Kazumasu was a son of [[Takigawa Kazukatsu]]. He became one of [[Oda Nobunaga]]'s staunchest supporters, and served him from around [[1558]] onward. He was given land in [[Ise province]] around [[1569]] and supported [[Oda Nobuo]], heir to the [[Kitabatake clan|Kitabatake]] house. Aside from serving in many of Nobunaga's battles, Kazumasu also rendered service to the Oda through domestic affairs, assisting in the construction of [[Azuchi castle]] in [[1578]] and in land surveys with [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] in [[1580]] in the Yamato region. Kazumasu's battle record was mixed, as he fled from the [[Battle of Mikatagahara]] and acted poorly during the [[1st Iga Invasion]]. In the wake of the destruction of the [[Takeda clan|Takeda]] in [[1582]], Kazumasu was established at [[Umabayashi Castle]] in [[Kôzuke province|Kôzuke]] and given control of the province. Shortly after the death of Oda Nobunaga in June 1582 Kazumasu was defeated by the [[Hôjô clan|Hôjô]] at the [[Battle of Kanagawa]] and fled to Ise. Following the [[Kiyosu Conference]] Kazumasu was given a domain in Ise and supported [[Shibata Katsuie]] when the latter opposed [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] in [[1583]]. Kazumasu submitted to Hideyoshi after he was besieged in [[Kamegawa castle]] and assisted the latter during the [[Komaki Campaign]] by attacking [[Kanie castle]] along with [[Kuki Yoshitaka|Kûki Yoshitaka]]. When he performed badly in this campaign, he shaved his head and retired in shame. He is thought to have died in [[Echizen province|Echizen]] around 1586.
