Anayama was the son of [[Anayama Nobutomo|Anayama Izu no kami Nobutomo]] (d. [[1560]]). He became [[Takeda Shingen|Takeda Shingen's]] brother-in-law and saw service in many [[Takeda clan|Takeda]] campaigns, later being given [[Ejiri castle]]. He was present at the [[Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima]] ([[1561]]), [[Battle of Minowa|Minowa]] ([[1566]]), [[Battle of Odawara|Odawara]] ([[1569]]), [[Battle of Mikatagahara|Mikatagahara]] ([[1573]]), and [[Battle of Nagashino|Nagashino]] ([[1575]]). In 1582 he betrayed [[Takeda Katsuyori]] and joined [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]], though he was assassinated shortly after the death of [[Oda Nobunaga]], possibly by former Takeda retainers. He is said to have acted as a gunnery expert of sorts for Shingen during his career and was also known as Anayama Beisetsu.
