Kaganoi Shigemochi (1561-1600) was a retainer beneath the clan of Oda throughout the latter Sengoku Period of Feudal Japan. While under respective service to Oda Nobunaga, Shigemochi became vassal to the former's second son, Nobuo, and held Mino province's Kaganoi castle. By the year of 1584, Shigemochi would advance on the battlefield of Komaki under the standard of his lord, continuing in like-manner within the conflict's extension: Nagakute. As Toyotomi Hideyoshi had petitioned for peace with the Tokugawa in 1585 out of consequence to his defeat at the Komaki Campaign the former year, by some variable means Shigemochi willingly chose to become retainer to the Toyotomi after such a proposal was agreed upon, serving them until his passing in the year of 1600.
