Mitsutada was a cousin and retainer of [[Akechi Mitsuhide]], though his exact parentage is a matter of debate. He was given [[Yakami castle]] in [[Tanba province]] after the [[Hatano clan|Hatano]] were destroyed in 1577. In 1582, in the Akechi attack on Oda Nobunaga in Kyoto, Mitsutada participated in the assault on [[Nijo castle|Nijô]] (where Nobunaga's heir, [[Oda Nobutada|Nobutada]], was holed up). He was wounded by gunfire in the action and put under medical attention at a nearby temple. He committed suicide when he learned of Mitsuhide's defeat at [[Battle of Yamazaki|Yamazaki]].
