carried out an attack against Takanobu ISHIKAWA, the biological father of Nobunao NANBU (it is said that he forced Takanobu to commit suicide, but some say Takanobu survived).
Japanese: 元亀2年（1571年）（天正9年（1581年）説もある）、5月、突如として南部信直の実父石川高信を攻めた（このとき、高信を自害に追い込んだというが、高信は生き延びていたという説もある）。
English: Later, Tamenobu captured the Namioka-jo Castle of Akimura KITABATAKE called 'Imperial Palace of Namioka', succeeded in taking control of the Tsugaru region and parts of Sotogahama and Mekanobu by around 1588, and in 1590 he took part in the conquest and siege of Odawara headed by Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI and had his territory approved by Hideyoshi.
Japanese: その後、浪岡御所北畠顕村の浪岡城を攻め落とすなど、為信は天正16年（1588年）頃には津軽地方と外ヶ浜と糠部の一部を集中に収める事に成功し、天正18年（1590年）には豊臣秀吉の小田原征伐に参陣して、秀吉より所領を安堵された。
English: The Nanbu clan appealed to Hideyoshi, claiming that Tamenobu was a rebel in violation of the peace edict, but Tamenobu was approved his domain as he allowed to provide an explanation through Mitsunari ISHIDA.
Japanese: 南部氏は為信を惣無事令に違反する謀反人として秀吉に訴えたが、為信は石田三成を介して釈明が認められ、本領を安堵された。
English: It is believed that Tamenobu, hearing that Hideyoshi, Hidetsugu HASHIBA and Nobukatsu ODA all enjoyed falconry, sent them some falconine (a specialty of Tsugaru) to gain their affection as an acquaintance, which supposedly contributed to the approval of his main domain.
Japanese: これには、秀吉、羽柴秀次、織田信雄の三名とも鷹狩りを好んだことを聞きつけた為信が、津軽特産の鷹を贈って友誼を結んだことも本領安堵に繋がったと見られている。
English: Tamenobu remained close to Mitsunari thereafter, and some say that he later protected Mitsunari's second son Shigenari after the Battle of Sekigahara, and took Mitsunari's third daughterTatsuhime, who had been an adopted daughter of Kodaiin, as the wife of his son Nobuhira TSUGARU, as a token of gratitude.
Japanese: 以後も三成とは親密で、後年、関ヶ原の後に三成の次男重成を保護したり、高台院の養女になっていた三成の三女辰姫を息子の津軽信牧の妻に迎えているのは、それに対する報恩という説もある。
English: Additionally, based on the legend that Masanobu OURA was an illegitimate child of Hisamichi KONOE, Tamenobu became an adopted child of Sakihisa KONOE, the former chief advisor to the Emperor, and changed his original family name to the Fujiwara clan.
Japanese: また、大浦政信が近衛尚通の落胤だという伝承にちなみ、元関白近衛前久の猶子となり、本姓を藤原氏とした。
English: Subsequently, he rendered distinguished services in the Rebellion of Masazane KUNOHE suppression, the Bunroku-Keicho War, the Fushimi-jo Castle construction project, and so force.
Japanese: その後は九戸政実の乱の討伐や文禄・慶長の役、伏見城普請などに功績を挙げた。
English: In the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, he took part in the army along with his third son Nobuhira, because his territory was completely surrounded by the eastern army.
Japanese: 慶長5年（1600年）の関ヶ原の戦いでは領国の周囲がすべて東軍という状況から三男の信枚と共に、東軍として参加した。
English: However, his legitimate son Nobutake was in Osaka-jo Castle as a page to Hideyori TOYOTOMI, and when the western army was devastated, Nobutake returned to his province, bringing along Mitsunari's child Shigenari ISHIDA and others.
Japanese: しかし、嫡男の信建は豊臣秀頼の小姓衆として大坂城にあり、西軍が壊滅すると三成の子石田重成らを連れて帰国している。
English: Some believe that, according to these acts, Tamenobu aimed for survival by participating in both armies, like the Sanada clan.
Japanese: これらを考えると、つまりは真田氏らと同様の、両軍生き残り策を狙ったとも考える人もいる。
English: During the Battle of Sekigahara, there was a rebellion by his vassals in his domain and his residential castle was occupied, but when the news of the western army's defeat arrived, the rebels lost the will to fight and were hunted down (refer to the history of Ozaki-jo Castle for details).
Japanese: 関ヶ原の合戦中、国許では家臣反乱が起こり、居城を占拠されたが、西軍敗戦の報が伝わると反乱方は戦意喪失の上で追討されている（詳しくは尾崎城の歴史を参照）。
English: As the castle was occupied again later in a family feud, he began the construction of a new castle in Takaoka, located between the Iwaki-gawa and Tsuchibuchi-gawa rivers in 1603 (Takaoka later became Hirosaki City, and the castle is called Hirosaki-jo).
Japanese: その後も家中騒動にて城が占拠されたりなどしたため、慶長8年（1603年）には岩木川と土淵川に挟まれた高岡（鷹岡）に新城を着工した（のちに弘前市と改名、城は弘前城と呼ばれる）。
English: Tamenobu's legitimate son Nobutake, who served as his father's representative and considered to succeed his father, died before his father in November of 1607.
Japanese: 父の名代を務めるなど次代として確実視されていた嫡男の信建は、同年10月、父に先立ち死去していた。
English: As Tamenobu's second son had also passed away, third son Nobuhira succeeded Tamenobu, but the following year, the legitimate son of Nobutake, Kumachiyo TSUGARU (Okuma) backed by vassals on Nobutake's side such as Takehiro TSUGARU, claimed he was the legal successor to Tamenobu, which developed into a family feud over which arbitration was sought from the Edo shogunate governmenet (family feud of the Hirosaki domain).
Japanese: 為信の跡は三男・信枚（次男も既に死亡）が継いだものの、翌年信建の嫡男津軽熊千代（大熊）が津軽建広ら信建派の家臣に推されて為信の正嫡を主張し、江戸幕府に裁定を求めるお家騒動が勃発する（弘前藩お家騒動）。
English: His grave is located at Kakushu-ji Temple in Fujishiro, Hirosaki City, and is designated as a national important cultural property.
Japanese: 墓所は弘前市藤代にある革秀寺にあり、国の重要文化財に指定されている。
English: In front of the main entrance of the Hirosaki Culture Center, near the east gate of Hirosaki-jo Castle, there is a bronze statue of Tamenobu TSUGARU.
Japanese: 弘前城東門近くの弘前文化センター正面入口前には、津軽為信の銅像がある。
English: Until World War II, it was kept at the keep of Hirosaki-jo Castle, but removed for the metal delivery during the war and was restored to its current location in 2004.
Japanese: 第二次世界大戦までは弘前城本丸にあったが、戦時中の金属供出により撤去され、2004年に今の位置に復元された。
English: When his legitimate son Nobutake fell ill in Kyoto, Tamenobu, in spite of his own illness, visited Nobutake from Tsugaru to Kyoto accompanied by Nobuhiro, and died there.
Japanese: 嫡男信建が京で病に倒れた際、津軽にいた為信は、自身も病に陥っていたにもかかわらず、信枚を伴って京まで見舞いに訪れ、そのまま同地で没している。
English: Some say he wanted to say farewell to his children gathered, but others say he wanted to be seen by the good doctor whom Nobutake was seeing.
Japanese: 親子兄弟の最期の別れがしたかったから、という見解もあるが、信建が診察を受けていた名医に自分も診てもらいたかったからと言う説もある。
English: In any case, Nobutake died in November 1607 during his stay in Kyoto, and Tamenobu also died in Kyoto just two months later.
Japanese: いずれにせよその年の10月に信建は在京のまま死去し、その二ヵ月後に為信も京で死去した。
English: According to one theory, a place called Nagabashiri (literally, a long run) in Odate City, was named after the Oura troops who were defeated in the attack on Hinai and retreated in a line.
Japanese: 大館市の長走という地名は、大浦軍が比内攻めに敗退して列をなして引き上げていったことから名付けられたという説がある。
English: He was offended when he was blamed by Nagamasa ASANO and Toshiie MAEDA, who had switched their allegiance to Nobunao NANBU, for overthrowing the Nanbu families of his kin, and the relationships with both families became awkward.
Japanese: 南部信直と翻意だった浅野長政や前田利家に、同族の南部諸家を滅ぼしたことを咎められて立腹し、両家との仲が険悪になったという。
English: His father, Tadayoshi TORII, had served the TOKUGAWA clan since the clan called itself the MATSUDAIRA clan and he once worked as Okazaki magistrate and the like; Mototada had served as one of Ieyasu's aides since Ieyasu was Imagawa's hostage and called Takechiyo MATSUDAIRA.
Japanese: 父の鳥居忠吉は岡崎奉行などを務めた松平氏以来の老臣で、元忠も家康がまだ「松平竹千代」と呼ばれて今川氏の人質だった頃からの側近の一人である。
English: In the same year, as he injured his leg in the Battle of Mikatagahara and in the Battle of Suwahara-jo Castle, he had some difficulty in walking thereafter.
Japanese: 同年の三方ヶ原の戦いや諏訪原城合戦で足に傷を負い、以後は歩行に多少の障害を残す。
English: In 1582, during the Tenshojingo War, Hojo's detached force consisting of 10,000 men planned to attack Ieyasu from the rear, however, Ieyasu's 2,000 men, containing Mototada, drove them back and killed 300 of the Hojo force (the Battle of Kurokoma), and Mototada was given Gunnai region in Kai Province by Ieyasu, and became the lord of Tanimura-jo Castle.
Japanese: 天正10年（1582年）、天正壬午の乱で家康の背後を襲おうとした北条勢の別働隊10,000を鳥居元忠ら2,000が撃退し北条勢約300を討ち取り（黒駒合戦）、その後甲斐国郡内地方を家康より与えられ、谷村城の城主となる。
English: In 1585, in the Battle of Ueda, Mototada tried to defeat Masayuki SANADA, who communicated with Kagekatsu UESUGI, and attacked Ueda-jo Castle with Tadayo OKUBO and Chikayoshi HIRAIWA, leading 7,000 soldiers; however, they were repelled with great casualties.
Japanese: その後、天正13年（1585年）に上杉景勝へ通じた真田昌幸を討伐しようとした上田合戦では大久保忠世、平岩親吉と共に兵7,000を率いて上田城を攻撃するものの大きな損害を受け撃退される。
English: When Ieyasu surrendered to Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI and was transferred to the Kanto region, Mototada was given 40,000 koku in Yahagi, Shimosa Province (Yahagi Domain).
Japanese: 家康が豊臣秀吉に帰服して関東に移封されたとき、下総国矢作に4万石を与えられる（矢作藩）。
English: In 1600, Ieyasu, who had become one of the Gotairo (Council of Five Elders) in the Toyotomi government after Hideyoshi's death, led the troops as the head of warlords, insisting on the subjugation of Kagekatsu UESUGI, then was asked to be in charge of Fushimi-jo Castle.
Japanese: 慶長5年（1600年）には秀吉死後の豊臣政権において、五大老となっていた家康は会津の上杉景勝の征伐を主張し、諸将を率いて出兵すると、伏見城を預けられる。
English: During Ieyasu's absence, Mitsunari ISHIDA of Gobugyo (five major magistrates) and others raised an army against Ieyasu and fought a skirmish at Fushimi-jo Castle where Mototada held in with 1,800 soldiers (the Battle of Fushimi-jo Castle).
Japanese: 家康らの出陣中に五奉行の石田三成らが家康に対して挙兵すると、伏見城は前哨戦の舞台となり、元忠は1800人の兵力で立て籠もる（伏見城の戦い）。
English: Having prepared to die in the battle, Mototada continued fighting and was killed in a one-on-one battle against Shigetomo SUZUKI.
Japanese: 元忠は最初から玉砕を覚悟で戦い続け、鈴木重朝と一騎打ちの末に討ち死にした。
English: The floorboards of Fushimi-jo Castle have been kept in the following temples as the 'bloody ceiling': Yogen-in Temple, Hosen-in Temple, and Genko-an Temple in Kyoto City, and Kosho-ji Temple in Uji City.
Japanese: このときの伏見城の床板は、「血天井」として京都市の養源院をはじめ、宝泉院、正伝寺、源光庵、宇治市の興聖寺(宇治市)に今も伝えられている。
English: Ieyasu, lamented over his faithful vassal and also recognized Mototada's achievements, promoted Mototada's eldest son and heir Tadamasa TORII to the Yamagata domain 240,000-koku feudal lord.
Japanese: 家康は忠実な部下の死を悲しみ、その功績もあって嫡男の鳥居忠政は後に山形藩24万石の大名に昇格している。
English: Mototada served Ieyasu Tokugawa from his childhood and rendered a lot of distinguished services but never received a citation.
Japanese: 元忠は幼少の頃から徳川家康に仕えて幾度となく功績を挙げたが、感状をもらうことは無かった。
English: Although Ieyasu tried to give him a citation, Mototada refused it, saying a citation would be useful if only he served another lord, but as he could not think of any lord but Ieyasu, a citation was useless.
