The Takeda Clan (武田氏, Takeda-shi) was a Japanese samurai clan active from the late Heian period until the late 16th century. The clan was historically based in Kai Province in present-day Yamanashi Prefecture.[1][2] The clan reached its greatest influence under the rule of Takeda Shingen, one of the most famous rulers of the period.
