* ''Title: Mino no kami''
* ''Distinction: [[Takeda clan|Takeda]], [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]]'' retainer


Kagefusa was at first a retainer of the Takeda and served [[Yamagata Masakage]] in numerous engagements (including [[Battle of Mimasetoge|Mimasetoge]]-[[1569]]). He survived the [[Battle of Nagashino]] ([[1575]]) and when the Takeda fell in [[1582]], he was taken on by the Tokugawa. He became a trusted retainer of [[Ii Naomasa]] and fought bravely in the Battles of [[Battle of Nagakute|Nagakute]] ([[1584]]) and [[Battle of Sekigahara|Sekigahara]] ([[1600]]). He was also present at the [[Odawara Campaign]] ([[1590]]). He was afterwards given an income of 1,500 koku. On the way back from the [[Osaka Winter Campaign]], [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] invited Kagefusa, by now an old man, to drink with him and honored his services. His adopted son, [[Hirose Masayoshi|Masayoshi]], was killed fighting the troops of [[Kimura Shigenari]] in the [[Osaka Summer Campaign]] ([[1615]]).
