The Battle of Suriagahara was a battle during the Azuchi-Momoyama period (16th century) of Japan.

The Battle of Suriagahara served as the aftermath of Kurokawa, in which Ashina Yoshihiro with his 16,000 men stole the moment to act revenge on their previous defeat at Kurokawa castle. Date Masamune, with his superior 23,000 troops, defeated Yoshihiro after a well fought battle on both sides.
