Hi,
There is also a Nishina Nobumori who is the 4th son of
Tekeda shingen. He died after fortifying hinself in
his castle of takato. Oda Nobunaga attacked his
castle after he refused to surender. He was killed in
the attack against takato. This was around 1582 so at
least we know the clan survivd that long. Just in
case you did not know Nishina Morinobu also died in
the action at takato castle with his brother. Man to
lose both 4th and 5th sons in the same action. Even
know takeda shingen was dead at the time I am sure the
takeda family felt alot of pain that year.
Sorry no info on Mon but they might have used the
takeda family heraldry....Not sure though. Doesn't
look like either one had children of their own.
