Portrait of Kitabatake Tomonori

Kitabatake Tomonori (北畠 具教, 1528 – December 15, 1576) was the lord of south Ise Province, who ruled from Kitabatake Shrine in Mie Prefecture. He learned swordsmanship from Tsukahara Bokuden and so was famous as a skilled swordsman.[1] His territory was invaded by Oda Nobunaga in 1569.[2] He surrendered and adopted Nobunaga’s second son Oda Nobukatsu.[1]

In 1576, Tomonori was killed by Oda Nobunaga's army during the siege of Mie.[1]
