Obu Toramasa (飯富 虎昌), known as the "Wild Tiger of Kai", was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku period, who served the Takeda clan. He was the tutor of Takeda Shingen's younger brother Takeda Nobushige. He later betrayed Shingen with Shingen's eldest child, the rebellious Takeda Yoshinobu.

He was known as one of the "Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda Shingen".
