English: "Koyo Gunkan" (record of the military exploits of the Takeda family, hereafter referred to as "Gunkan") describes the background of the birth of Katsuyori in detail, but the contents are questionable (according to Shunroku SHIBATSUJI).
Japanese: なお、『甲陽軍鑑』（以下『軍鑑』）では勝頼出生に至る経緯が詳細に記されているが、内容は疑問視されている（柴辻俊六による）。
English: The Suwa clan was in alliance with Takeda but it was destroyed in the days of Shingen, and there was supposedly a strong opposition among the Takeda family to receiving Goryonin SUWA, the mother of Katsuyori, as a concubine.
Japanese: 諏訪氏は武田と同盟関係であったが信玄の時代に滅ぼされ、母の諏訪御料人を側室に迎えることには武田家中でも根強い反対があったとも考えられている。

Japanese: 信玄は信濃侵攻を本格化し越後の上杉氏と対決し、永禄5年（1562年）には川中島の戦いにおいて信濃平定が一段落している。
English: In ruling Shinano, Shingen had a policy of having his children adopted by the ancient clan to achieve conciliation, and Morinobu NISHINA, Katsuyori's younger paternal half-brother, similarly succeeded the Shinano Nishina clan, joining Shinzoku shu (a group which consisted of siblings and relatives).
Japanese: 信玄は信濃支配において旧族に子女を入嗣させて懐柔する政策を取っており、勝頼の異母弟である仁科盛信も同様に信濃仁科氏を継承して親族衆となっている。
English: Katsuyori succeeded the family name of the Suwa family in July or August (June in old lunar calendar) in the same year, and changed his name to Suwa Shiro Katsuyori, by adopting the Suwa clan's tsuji (distinctive character used in the names of all people belonging to a single clan or lineage) "頼" (he did not succeed the Takeda clan's "信," which claims attention).
Japanese: 勝頼も同年6月に諏訪家の名跡を継ぎ、諏訪氏の通字である「頼」を名乗り諏訪四郎勝頼となる（武田氏の通字である「信」を継承していない点が注目される）。
English: According to "Gunkan," Katsuyori had eight vassals including Emonnojo ATOBE, and he joined the Shinzoku shu (a group which consisted of siblings and retainers) with Nobutoyo TAKEDA (the Kai-Takeda clan) and others.
Japanese: 『軍鑑』によれば勝頼は跡部右衛門尉ら8名の家臣団を付けられ、武田信豊(甲斐武田氏)らと共に親族衆に列せられている。

English: Even though no illustration of official duties are found, "Gunkan" states that he was "Ina gundai" (an intendant or administrator of Ina).
Japanese: 実際に職掌としての用例は見られないものの、『軍鑑』によれば勝頼は「伊那郡代」であったといわれる。
English: Specific circumstances of Katsuyori's ruling of Takato territory are unknown as there are only three documents on the subject, but it is considered that the region functioned as the territory of branch castle with independent supremacy.
Japanese: 勝頼期の高遠領支配は3点の文書が残されているのみで具体的実情は不明であるものの、独自支配権を持つ支城領として機能していたと考えられている。
English: In addition, the Buddhist service on the 16th anniversary of Goryonin SUWA's death held at Takato kenpuku-ji Temple, and dedication of bonsho (large temple bell) to Suwa Ninomiya ono-jinja Shrine in 1564 are part of his legacy.
Japanese: ほか、事跡として高遠建福寺で行われた諏訪御料人の十七回忌や、永禄7年（1564年）に諏訪二宮小野神社に梵鐘を奉納したことなどが見られる。
English: His uijin (first battle) was the Siege of Minowa-jo Castle in Ueno Province (also known as the Siege of Matsuyama-jo Castle in Musashi Province or the Siege of Musashi Province).

English: In 1565, according to "Gunkan," the vassals of Yoshinobu TAKEDA, his older paternal half-brother and the heir of the Takeda family, were executed for the conspiracy to assassinate Shingen, and Yoshinobu himself was confined (Yoshinobu incident, Yoshinobu died in 1567 in confinement).
Japanese: 永禄8年（1565年）、『軍鑑』に拠れば異母兄で武田家後継者であった武田義信の家臣らが信玄暗殺の密謀のため処刑され、義信自身も幽閉されている（義信事件、義信は幽閉された末、永禄10年（1567年）に死去）。
English: Around this time, Shingen changed the traditional strategy to advance northward, carrying out the invasion of Shinano and Tokai region in alliance with the Oda family, and there was a conflict between some of his vassals and the group of Yoshinobu whose wife was the daughter of the Imagawa clan.
Japanese: この頃信玄は従来の北進戦略を変更し、織田家と同盟して信濃侵攻や東海方面への侵攻を具体化しており、家臣団の中にも今川氏の娘を室とする義信派との対立があったという。
English: Nobuchika UNNO, Katsuyori's second older brother, entered into priesthood because he was born blind, and Nobuyuki TAKEDA, his third older brother, died young.
Japanese: 次兄の海野信親は生まれつきの盲目のために出家し、三兄の武田信之は夭逝している。
English: As the result, Shingen appointed Katsuyori as his successor, and March 1571, he was called back to Kofu, and his uncle Nobukado TAKEDA became the lord of Takato-jo Castle.
Japanese: そのため、勝頼が信玄の指名で後継者と定められ、元亀2年（1571年）2月には甲府へ召還され、叔父の武田信廉が高遠城主となっている。
English: He accomplished military exploits in the Siege of Takiyama-jo Castle in Musashi Province by the Gohojo clan in 1569, in the Battle of Minasetoge stemming from the Siege of Odawara-jo Castle in Sagami Province, and in the battle for the suppression of Suruga Province in 1570.

English: This virtually indicated that Shingen clarified that he had chosen Katsuyori as his successor.
Japanese: これは事実上、勝頼を後継者にすると信玄が明確にしたことを現すものであった。
English: In 1572, when Shingen started the strategy to conquer westward (There is a different version of the story, please refer to the Battle of Mikatagahara), he joined the battle as the commander of a troop, and accomplished military exploits again in the Battle of Mikatagahara in December by fighting against the Oda and Tokugawa allied forced and defeating them.
Japanese: 元亀3年（1572年）、信玄が西上作戦（異説あり。三方ヶ原の戦い参照）を開始すると、一隊の大将として参戦し、12月の三方ヶ原の戦いでも織田・徳川連合軍と戦い、これを破るという武功を挙げた。
English: Thus, he is said to have joined most of the large-scale battles in Shingen's later years and acquired military fame.
Japanese: このように信玄の晩年における主要な合戦の大半に参加して、武名を上げたといわれている。
English: In May or June (April in old lunar calendar), 1573, he reverted to the Takeda family name, took over as head of the family, and became the twentieth family head of the Takeda clan because Shingen died of illness during the operation of advancing to the capital (Kyoto).
Japanese: 元亀4年（1573年）4月、信玄が上洛作戦の途中で病死したため、武田姓に復し、家督を相続し、武田氏第20代当主となる。
English: However, due to Shingen's death, the operation of advancing to the capital (Kyoto) was set back and Katsuyori withdrew his troops to Kai, his home ground.
Japanese: しかし信玄の死去により上洛作戦は頓挫し、勝頼は本拠地・甲斐に軍勢を撤退させた。
English: Nobunaga exiled Yoshiaki ASHIKAGA, the Seii Taishogun of the Muromachi shogunate, who was the power broker in the anti-Nobunaga network, to Kawachi Province.
Japanese: そして信長は信長包囲網の黒幕である室町幕府征夷大将軍・足利義昭を河内国に追放。

Japanese: また家康も武田氏に従っていた三河国山間部の山家三方衆の内奥平貞能・奥平信昌親子を寝返らせるなど、信玄存命中は守勢一方であった織田・徳川連合軍の逆襲が始まった。
English: To counter this, Katsuyori aggressively sent his troops outside the province for the purpose of gaining greater power than his father.
Japanese: これに対して勝頼は、父以上の勢力拡大を目指して積極的な外征を実施する。
English: In March 1574, he invaded the Oda territory in Higashi (east) Mino Province and took Akechi-jo Castle by storm.
Japanese: 天正2年（1574年）2月、東美濃の織田領に侵攻し、明智城を落とした。
English: Nobunaga tried to go to Akechi-jo Castle with his heir Nobutada ODA for rear guard (reinforcement), but he withdrew to Gifu because Katsuyori had already taken Akechi-jo Castle by storm.
Japanese: 信長は嫡男・織田信忠と共に明智城の後詰（援軍）に出陣しようとしたが、それより前に勝頼が明智城を落としたため、信長は岐阜に撤退した。
English: In June or July (June in old lunar calendar) 1574, he virtually suppressed Higashi Totomi by invading the Tokugawa territory, taking control of Takatenjin-jo Castle, the strong fortress, which Shingen could not take control of, and removing Nobuoki OGASAWARA, the general of the guards of the castle, from power (the Battle of Takatenjin-jo Castle).
Japanese: 6月、遠江国の徳川領に侵入し、信玄が落とせなかった遠江の堅城・高天神城を陥落させて城将・小笠原信興を降し、東遠江をほぼ平定した（高天神城の戦い）。

Japanese: 天正3年（1575年）、勝頼は先年徳川家康に寝返った奥平親子を討伐するために兵1万5000（一説には8000から1万）を率いて三河国へ侵入した。
English: However, as Nagashino-jo Castle where the Okudaira group was putting up a strong battle resisted the fierce attack of the Takeda forces, it took longer for Katsuyori to capture Nagashino-jo Castle than he had expected.
Japanese: しかし、奥平勢が善戦する長篠城は武田軍の猛攻を支え、長篠城攻略に予想外の時間を費やすこととなる。
English: And finally, the Oda and Tokugawa allied forces of approximately 38,000 (Note: The Oda forces of 12,000 and the Tokugawa forces of 4,000, according to one theory) reached Nagashino (Shitaragahara), and started to build a camp fortress including horse-blocking fences.
Japanese: そして、遂に織田信長・徳川家康の連合軍およそ3万8000（注：一説には織田軍1万2000、徳川軍4000）が長篠（設楽ヶ原）に到着し、馬防柵を含む陣城の構築を開始した。
English: To counter this, Katsuyori advanced to Shitaragahara with the main force of 12,000 (6,000, according to one theory) to confront the Oda and Tokugawa allied forces, leaving 3,000 soldiers to keep Nagashino-jo Castle under control.
Japanese: これに対し、勝頼は長篠城の抑えに兵3000を残し、主力1万2000（一説に兵6000）を率いて設楽ヶ原へ進出し、織田・徳川連合軍と対峙する。
English: In those days, warriors in Koshu were said to be strong and they had a victory in a minor battle the day before the final battle of Nagashino, which raised their morale.
Japanese: 当時、甲州兵は強兵といわれ、また長篠決戦前日の小規模な戦闘で勝利していたこともあり、武田軍の士気は旺盛であった。
English: But Shingen's advisors who felt that it was no longer an open battle but rather a siege (in a siege, troop strength makes a difference) proposed withdrawal.
Japanese: しかし、もはや野戦ではなく、むしろ攻城戦に近い状況（攻城戦はより単純な兵力差が影響する）を感じ取った信玄以来の重鎮たちは撤退を進言したという。
English: Yet, Katsuyori chose to have a final battle with Oda and Tokugawa, and the battle was to start early in the morning of July 10.
Japanese: しかし、勝頼は織田・徳川との決戦を選択し、5月21日早朝に開戦することとなった。
English: Takeda forces, smaller in number, fought a good fight but soldiers including Masakage YAMAGATA and Masatsugu TSUCHIYA fell victim to the defense troops of the allied forces.

English: It is said that in this defeat, more than 10,000 soldiers of Takeda forces were killed or injured (according to one theory, 1,000 of the Takeda forces and 600 of the Oda and Tokugawa allied forces).
Japanese: この敗北で、武田軍は1万人以上もの死傷者（一説には武田家1000、織田徳川連合軍600の損害）を出したといわれている。
English: According to one theory, Katsuyori withdrew miserably, protected by only several soldiers on horseback.
Japanese: 勝頼自身の退却も、一説によれば僅か数騎に護られただけという惨めなものであったといわれている。
English: Counterattack by Nobunaga ODA and Ieyasu TOKUGAWA became more aggressive now that the Takeda forces had suffered a defeat in the Battle of Nagashino, losing many powerful military commanders and causing a disturbance in the territory.
Japanese: 長篠の戦いで敗北を喫し多くの有力武将を失い領国の動揺をも招いた武田に対し、織田信長・徳川家康の反攻は更に積極的になる。
English: After the Battle of Nagashino, when Takeda was barred from Mikawa, the Oda forces having Nobunaga's heir Nobutada who had Nobunaga's order, as the supreme commander, took control of Iwamura-jo Castle in Higashi Mino Province and Katsuyori lost Nobutomo AKIYAMA, the general of the guards of the castle.
Japanese: 長篠合戦後、三河から武田方が締め出されたのを皮切りに、信長の下命を受けた嫡男・信忠を総大将とした織田軍によって東美濃国の岩村城を陥落させられ、城将である秋山信友を失った。
English: In 1577, he formed an alliance with Kenshin UESUGI who was an old enemy during the era of Shingen.
Japanese: 天正5年（1577年）、信玄期の宿敵であった上杉謙信と同盟を結んだ。
English: In the same year, he received Ujimasa HOJO's sister as his second wife (Fujin TOYAMA died after the birth of Nobukatsu) to strengthen the Koso Alliance (an alliance between the Takeda clan in the Kai Province and the Hojo clan in Sagami Province).
Japanese: また同年、甲相同盟を強化するため、北条氏政の妹を継室（遠山夫人は信勝出産後死去）として迎えた。
English: In 1578, when Kenshin UESUGI died of illness in Echigo, Otate War broke out between the two adopted sons of Kenshin, Kagetora UESUGI (formerly Saburo HOJO) and Kagekatsu UESUGI (Kenshin's nephew) over the succession to family headship.
Japanese: 翌天正6年（1578年）、越後で上杉謙信が病死すると、謙信の二人の養子である上杉景虎（旧名・北条三郎）と上杉景勝（謙信の甥）との間で家督を巡り御館の乱が起こる。
English: Katsuyori dispatched troops to Echigo in an attempt to intervene at the request for support from Kagetora, who was a younger brother of Ujimasa HOJO (a distant relative, according to one theory) and had been adopted out to Uesugi from Hojo.
Japanese: 勝頼は北条氏政の弟（遠縁との説もある）であり北条から上杉に養子として出されていた景虎の支援を要請されて越後への出兵を行い調停を試みた。
English: But he changed his diplomatic policies and shifted to support Kagekatsu (the Koetsu Alliance (an alliance between the Takeda clan in Kai Province and the Uesugi clan in Echigo Province)) by marrying his daughter Kikuhime off to Kagekatsu.
Japanese: しかし、外交方針を転換して、妹の菊姫を景勝に輿入れさせ、景勝の支持にまわった（甲越同盟）。
English: The Takeda family made peace with Kagekatsu and left Echigo, which resulted in Kagekatsu's victory in the war, and Kagetora committed suicide,
Japanese: 武田家が景勝と和睦し越後を去った結果、戦いは景勝が勝ち、景虎は自害した。
English: Through the formation of the Koetsu Alliance (an alliance between the Takeda clan in Kai Province and the Uesugi clan in Echigo Province), Kagekatsu acquired Numata territory in Higashi Ueno, while it caused the dissolution of the Koso Alliance (an alliance between the Takeda clan in the Kai Province and the Hojo clan in Sagami Province).
Japanese: 甲越同盟の成立は東上野において沼田領が獲得できたものの、同時に甲相同盟の解消を招いた。
English: As a result, Katsuyori formed an allegiance with the Satake clan in Hitachi Province because he clashed with Oda in the west and at the same time needed a countermeasure against Hojo (the Kosa Allegiance (an allegiance between the Takeda clan in Kai Province and the Satake clan in Hitachi Province)).
Japanese: そのため、勝頼は西の織田と対決すると同時に北条対策が必要になり、常陸国の佐竹氏との連携をはかっている（甲佐同盟）。
English: It is said that the lords in Togoku (the eastern part of Japan, particularly the Kanto region) criticized Katsuyori, saying "Katsuyori was lost in his immense ambition this time and took a wrong way of following through his sense of duty" ("Odawara hojo ki" (the diary of he Odawara hojo clan)).
Japanese: この話を聞いた東国諸侯は「勝頼はこのたび大欲にふけって、義理の通し方を間違えた」と勝頼をそしったという（「小田原北条記」）。
English: After the fall of the Takeda family, Rakushu became popular among the general public, which read "It is ruthless to destroy a province, being blinded by gold when his prosperity is not permanent as everything else."
Japanese: また武田滅亡後に庶民の間で「無情やな　国を寂滅（じゃくめつ）　することは　越後の金の　諸行なりけり」という勝頼を嘲る落首がはやったという。
English: In 1581, Takatenjin-jo Castle ran into difficulty due to the attack by the Tokugawa forces (the Battle of Takatenjin-jo Castle), and Katsuyori could no longer deliver reinforcements.
Japanese: 天正9年（1581年）、徳川軍の攻撃によって高天神城は窮地に陥るが（高天神城の戦い）、もはや勝頼には後詰することが出来なかった。
English: The surrender of Takatenjin-jo Castle damaged the dignity of the Takeda family and Kokujin-shu (local samurais) were highly disturbed.
Japanese: 高天神城落城は武田家の威信を大きく下げることとなり、国人衆は大きく動揺した。
English: From then on, there were more cases of conspiracy from Ota and Tokugawa, and Ichimonshu (clansman) at odds with the Takeda family and opportunistic Kokujin (local samurais) started to rise in rebellion.
Japanese: これを境に織田・徳川からの調略が激しくなり、日頃から不仲な一門衆や日和見の国人の造反も始まることになる。
English: To prepare for the Oda and Tokugawa allied forces that would carry out an attack in the near future, Katsuyori built Shinpujo-Castle in Nirasaki which was stronger than Tsutsujigasaki-yakata (Tsutsujigasaki Mansion) for the purpose of solidifying the defense and reorganizing Takeda's army.
Japanese: 勝頼は、近い将来攻め込んでくるであろう織田・徳川連合軍への備えのため、躑躅ヶ崎館より強固な韮崎の地に新府城を築城して防備を固めるとともに、武田軍団の再編成を目指した。
English: However, he had to levy war funds on Kokujin-shu (local samurais) under him for that purpose, and ironically it ended up in touching off a rebellion.
Japanese: しかし、そのために膨大な軍資金を支配下の国人衆に課すことになり、皮肉にも却って国人衆の造反を招く結果となった。
English: Some people attribute the rebellion of Kokujin-shu to Katsuyori's policies aiming for centralization.
Japanese: なお国人衆の反発は勝頼の中央集権化を目指した政策に原因があるとする意見もある。
English: In March or April (February in old lunar calendar) 1582, Yoshimasa KISO, Shingen's adopted son-in-law and a maternal relative, switched sides to Nobunaga ODA because he was unhappy about the increased burden for the construction of Shipu-jo Castle.
Japanese: 天正10年（1582年）2月には、信玄の娘婿で外戚の木曾義昌が新府城築城のための負担増大への不満から織田信長に寝返る。
English: Katsuyori was enraged at the maternal relative Yoshimasa KISO's treason, and immediately sent out troops for subjugation of Kiso.
Japanese: 勝頼は外戚の木曾義昌の反逆に激怒し、即座に木曾討伐の軍勢を送り出した。
English: In the meantime, Nobutada ODA invaded from Ina, Nagachika KANAMORI from Hida Province, Ieyasu TOKUGAWA from Suruga Province and Ujinao HOJO from Kanto and Izu Province into Takeda territory (Subjugation of Takeda).
Japanese: その間に織田信忠が伊奈方面から、金森長近が飛騨国から、徳川家康が駿河国から、北条氏直が関東及び伊豆国から武田領に侵攻してくる（武田征伐）。
English: Nobukado TAKEDA, Katsuyori's uncle, fled to Kai, deserting Oshima-jo Castle, his residence, which was a pivot of the defensive battle against Oda and Tokugawa, and at Ina-jo Castle in Shinano, as the Oda forces were approaching, the chief retainer ousted Nobuuji SHIMOJO, the lord of the castle, and received the Oda forces.
Japanese: 勝頼の叔父・武田信廉は在城する対織田・徳川防戦の要であった大島城を捨て甲斐に敗走し、信濃伊那城においては織田軍が迫ってくると城主・下条信氏が家老によって追放され、織田軍を自ら迎え入れてしまった。
English: Nobumine OGASAWARA, the lord of Matsuo-jo Castle in Shinano, Nobushige ASHIDA, the lord of Tanaka-jo Castle in Suruga Province, and others surrendered without fighting before the invasion of the Oda and Tokugawa allied forces.
Japanese: 信濃松尾城主の小笠原信嶺、駿河国田中城主の蘆田信蕃らも織田・徳川連合軍の侵攻を前に戦わずして降伏する。
English: Furthermore, even Nobukimi ANAYAMA, the heavy weight of the Takeda family gave up on Katsuyori and pledged to yield allegiance to Nobunaga ODA through Ieyasu TOKUGAWA.
Japanese: さらに武田一族の重鎮である穴山信君までも勝頼を見限り、徳川家康を介して織田信長に服属を誓った。
English: The officers and men who received this information came to distrust other human beings, and the ones that had became skeptical deserted Katsuyori and ran off continuously whenever they had a chance.
Japanese: この情報に接した武田軍の将兵は人間不信を起こし、疑心暗鬼に苛まれた将兵は勝頼を見捨て、隙を見ては次々と逃げ出したのである。
English: Takato-jo Castle where Morinobu NISHINA, Katsuyori's younger brother took refuge was the only one that resisted at all.
Japanese: 唯一、抵抗らしい抵抗を見せたのは勝頼の弟である仁科盛信が籠城する高遠城だけであった。
English: Yoritoyo SUWA, a member of the SUWA family that Katsuyori' mother had come from was said to have been" ill-treated by Katsuyori," but he would not listen to the opinions of his vassals who were trying to capitalize on the subjugation of Takeda to restore the Suwa family, and died in the Battle of Toriitoge.
Japanese: また母の実家である諏訪家の一門諏訪頼豊は「勝頼から冷遇されていた」と言われているにも関わらず、武田征伐に乗じて諏訪家再興をしようとする家臣の意見を聞かずに鳥居峠の戦いで戦死している。
English: Nobushige OYAMADA, a powerful Kokujin (local samurai) and Ichimonshu (clansman) of Kai Province, and Masayuki SANADA, Kokujin of Shinano Province announced that they would accept Katsuyori.
Japanese: 甲斐の有力国人で一門衆の小山田信茂と、信濃国人である真田昌幸が、勝頼を受け入れることを表明した。
English: Katsuyori chose Iwadono-jo Castle, the residential castle of Nobushige OYAMADA, Kokujin of Kai Province because it was in Takeda family' domain (According to one theory, the residential castle of the Oyamada clan was Tanimura-jo Castle and Iwaki-jo Castle located in the territory of the Oyamada family was under the direct control of the Takeda family).
Japanese: 勝頼が選んだのは武田家の本領である甲斐国人・小山田信茂の居城である岩殿城であった（注：小山田氏の居城は谷村城で、岩殿城は小山田領内の武田家直轄の城であるという説もある）。
English: But Nobushige who had changed his policy surrendered to Nobunaga ODA, and Katsuyori was hemmed in.
Japanese: しかし、信茂は織田信長に投降することに方針を変換し、勝頼は進路をふさがれた。
English: Chased by Kazumasu TAKIGAWA's pursuer with no place to run to, Katsuyori's party headed to Tenmoku-zan Mountain, a place remembered in connection with the Takeda clan.
Japanese: 後方からは滝川一益の追手に追われ、逃げ場所が無いことを悟った勝頼一行は武田氏ゆかりの地である天目山を目指した。
English: However, he was captured on the way in Tano, and committed suicide with his heir Nobukatsu and his legal wife Fujin HOJO (Subjugation of Takeda).
Japanese: しかし、その途上の田野でついに追手に捕捉され、嫡男の信勝や正室の北条夫人とともに自害した（武田征伐）。
English: Later on, Ieyasu TOKUGAWA had Keitoku-in Temple built as a family temple, where Bodhi is enshrined with Nobukatsu, the heir and Fujin HOJO, the legal wife.
Japanese: 後に徳川家康により菩提寺として景徳院が建てられ、嫡男の信勝や正室の北条夫人と共に菩提が祭られている。
English: The Takeda family that was restored after the Edo period was the genealogy of Nobuchika UNNO (Ryoho), Katsuyori's second older brother who had entered into priesthood due to his blindness.
Japanese: 江戸以降に再興する武田家は勝頼の兄で盲目のため出家していた次兄・海野信親（竜宝）の系譜である。
English: Katsuyori who took over the enlarged territory of the era of Shingen held the office for a short time but the amount of the remaining documents is second to those of the era of Shingen.
Japanese: 信玄期の拡大領国を継承した勝頼は在治期間は短いものの信玄期に次ぐ残存文書が残されている。
English: Sengoku daimyo (Japanese territorial lord in the Sengoku period) Takeda clan's license with a seal was created in the era of Nobutora, and during the era of Harunobu (Shingen) license with a read seal with a dragon engraved was created and established as a family symbol.
Japanese: 戦国大名武田氏の印判状は信虎期に創始され、晴信（信玄）期に竜朱印状が創始され家印として定着た。
English: The documents issued during the era of Katsuyori followed the system of the Shingen era, but it is pointed out that the ratio of license with a red seal with a dragon engraved was high.
Japanese: 勝頼期の発給文書は信玄期の方式を踏襲しているが、特徴として竜朱印状の比率が高いことが指摘される。
