Nobutora forced the members of the opposing party who had fled to him to seppuku, an act that drew the disapproval of his own people, and many of the Takeda officials left his service in protest.From then on, the relationship between the Takeda and the Imagavas became friendly, and Josimoto”s intercession helped to ensure that the daughter of the Kyoto aristocrat Sancho Kinjori was betrothed to Nobutora”s son, and Nobutora married his own daughter to Josimoto in 1533. Shōho and his party eventually emerged victorious and the young monk took his place as daimyo of the Imagavas as Imagava Josimoto. Nobutora”s decision may have been influenced by the fact that his former enemy, the Fukushima House in Suruga, supported his brother Shoho, who was also a monk. Nobutora decided to intervene in the crisis on the side of one of the candidates, the half-brother of the deceased daimyo – a young man who, in accordance with the custom of the time, was sent to a monastery at the time of Ujiteru”s accession to power, living in the temple of Zentokudzi under the monastic name of Shoho. The relationship between Takeda Nobutora and the Imagavas changed in 1532, when the Imagava daimyo, Imagava Ujiteru, died and the house leaders could not agree on a successor. After his birth, he was given the name Katsuchiyo (meaning ”victory for a thousand years”) by his father, who was in high spirits after his battlefield triumph. Although the Koyogunkan, the best-known Takeda history, places Singen”s birth on the day of the battle, he was actually born earlier, on 3 November, at the Sekisuji temple attached to the Yogaiyama fortress. Finally, on 23 November, the two armies clashed again at Kamijo Kawahara, resulting in Nobutora”s overwhelming victory, Fukushima Masashi and over 600 of his troops falling, and the army fleeing back to Suruga. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Takeda”s army fought bravely, clashing with the enemy in October, inflicting over 100 casualties, and then camped out against the more cautious Fukushima army, awaiting its movements. In 1521, the year immediately preceding the birth of Singen, Nobutora faced the greatest crisis of his career, when Fukushima Masasige of Suruga attacked his estates with a huge army of 15,000 men, against which Nobutora could only muster around 2,000. He allied himself with the leader of the landowners who opposed him, Oi Nobutaku, and married his daughter (Oi-dono, Oi-no-kata), who became Singen”s mother. His position at the head of the House of Takeda was immediately challenged by his uncle, Takeda Nobujosi, whose defeat was followed by a rebellion by the landowners of the province. Nobucuna”s son, Takeda Nobutora, succeeded his father in 1507, at the age of 14. Nobumasa retired in the Entoku period (1489-92), and the house and province were taken over by his eldest son, Takeda Nobucuna, defeating his younger brother Nobujōsō, who was his father”s favourite and also coveted the daimyo position. The restoration of the governor”s power was not achieved until the time of Takeda Nobumasa, who defeated the Atobe army and took the governorship in 1465. The Takeda were forced to leave the province for a time, and on their return by the grace of the shogun (1438) found that the deputy governor, the House of Atobe, had taken power. The House of Takeda was the governor (sugo) of Kai Province, but in 1416 Takeda Nobumicu became involved in the Uesugi Zensu rebellion and was defeated. His concubines were numerous, the most notable of whom was the daughter of Suva Jorisige (Suva-gorjonin), by whom his future heir, Takeda Katsujori (1546-1582), was born.
His second wife was the daughter of the aristocrat Sanjo Kinjori (Sanjo-no-kata), who bore him his first-born son, Takeda Josinobu (1538-1567). They married in 1533, but she died a year later. His first wife was Tomooki Tomooki, the daughter of the Cantonese Kanrei, Ógigajacu-Ueszugi.
