Muneyoshi was a samurai of [[Yamato province]] whose family was defeated by the [[Tsutsui clan|Tsutsui]]. He went on to serve the Matsunaga, and later became a retainer of the Oda and then the Toyotomi. His skill as a swordsman eventually earned him the notice of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]], who named the [[Yagyu clan|Yagyû]] the official sword instructors of the Tokugawa. He is particularly well-remembered for an encounter with the famed swordsman [[Kamiizumi Nobutsuna]] in [[1563]].
