The 1582 Cagayan battles were a series of clashes between the forces of the Spanish Philippines led by Captain Juan Pablo de Carrión and wokou (possibly led by Japanese pirates) headed by Tay Fusa. These battles, which took place in the vicinity of the Cagayan River, finally resulted in a Spanish victory.^[3]^A^[1]^[4]^[5]^[6]^B

This event is a recorded battle between European soldiers and sailors against Japanese pirates,^[1]^[6] which followed similar events like the battles of Manila and Fukuda Bay. The clash pitted Spanish musketeers, pikemen, rodeleros and sailors assisted by allied native warriors against a larger group of Japanese, Chinese and likely native Filipino pirates made up of rōnin, soldiers, fishermen, and merchants (smugglers and legitimate).^[7] The pirates had a large junk, and 18 sampans which are flat bottomed, wooden fishing boats.^[8]
