* ''Distinction: [[Hojo clan|Hôjô]] retainer''
Tsunashige was the son of [[Imagawa clan|Imagawa]] retainer Fukushima (Kushima) Masashige and was adopted by [[Hojo Ujitsuna|Hôjô Ujitsuna]]. He proved his talent in battle with the [[Uesugi clan|Uesugi]] in [[1537]] and was placed at [[Kawagoe castle]] in [[Musashi province]]. He defended this important position against the Uesugi and [[Ashikaga clan|Ashikaga]] in [[1544]], who surrounded it with a huge army while Hôjô Ujiyasu was engaged with the Imagawa and [[Takeda clan|Takeda]] in [[Suruga province]]. He held out long enough for Ujiyasu to come to his aid in the beginning of [[1545]] and sallied out as part of the Hôjô's famous night attack that produced a decisive victory. He went on to fame in numerous engagements and was ably assisted by his son [[Hojo Ujishige|Ujishige]] (though the latter predeceased his father in [[1578]]). Tsunashige was eventually made the guardian of [[Tamanawa castle]] in [[Sagami province]]. At the time of the 1568-69 war with the Takeda, he held [[Fukuzawa castle]] in Suruga and held off the Takeda's attacks until he was able to extricate himself back to Sagami.
Son: Ujishige
