Shibata Naganori

Shibata Naganori (新発田 長敦, 1538 – 1580), usually known as Shibata Nagaatsu (died 1580), was a Japanese military commander who served under the warlord Uesugi Kenshin, one of the Twenty-Eight Generals of Uesugi.

The son of Shibata Tsunasada and the elder brother of Shibata Shigeie (Shibata Harunaga), Naganori served under Kenshin from the latter's earliest campaigns. Naganori began serving Kenshin at a very young age and fought in many of his battles. He fought on the right flank at the 4th Battle of Kawanakajima and Battle of Tedorigawa. During the Siege of Otate, the succession struggle that followed Kenshin's death, Naganori supported Kenshin's son Kagekatsu. Naganori died of illness in 1580.
