Harunobu was a younger son of [[Kasai Harutane]] and a grandson of [[Date Tanemune]]. He held [[Teraike castle]] in the Toyoma district of Mutsu province. Harunobu inherited a family that was troubled by disputes both internal and external. He was at odds with the neighboring [[Osaki clan|Ôsaki]] family, and in [[1588]] suffered the rebellion of one of his chief retainer families, the [[Hamada clan]]. By this time the [[Kasai clan]] were more or less subject to the whims of the [[Date clan|Date]], which had grown quite powerful under [[Date Masamune|Masamune]] and had provided two of the last four Kasai lords (including Harunobu's father). In [[1590]] Harunobu was tardy in responding to [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Hideyoshi's]] summons to join the [[Siege of Odawara Castle]] in [[Sagami province]] and was deprived of his lands. While he went off into exile, former Kasai retainers rebelled and were crushed the following year.
