Mori Nagataka (森長隆)

Nagataka MORI (1566 - July 1, 1582) was one of Nobunaga ODA's bodyguards. He was Yoshinari MORI's fourth son and a younger brother of Nagayoshi MORI and Naritoshi MORI (also known as Ran MORI or Ranmaru MORI). He was also Nagauji MORI's elder brother. His nickname was Bomaru.

During the Honnoji Incident in 1582, he fought to protect Nobunaga as his bodyguard but was killed in the battle. His posthumous Buddhist name was Yugetsushutoku Koji. His grave is in Amada-ji Temple (Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City).
