Following Yoshisuke's capture of Obi, the Ito consolidated their hold over southern Hyuga and began advancing into territory traditionally held by the [[Shimazu clan]]. Yoshisuke desired to expand Ito influence into [[Osumi province|Osumi]], and to this end supported clans within the borders of that province hostile to the Shimazu. Takahisa was nonetheless able to subdue Osumi and in 1572 was in a position to challenge Yoshisuke in open battle at Kizaki plain, on the Ôsumi-Hyûga border. The day went to the Shimazu, and the Ito were routed. Four years later Takahisa again defeated Ito at Takabaru and in [[1578]] Yoshisuke was forced to flee to the lands of the Otomo. This was nearly 100 years after [[Shimazu Takehisa]] had first defeated the Ito at Obi in [[1485]].
