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".

Amari was killed in action at the battle of Uedahara in 1548, together with Itagaki Nobukata. The two were fighting side by side when suddenly a volley of arrows shot them down.
