In June 1582, after Nobunaga died in the Honnoji Incident, a conference to discuss Nobunaga's successor, the so-called Kiyosu Conference, was held at Kiyosu Castle, and at this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi decided that Nobunaga's successor would be Nobunaga's successor. Nobunaga's second son, Nobuo Oda, was appointed as the lord of Kiyosu Castle.
