The Battle of KanÅguchi (åŠ ç´å£ã®æˆ¦ã„ KanÅguchi no Tatakai) was a battle during the Sengoku period (16th century) of Japan.
As part of the very long rivalry between Oda Nobuhide and SaitÅ DÅsan, along with DÅsan's defense of his position in Mino Province, they fought each other on the battlefield in KanÅguchi. Nobuhide, who was the father of the famous Oda Nobunaga, ended in defeat, with the loss of two of his very close relatives. Following Nobuhide's defeat, DÅsan's name greatly spread throughout Japan.
Peace was reached between the two clans when they made a deal for Nobunaga to marry NÅhime, DÅsan's daughter.
