Hirotaka was a son of [[Terazawa Hiromasa|Terazawa Echizen no kami Hiromasa]] ([[1525]]-[[1596]]), an [[Oda clan (Owari)|Oda]] and Toyotomi retainer. Hirotaka was a retainer of [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and was primarily responsible for logistical and administrative affairs, including matters pertaining to shipping. In [[1592]] he was invested with an 80,000 [[koku]] fief in [[Hizen province]] and the governorship of [[Nagasaki]], becoming a [[Christian]] in [[1596]] (though he recanted not long afterwards). He served in the [[Korean Campaigns]] and in [[1600]] sided with [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]], leading some 2,400 men for him at the [[Battle of Sekigahara]]. Though his income had been raised to 120,000 koku, Hirotaka fell out of favor with [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Ieyasu]] afterwards and lost his position as governor of Nagasaki in [[1603]]. His son Katataka's cruel tenure as [[daimyo|daimyô]] in Hizen would provoke the [[Shimabara Rebellion]] in [[1637]].
