Hosokawa Fujitaka (1534–1610)

Born 1534 CE, died 1610 CE.

Hosokawa Fujitaka (細川 藤孝; June 3, 1534 – October 6, 1610), also known as Hosokawa Yūsai (細川 幽斎; Japanese pronunciation: [ho.soꜜ.ka.wa | jɯꜜː.sai, ho.so.ka.wa jɯꜜː.sai]), was a Japanese daimyō and prominent samurai lord of the Sengoku period. A former senior retainer of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the fifteenth and final Ashikaga shōgun, Fujitaka later aligned with Oda Nobunaga. As a reward for his service to the Oda clan, he was granted the fief of Tango Province. He subsequently rose to prominence as one of the Oda's leading generals, playing a strategic role in Nobunaga's campaigns.
