Takeda Nobukado (武田 信廉, 1529–1582) was a Japanese samurai warrior of the Sengoku period. He was known as one of the "Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda Shingen".[1] He is also well known as a painter.[2]
It has been said that Nobukado and Shingen were as like as two peas therefore he served as body double for Shingen.[2]
When Nobunaga attacked Oshima castle Nobukado was defending, Nobukado escaped from the castle without fighting but he ended up being captured and beheaded.[1]
