Akechi Mitsuhide (Ã÷ÖÇ ¹âÐã Akechi Mitsuhide, October 19, 1528 ¨C July 2, 1582), nicknamed Jubei, was a samurai who lived during the Sengoku period of Feudal Japan. He was a general under Daimyo Oda Nobunaga, although he later betrayed Nobunaga and caused him to commit seppuku. Born in Mino province (now Gifu prefecture) as a descendant of the shugo Toki clan, Mitsuhide began serving Nobunaga after Nobunaga's conquest of Mino province in 1566 and received Sakamoto (in Omi, 100,000 koku) in 1571. Although Nobunaga rarely put too much trust in his retainers, he particularly trusted Katsuie Shibata, Hideyoshi Hashiba and Mitsuhide Akechi. After Mitsuhide received Sakamoto he moved to pacify the Tamba region by defeating several clans such as the Tango and the Isshiki.
