Nakagawa Shigemasa

Nakagawa Shigemasa (中川重政) was a retainer (an individual indebted to a lord in feudal times, similar to a vassal) for the Japanese Oda clan during the Sengoku period (16th century) in Japan. Shigemasa was considered a somewhat prominent general under the Oda clan, spending his time fighting Shibata Katsuie over land. When his brother slew Katsuie's deputy official, Shigemasa was expelled.
