A standard theory is that the Oda-Tokugawa allied forces comprised 38,000 men (of which 3,000 took part in the raid on Mt. Tobigasu), whereas the Takeda force was made up with 15,000 (of which 3,000 were left on Mt. Tobigasu) although there are other theses.
通説では織田・徳川連合軍3万8000（うち鳶ヶ巣山強襲部隊3000）、武田軍1万5000（うち鳶ヶ巣山に残した部隊3000）となっているが諸説ある。
