The family crest was originally created from the pattern that the emperor and the royal family put on the kimono, and the pattern was made into a fixed pattern, and the one attached to his own oxcart is said to be the beginning of the family crest. The warlords drew large crests on the flag-fingers, used to distinguish enemy views on the battlefield, and used by the generals to determine which warlords were active and how much.

Takeda Katsuyori, "Kai Region Ruler", was in a critical situation around 1581. Mr. Hōjō in Sagami Region formed an alliance with Tokugawa Ieyasu of Tōkai district, in addition the army of Oda Nobunaga who was aiming for the invasion of Kōshin district was approaching. Under such circumstances, Katsuyori decided to build a new base, Shinpu Castle, because of the need to strengthen the defense system of Takeda's territory. Katsuyori moved to Shinpu Castle at the end of the same year, but following the invasion of the Oda army in March 1582, he set fire to the castle and escaped. It is said that it was only the 68th day in the castle.
