From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maeba Yoshitsugu (前波 吉継; 1524 – February 11, 1574) was a samurai retainer beneath the clan of Asakura throughout the late Sengoku period of Feudal Japan. He was also known as Katsurada Nagatoshi (桂田 長俊).[1] He held the fortress of Kanegasaki in Siege of Kanegasaki (1570) against Oda Nobunaga.
After the defeat of the Asakura, Maeba defected to Nobunaga. He was killed in a revolt supported by Toda Nagashige in 1574.[1][2]
