The battle of Komaki, along with the battle of Nagakute which followed, was the climax of the conflict between the forces of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, two warlords who sought to conquer Japan at the end of the Sengoku period.
Following the fall of Inuyama castle, Mori Nagayoshi, an ally of Hideyoshi, marched towards Kiyosu. Tokugawa sent an army under Sakai Tadatsugu, and the two met at Komaki.
Despite fierce arquebus fire from Mori's men, Sakai succeeded at flanking and attacking Mori in the rear. Mori fled, having suffered 300 casualties.
