Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Shibata Katsuie are but three of the movers and shakers of Japanese history who fought shoulder to shoulder at Nagashino and then went on to fight each other with the lessons of Nagashino having been learned dramatically at first hand.
Hideyoshi fell upon him before he had a chance to erect any form of field fortifications, and soon his entire army was defeated.
Their territories met in Owari province, formerly the Oda heartlands, and it was the way in which their antagonism was resolved that was to show the most dramatic influence from the Nagashino experience.

 Saipan
Much of this defensive posture and 'hold the beach' doctrine was also probably due to the aggressiveness of the Japanese leaders and the fact that the men on Saipan had so little time to prepare a defense in depth may have driven Obata to order the defense to initially focus on the beaches instead.
It is important to note that at this time, Obata was not present on Saipan and was instead in the Palau Islands.
Perhaps if Obata had been present, the indications that the invasion had started would have been recognized by the Japanese.
