Tachibana Muneshige (立花宗茂, December 18, 1567 – November 15, 1643), was a Japanese samurai, known in his youth as Senkumamaru (千熊丸) and alternatively called Tachibana Munetora (立花宗虎 or 立花統虎), during the Azuchi–Momoyama period and an Edo-period daimyō.
He was the eldest biological son of Takahashi Shigetane, a senior retainer of Ōtomo clan.[1] He was adopted by Tachibana Dōsetsu,[1] and later married his daughter Tachibana Ginchiyo, succeeding the Tachibana clan.
His height, estimated from the armor he was wearing, was about 175-180 cm.[2][3] Also, from the stories of Honda Tadakatsu, it was suggested that Muneshige was tall and rode a large horse.[4] Muneshige also received the license from the Hekiryu school from Omura Tsuneyoshi in 1590, Nakae Shinpachi in October 1601, and Yoshida Shigetake in 1602, in school of archery.[5][6][7]
