I'm admittedly not an expert in the history of Japan, but I can't find anything that mentions this battle in Gbooks or a general Google search except for this article and the one about Yoshishige. If the subject is notable then the writer would have, presumably, used a better source than a random website that isn't even using modern HTTPS security. -

Keep. The topic passes
WP:GNG and
WP:EVENTCRIT; there is significant coverage and around 100,000 troops were involved.
WP:BEFORE requests that searches be performed in the native language. There are actually a large number of discussions of this battle in Google Books when searching for the Japanese, e.g.
this from Chūō Kōron and
this from a book it published,
this from
Shūkan Tōyō Keizai, other coverage
here and
here. I stopped after those five but there are clearly more as well.

Can we integrate information from those sources into that article, please, so this isn't single-sourced any more? If this can be done, then this would be a keep from me. —

Thank you for performing a more thorough WP:BEFORE, as I'm limited by my inability to understand Japanese. I'm happy to strike my vote if you'd be willing to add these sources, with page numbers for the books, to the article. -
