Tupac Inca Yupanqui was head of the Inca army from 1463 CE through 1471 CE and became the second Inca of Tahuantinsuyu after his father's death in 1471 CE. He ruled the Inca empire until his death in 1493 CE.

Tupac Inca conquered Chimor which was the only possible rival to the expansion of the Kindom of Cusco. While he lead the Inca army his father Pachacuti fashioned the political reorganization of the Kindom of Cusco into Tahuantinsuyu, the "land of four corners", otherwise known as the Inca Empire.
