Nagamasa was the son of [[Kuroda Yoshitaka]] and was born in the 12th month of 1568. He served [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] in his later campaigns, leading 6,000 men in the [[First Korean Campaign]] ([[1592]]-[[1593|93]]). He acted as a rearguard of sorts when the Japanese finally withdrew from Korea in [[1598]], holding the port of [[Pusan]] open until all his countrymen could embark. He was given a 120,000-koku fief at Nakatsu in [[Buzen province]]. In [[1600]] he and his father sided with [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] against [[Ishida Mitsunari]]. While Yoshitaka fought with Ishida's allies on [[Kyushu]], Nagamasa led 5,400 in the Tokugawa vanguard at [[Battle of Sekigahara|Sekigahara]] and was afterwards praised for his efforts by Ieyasu. In the aftermath of the Tokugawa victory, he was given a 520,000-koku fief in [[Chikuzen province]] at Najima and built [[Fukuoka castle]]. He contributed to the construction of [[Edo castle]], personally overseeing the building of the keep. He next went on to serve in the [[Osaka Castle Campaigns]] and fought under [[Tokugawa Hidetada]]. His son Uemon no suke Tadayuki assisted in the defeat of the [[Shimabara Rebellion]] ([[1638]]). Like his father, Nagamasa had been a Christian but readily gave it up when ordered to do so by the Tokugawa.
