The second nihongo|Battle of Azukizaka|小豆坂の戦い|Azukizaka no tatakai took place in 1564, when Tokugawa Ieyasu sought to combat the growing threat of the Ikkō-ikki, a sect of warrior monks who were strongly against samurai rule. The Ikki consisted of samurai, monks, and peasants, many of whom were vassals of Tokugawa. As the battle wore on, a number of these samurai switched sides, deciding that their feudal obligation to Tokugawa was stronger than their loyalty to the Ikki; it was only because of this that Tokugawa was able to win the battle.
