Takayoshi served [[Takeda Shingen]]. While not a retainer of high rank, Takayoshi attracted Shingen's attention for his bravery in combat and his skill with bow and arrow. A veteran of the fighting for [[Shiga province|Shiga]] in 1547, he was killed in close combat with the [[Murakami clan|Murakami]] at [[Siege of Toishii|Toishii]] in 1550, his death coming as a blow to Shingen (who had reportedly advised his younger retainers to 'be like Yokota Bitchû.').
