Yukitsuna was the son of Matsushita Naganori. He at first served the Imagawa at Zudaiji castle in Tôtômi. According to legend, Yukitsuna had as a young man shown kindness to an anonymous wanderer who later became known as Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Hideyoshi never forgot Yukitsuna's consideration and made a daimyô of him many years later. However, Yukitsuna's lands fell under the control of Tokugawa Ieyasu after 1584 and he went on to serve the latter.
