Sakai Tadatsugu
Sakai Tadatsugu (酒井忠次; 1527 – 17 December 1596) was a military commander who served Tokugawa Ieyasu in the late Sengoku period as the highest-ranking general in the Tokugawa clan along with Ishikawa Kazumasa. Tadatsugu is also regarded as one of the Four Guardians of the Tokugawa (Tokugawa-Shitennō), along with Honda Tadakatsu, Ii Naomasa, and Sakakibara Yasumasa. He is also included as one of the Tokugawa 16 divine generals (Tokugawa jūrokushinshō). His official title was Sakai Saemon-no-jo Tadatsugu.
Tadatsugu was also allegedly involved in the conspiracy that caused the death of Lady Tsukiyama and her son, Matsudaira Nobuyasu.
Tadatsugu was born in 1527 to Sakai Tadachika, a hereditary vassal of the Matsudaira clan of Mikawa Province. At some point, Tadatsugu was ordered by Imagawa Yoshimoto to attack Tada Yasumitsu, an uncle-in-law of Matsudaira Hirotada. Tadatsugu managed to seize the castles in Yasumitsu's possession at Imahashi and Tawara.
At some point during Tadatsugu's life, Oda Nobuhide, father of Oda Nobunaga, invaded and besieged Ida castle in Mikawa. Tadatsugu and Naitō Nobunari were reportedly sallied out, fighting Nobuhide's army to defend the castle.
It is said that after Hirotada's death, in 1551 Tadatsugu served young Ieyasu and was a hostage in Sunpu.[citation needed]
In 1556, according to the records from Tosho Gunkan, Tadatsugu defended Fukutani castle, which was besieged by 2,000 cavalry troops of the Oda clan led by Shibata Katsuie. Tadatsugu repelled the invaders by leading a sallying force outside the castle to engage Katsuie's troops. During this battle, Watanabe Yoshitsuna, maternal grandfather of Watanabe Moritsuna, fought under the command of Tadatsugu and manage to kill Katsuie's general Hayakawa Tōta with a bow.
In 1558, Tadatsugu accompanied Ieyasu in the Siege of Terabe.[citation needed]
