About Ban Naoyuki

  • Ban Naoyuki (? ??, 1567 – May 26, 1615), also known as Ban Dan'emon (? ????), was a Japanese samurai general of the late Sengoku and early Edo periods.
  • He first served as a retainer of Kato Yoshiaki, one of the "Seven Spears of Shizugatake", who went on to become lord of the Aizu domain, in Mutsu.
  • Naoyuki served Lord Kato as a gunnery commander (teppo-taisho).
  • Naoyuki followed his lord during the invasion of Korea in the 1590s, and for his actions in combat there he was given a stipend of 350 koku.
  • However, at the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, he opposed Yoshiaki's orders and subsequently left his service.
  • After that, he served several lords, including Kobayakawa Hideaki, Matsudaira Tadayoshi, and Fukushima Masanori; however, as his former lord Yoshiaki was a hindrance, Naoyuki entered the priesthood for a time. He served the Toyotomi clan at the Osaka Winter Campaign in 1614.
  • However, during the next year's Summer Campaign, he was killed in action fighting Asano Nagaakira's forces in Izumi province.
