Korenori assumed the name Kamei as a young man as that Amako retainer family had been left without an heir after the death of [[Kamei Hidetsuna]] in battle with the [[Mori clan|Môri]]. Korenori joined [[Yamanaka Shikanosuke]] (to whom he was connected by virtue of marrying the younger sister of Shikanosuke's wife) in fighting to revive the fortunes of the Amako (who had fallen to the Môri in [[1566]]). When the Amako cause finally died (along with [[Amako Katsuhisa]] and, later, Shikanosuke) with the fall of [[Kozuki castle]] in [[1578]], Korenori became a retainer of [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]. He received [[Shikano castle]] in [[Inaba province]] and participated in the [[Kyushu Campaign]] ([[1587]]). | Korenori assumed the name Kamei as a young man as that Amako retainer family had been left without an heir after the death of [[Kamei Hidetsuna]] in battle with the [[Mori clan|Môri]].
