Yoshitsugu at first served [[Asakura Yoshikage]]. His relations with his lord soured and when the [[Asakura clan|Asakura]] army went to support the [[Asai|Asai clan]] at [[Odani Castle]] against the [[Oda clan|Oda]] in [[1572]], Yoshitsugu slipped out of camp and went over to the Oda. The following year he acted as a guide for the Oda army when it invaded [[Echizen province]]. He was afterwards reestablished with a fief in Echizen and changed his name to [[Katsurada Nagatoshi]]. He was killed the following year when the Echizen [[ikko]], supported by secretarians from [[Kaga province|Kaga]], rose up.
