Sumimoto was a son of [[Hosokawa Yoshiharu]] and an adopted son of [[Hosokawa Masamoto]]. After Masamoto was killed, Sumimoto fled from his brother [[Hosokawa Sumiyuki|Sumiyuki]] and took up refuge with [[Rokkaku Takayori]] of [[Omi province|Ômi]]. A powerful [[Hosokawa clan|Hosokawa]] vassal, [[Miyoshi Nagateru]], raised troops in [[Settsu province|Settsu]] and destroyed Sumiyuki in the young Sumimoto's name. Though practically still a child, Sumimoto was named kanrei and inherited all of the Hosokawa's holdings on [[Shikoku]]. Masamoto's 3rd son [[Hosokawa Takakuni |Takakuni]] and the shôgun he deposed, [[Ashikaga Yoshitane]], had fled to [[Suo province]] and garnered the support of [[Ouchi Yoshioki|Ôuchi Yoshioki]], who raised an army and marched east. Sumimoto and his followers had intended to face Yoshioki in Settsu, but fled to Shikoku when they caught a glimpse of the large [[Ouchi clan|Ôuchi]] army ([[1508]]). Sumimoto returned to the [[Kyoto]] area in [[1511]] but was defeated by the Ôuchi at Funaokayama and fled once more. In [[1519]], after Ôuchi had left the capital, Sumimoto attempted another return to Kyoto, but was defeated by Hosokawa Takakuni and the [[Rokkaku clan|Rokkaku]]. He withdrew back to Shikoku and died the next year.
