Hidetaka was a long-time retainer of the Oda family, first serving [[Oda Nobuhide]], then [[Oda Nobunaga]]. A veteran of [[First Battle of Azukizaka|Azukizaka]], he accompanied [[Ikeda Nobuteru]] in [[1557]] [[Suemori castle]] to destroy [[Oda Nobuyuki]]. He went on to fight in such battles as [[Battle of Okehazama|Okehazama]] ([[1560]]), and at [[Battle of Iwamura|Iwamura]] in [[1575]], where [[Oda Nobutada]] led a siege that brought down the [[Takeda clan|Takeda's]] foothold in [[Mino province]]. After the fall of the Takeda in the Spring of [[1582]], Hidetaka was given Fuchu in [[Kai province|Kai]] and the governorship of that province, as well as some land in [[Shinano province]]. Following Nobunaga's death in 6/1582, the people of Kai rose up against Hidetaka and he was killed attempting to flee the province.
