The Siege of Kakegawa was one of the first campaigns of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Battle[]
The Matsudaira Clan invaded Suruga Province to conquer the Imagawa Clan, weakened from defeat at the Battle of Okehazama. Now that its defenses were crumbling, the Imagawa sought aid from the Asahina Clan. The two clans, outnumbered, were clearly losing by the time the battle began. The Tokugawa stormed the castle, Ujizane surrendering after talks of peace in trade for the regaining of Imagawa territory in Suruga.
