* ''Distinction: [[Oda clan|Oda]], [[Imagawa clan|Imagawa]] retainer''
Kurôjurô at first served [[Oda Nobuhide]] of [[Owari province]]. When Nobuhide died in [[1551]], Kurôjurô joined [[Imagawa Yoshimoto]] and moved his household to [[Nakamura]], in [[Suruga province]]. Having raised an army he marched back to Owari and clashed with [[Oda Nobunaga]] at [[Akatsuka]] in the 4th month of [[1553]]. Although Kurôjurô's army outnumbered Nobunaga's by nearly two to one (1,500 vs. 800), the battle was considered a draw. Kurôjurô retreated after exchanging captured horses and men with Nobunaga.
