九鬼嘉隆と織田信長


九鬼嘉隆(1542–1600)は、伊勢志摩の覇権を争う海賊衆13氏族の1氏の頭領でしたが、他家からの攻撃によって先祖から受けついだ土地を追われました。その後、天下統一を目指す有力な戦国大名、織田信長(1534–1582)へと紹介されました。1570年頃、信長の軍勢に加わった嘉隆は水軍司令官に任命され、信長の重要な戦いの多くに参加しました。嘉隆の武功の中でも、長島一向一揆を平定したことと、第二次木津川口の戦いで自ら設計した鉄甲砲船で敵艦隊を撃破したことは特に良く知られています。

多くの功績により、先祖代々の土地である鳥羽の領有を許された嘉隆は、信長が1582年に亡くなるまで織田家に仕えました。


Kuki Yoshitaka and Oda Nobunaga


Kuki Yoshitaka (1542–1600) was the head of one of 13 pirate families vying for control of the Ise-Shima region, until a rival’s attack forced him to flee his ancestral home. He was then introduced to Oda Nobunaga (1534–1582), a powerful warlord campaigning to unify Japan. Around 1570, Yoshitaka joined Nobunaga’s forces, was appointed naval commander, and participated in many critical battles in his campaign. Among Yoshitaka’s notable achievements was the successful blockade of Nagashima, as well as a victory over an enemy fleet at the second Battle of Kizugawaguchi using iron-plated gunships of his own design.

For his numerous accomplishments, Yoshitaka was granted control of his ancestral home, Toba, and served Nobunaga until the lord’s death in 1582.
