Sadachika was a noted retainer of Ukita Naoie from the early days of the latter and led troops for him in all of his campaigns. After the Ukita submitted to Hashiba (Toyotomi) Hideyoshi and the Oda in 1579, Sadachika assisted at the siege of Takamatsu in 1582 and later in the Shikoku Campaign. He was murdered in 1588.
