Katsushige was a son of [[Nabeshima Naoshige]] and was born in [[Saga castle]] in [[Hizen province]] on 4 December 1580. He was sent by his father to serve [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] in the [[1600]] [[Sekigahara Campaign]] but was nearly talked into joining [[Ishida Mitsunari]] instead. He was recalled to [[Kyushu]] by his father as a result, and was able to inherit the [[Nabeshima clan|Nabeshima's]] Saga fief. He served in the suppression of the Shimabara rebellion in [[1637]] and was eventually succeeded by his grandson [[Nabeshima Mitsushige|Mitsushige]] ([[1632]]-[[1700]]), the son of [[Nabeshima Tadanao|Nabeshima Hizen no Kami Tadanao]]. He died on 7 May [[1657]].
