Takatsugu first served [[Oda Nobunaga]], whose niece he married. At the time of [[Akechi Mitsuhide|Akechi Mitsuhide's]] rebellion against Nobunaga in [[1582]], Takatsugu attempted to take advantage of the situation with an abortive attack on [[Nagahama castle]] in [[Omi province|Ômi province]]. Mitsuhide was soon destroyed by [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] at the [[battle of Yamazaki]], however, and Takatsugu found himself isolated. He therefore sought the protection of [[Hori Hidemasa]], who conveyed him into the service of [[Shibata Katsuie]]. When Katsuie was defeated by Hideyoshi and committed suicide in [[1583]], Takatsugu fled to the estate of [[Takeda Motoaki]] (who was married to Takatsugu's sister). Motoaki was killed soon afterwards on Toyotomi Hideyoshi's orders, but Takatsugu was given a fief even as his sister was to taken as a concubine to Hideyoshi at [[Osaka castle]]. Perhaps due to this connection, Takatsugu enjoyed great favor by Hideyoshi and his income was progressively raised from 2,500 [[koku]] to 10,000, 28,000, and finally 60,000-koku and [[Otsu castle|Ôtsu castle]] in Ômi Province. He was present for the [[Odawara Campaign]] ([[1590]]). In [[1600]] he sided with [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] and as a result was besieged at Ôtsu by a 'western' army of 15,000 men. After a few days fighting he surrendered and fled to Mt. Kôya, though he was later granted a 92,000-koku fief in [[Wakasa province]] at Obama.
