Amari Torayasu

In this Japanese name, the surname is Amari.

Amari Torayasu (甘利 虎泰; 1498 – March 23, 1548) was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku period who served the Takeda clan under Takeda Nobutora and Shingen. Amari was a shukurō, or clan elder, following Shingen's accession to family headship, and was one of "Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda Shingen".
