* ''Death: [[1576]]''
* ''Distinction: [[Asakura clan|Asakura]] retainer''
Kagetada succeeded his grandfather [[Horie Kagezane|Kagezane]] and was a vassal of the Asakura. He led 1,000 troops in [[Asakura Norikage|Asakura Norikage's]] attack on Daishôji in [[Kaga province]] in [[1555]]. Kagetada grew in power within the Asakura retainer band and drew the suspicion of [[Asakura Yoshikage]], who in [[1567]] accused Kagetaka of treasonous behavior. After a military confrontation between the two families, peace was made and Kagetada went off to [[Noto province]] in retirement. He returned to active life and to [[Echizen province]] in [[1574]], when that province was in the throes of an ikko-ikki insurrection. When [[Oda Nobunaga]] regained control of Echizen (which he had taken from the Asakura in [[1573]]), he accepted the services of the [[Horie clan]] and gave Kagetada's son, [[Horie Toshishige]], a fief. Nobunaga reversed his decision in 1576, however, and ordered Kagetada and his son to commit suicide.
