	Imagawa Yoshimoto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Imagawa Yoshimoto (今川義元, 1519-1560) was one of the leading daimyo (feudal lords) in Suruga Province along the Tokaido road, Japan.
		Yoshimoto spent some contemplative time as a monk, but returned to secular life, whereupon he slew his mother and brother-in-law.
		Yoshimoto Imagawa is also a playable character in the Koei action game Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends.

	Battle of Okehazama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In this battle, Oda Nobunaga defeated Imagawa Yoshimoto and established himself as one of the front-running warlords in the nationwide conflict that characterized the Sengoku period.
		The Imagawa army did not expect an attack, and were particularly not alert as a result of the incredible heat.
		Imagawa Yoshimoto, unaware of what had transpired, heard the noise and emerged from his tent shouting at his men to quit their drunken revelry and return to their posts.

	Imagawa Yoshimoto
		Imagawa Yoshimoto was the daimyô of Suruga and Tôtomi and Suruga from 1536 until 1560.
		Yoshimoto himself was said to have had the habit of shaving his eyebrows and flening his teeth in the manner of a Kyoto noble; one of his wives was of noble blood and is said to have assisted him in this area.
		Yoshimoto was clearly respected by his peers, and was often in the position of mediator - such as when Hôjô Ujiyasu requested he ask Takeda Shingen not to attack Kozuke as the Hôjô were preparing to do so.

	Imagawa Yoshimoto
		Imagawa Yoshimoto was the daimyô of Suruga and Tôtomi and, later, Mikawa Provinces until 1560.
		Yoshimoto emerged the victor and moved to consolidate his power with a marriage to Takeda Nobutora's sister in 1537.
		Yoshimoto's greatest gifts, however, lay within the political realm, and in 1545 he engineered a three way union between the Takeda, Hôjô, and Imagawa.

	DETARVER \| Nobunaga
		In 1542, Imagawa, supported by the Matsudaira, marched as far west as the Owari border, and was met by Oda Nobuhide and his younger brother Tsuda Nobumitsu at Azukizaka.
		Yoshimoto replied that he would be happy to help - so long as Hirotada was willing to send along his young son as a hostage.
		Imagawa's army had lost some of it's potency with the death of Sessai Choro in 1555 but Yoshimoto could call on the services of a young and skillful ally - Matsudaira Motoyasu, a man whose fate would prove inter-twined with that of Nobunaga.

		This left the Imagawa in a strong position, and Yoshimoto sent an army under his father's younger brother, Imagawa Sessai, to attack an Oda castle where Oda Nobuhiro, who was Nobuhide's eldest son and the new head of the Oda, lived.
		Because of this, Motoyasu and his men avoided the bloody Battle of Okehazama, fought near Kyoto, at which Imagawa Yoshimoto died and the Imagawa were defeated.
		By this time, the Imagawa land was completely absorbed within the Tokugawa sphere of influence, and the Imagawa clan became vassals of the Tokugawa, while the Uesugi too, maintained a strong alliance.

		In 1560, Imagawa Yoshimoto gathered an army of 20,000 to 40,000 men and started his march toward Kyoto, with the excuse of aiding the frail Ashikaga shogunate.
		Yoshimoto had decided to march his sizable army through Oda territory of Owari to reach Kyoto, the capital of Japan during the Sengoku era, and gain control of the land.
		Even after his lord Yoshimoto Imagawa was killed at the Battle of Okehazama, he kept fighting and even retrieved his lord's corpse.

	The Corners of History :: Japanese Historical Figures: Oda Nobunaga
		In 1560 a powerful regional aristocratic daimyo by the name of Imagawa Yoshimoto decided to rally his forces and march through Japan to take Kyoto thus he set out with an army of 25,000 from his home province of Tottomi, the Imagawa being situated to the east of the Oda.
		Yoshimoto didn't think anything about the "peasant samurai of Owari" or the "brat Nobunaga" and had it known that they were a force of 40,000.
		Yoshimoto, however, taking light of his victories set up camp with only a few thousand men defending him, the camp was set up at Okehazama.

		The game depicts a surprise attack by Oda Nobunaga's forces on Imagawa Yoshimoto's troops near Ohdaka Castle; as a result most of Imagawa's forces tend to be less mobile (a number of his forces can have their chit placed in the cup only on a single turn).
		Imagawa starts in the third castle, on the other side of the map, and the degree of his (crawling) progress towards Ohdaka Castle, the more distant one of the two others, is part of the victory conditions.
		Despite the unready state of Imagawa's troops, they vastly outnumber Kajikawa's force (the attack goes in at -7) and after defeating its attack, decide that this is all they have to be concerned about.

		In 1561, Motoyasu and his men marched on and captured the Imagawa fortress of Kaminojo, signalling to Nobunaga that Motoyasu was no longer loyal to the Imagawa.

	Dojo Himura - Basic History
		Imagawa Yoshimoto, the leader of the Imagawa, was one daimyo with an ambition to be Shogun, and in 1560 he marched towards Kyoto, taking advantage of the fact that the Hojo and Uesugi were busy fighting each other.
		Tokugawa Ieyasu took the frontier fort at Marune and all that stood between the Imagawa’s 25,000 men and victory was Nobunaga and his small army of 2000 soldiers.
		Yoshimoto was killed, and only realised at the last minute that the samurai who were attacking weren’t part of his own force who were the worse for drink.

	Oda Nobunaga's War at Okehazama 1560 versus Imagawa Yoshimoto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Oda Nobunaga was right; Imagawa Yoshimoto deliberately leaked the highly exaggerated number of his soldiers out to scare the Oda clan, and the official chronicler of the Imagawas put it down as was usual in medieval battle records to exaggerate numbers.
		Oda returned to Kiyosu carrying Imagawa Yoshimoto's head as souvenir (now don't think this was Oda Nobunaga's private sadism; every Japanese samurai always took the heads of his enemies in wars).
		Tokugawa Ieyasu had been Imagawa Yoshimoto's hostage for a decade or so (click here for story and pictures), and this hostage thing was the only reason why he fought for the Imagawas.
