Jinbo Nagamoto

(?-1572?) was a Japanese daimyo of the Sengoku period, who was the last lord of the Jinbo clan. He is most remembered for almost constant warfare with Shiina Yasutane, and their rivalry has been compared to that of Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin. Much like Shingen and Kenshin, they met once in personal armed combat in 1554 during the battle of Imizu. During the combat, Nagamoto struck Yasutane across the jaw with his sword, permanently disfiguring him. When the Shiina generals ordered Nagamoto chased down and captured, he was assisted in his escape from the battlefield by his page, Chiba Kazusa.
