Ibaraki Nagataka

Japanese: 茨木長隆 - いばらぎ・ながたか

Years of birth: Years of birth and death unknown. A military commander during the Warring States period. A member of the Ibaraki clan, a local lord in Settsu. Immediately after the Battle of Katsura River in 1527, he returned to serve Hosokawa Harumoto and became his staff officer, and also served as his right-hand man, assisting the young Harumoto. It is believed that Nagataka was instrumental in defeating Miyoshi Motonaga in 1532, and then using the power of the Hokke Ikki to check the Ikko Ikki that rose up in revolt over the next year, and that in 1533, Harumoto was able to enter Kyoto. However, he was somewhat overwhelmed by the rise of Miyoshi Nagayoshi, the deputy governor of half of Settsu Province, and fell into decline when Harumoto was defeated by Nagayoshi in the Battle of Eguchi in June of the same year.

生年：生没年不詳
戦国時代の武将。摂津国人茨木氏の出身。大永7(1527)年桂川合戦の直後,細川晴元に帰参してその参謀となり,右筆を兼ねて若年の晴元を補佐した。天文1(1532)年に三好元長を倒し,次いで蜂起した一向一揆を翌年にかけて法華一揆の力で牽制,同3年に晴元が入京にこぎつけたのは長隆の功績と推定される。しかし摂津半国守護代三好長慶の台頭によって押され気味となり,同18年6月の江口合戦で晴元が長慶に敗れると没落した。
