Katsumoto was the son of [[Katagiri Naomasa]]. He first distinguished himself as one of the [[Seven Spears of Shizugatake]], where he fought for [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] ([[1584]]). He participated in the [[Kyushu Campaign]] ([[1587]])and was given a fief at Ibaraki in [[Settsu province]]. Following the death of [[Maeda Toshiie]] in [[1599]] Katsumoto became [[Toyotomi Hideyori|Toyotomi Hideyori's]] official guardian and received a 28,000-koku fief in [[Yamato province]] at Tatsuta. He remained neutral during the [[Sekigahara Campaign]] and later attempted to negotiate a peace between [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] and Toyotomi Hideyori. When his efforts proved in vain, he retired to his home, though his men fought for Ieyasu at the [[sieges of Osaka Castle]]. Out of regret that he could not bring peace between the Tokugawa and Toyotomi, Katsumoto committed suicide after Osaka fell.
