Ōkubo Tadataka

Ōkubo Tadataka (大久保 忠教) or Ōkubo Hikozaemon (大久保 彦左衛門, Japanese pronunciation: [oː.kɯ.bo (|) çi̥.ko.(d)za(ꜜ).e.moɴ], 1560 – 2 April 1639) was a Japanese warrior in the Sengoku and Edo periods. He was the eighth son of Ōkubo Tadakazu, a vassal of the Tokugawa clan. Tadataka wrote the Mikawa Monogatari (三河物語), a work he wrote for his descendants, telling the way a warrior should live, mixed with a chronicle of the accomplishments of the Tokugawa and Ōkubo clans.
