The Battle of Yao (1615) was a confrontation during the early Edo period in Japan. The battle occurred in 1615 during the Siege of Osaka, in which Tokugawa Ieyasu planned to destroy the Toyotomi clan. It was fought between the Tōdō clan and the Chosokabe clan. There is not much detail about the battle, but it is known that the Tõdõ clan was led by Tōdō Takatora, who won the battle, forcing the Chosokabe clan, led by Chōsokabe Morichika, to retreat to Osaka. Though Takatora won the battle, his two sons were died in combat.
