Date Sanemoto (伊達 実元; DAH-tay; 1527 – 1587) was a Japanese samurai and commander during the Sengoku period. He was the third son of Date Tanemune.[1] His son, Date Shigezane, was also an important vassal of the Date clan.[2]
Date Tanemune tried to adopt him into the Uesugi clan and had already agreed with the Uesugi clan on the plan.[3] However, some of his vassals opposed this decision, leading to the Tenbun Conflict.[1] As a result, the adoption plan failed.[3]
In 1583, Sanemoto relinquished the family head position to Date Shigezane and retired to Hatchōme Castle.[4]
