Hidesada was a son of [[Hayashi Hachirozaemon|Hayashi Hachirôzaemon]] and acted as a childhood tutor to [[Oda Nobunaga]]. He plotted with [[Shibata Katsuie]] and [[Oda Nobuyuki]] against Nobunaga in [[1557]] but was pardoned for his actions and went on to govern land in his native [[Owari province]]. Hidesada was active in government following Nobunaga's arrival in [[Kyoto]] in [[1568]] and tended to various administrative and diplomatic tasks. After [[1577]] he was ordered to attend to [[Oda Nobutada]], Nobunaga's heir, and accompanied him on both military and domestic assignments. Hidesada was abruptly purged from the Oda ranks in 1580 on charges of treasonous behavior. He died soon afterwards. Hidesada's younger brother, [[Hayashi Mimasaka no kami]], was killed in the abortive attempt to overthrow Nobunaga in 1557.
