in a rare example , one of ieyasu tokugawa ' s vassals named katsunari mizuno was punished for taking the position of ichiban-yari in spite of his status as general (this was ostensibly due to the concern that if the general had died at an early stage of the battle , his army would have suffered a debacle , but he was also punished as a warning against being too self-assertive as a leader ). 珍しい例では徳川家康の家臣団であった水野勝成は、大将格であったにもかかわらず一番槍をあげ軍令違反として処罰されている(表面的な理由は、大将格が序盤で戦死すると総崩れになる可能性を危惧したものだが、統率者としての自己顕示欲の強さを戒める面もある)。
