 * Kai Province was controlled by the powerful Takeda clan during the Sengoku period. The Takeda fought numerous battles with the Uesugi clan of Echigo and Imagawa of Suruga, and under the warlord Takeda Shingen, extended their control over Shinano and Suruga. However, under Takeda Katsuyori, the clan was destroyed by a coalition led by Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Nobunaga assigned the province to his retainer, Kawajiri Hidetaka, but on Nobunaga’s assassination, the province was re-assigned by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to Hashiba Hidekatsu, followed by Kato Mitsuyasu, Asano Nagamasa and Asano Yukinaga – all strong Toyotomi loyalists intended to keep close watch over the growing power of Tokugawa Ieyasu in Edo. Following the Battle of Sekigahara and the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate, Kai Province was taken over directly by Tokugawa Ieyasu. Kai was regarded as strategically important to the defense of Edo due to its position between the Tōkaidō and Nakasendō highways, which were connected through Kai Province by the Kōshū Kaidō.
