Fujitaka was the son of [[Mibuchi Harusada]], who had been adopted into the [[Hosokawa clan|Hosokawa]] family by [[Hosokawa Mototsune]]. Fujitaka was a member of the [[Ashikaga clan|Ashikaga]] court and during his service to Yoshiteru practiced linked verse with [[Satomura Joha]], the noted [[renga]] master. In [[1565]] Yoshiteru was assassinated and Hosokawa left the capital, joining [[Ashikaga Yoshiaki]] in his search for a patron. After [[Oda Nobunaga]] established Yoshiaki in Kyoto ([[1568]]), Fujitaka continued to act as his advisor. In [[1573]] Yoshiaki was driven from Kyoto by Nobunaga, who kept Fujitaka in service, as the latter was a noted scholar and poet, as well as an administrator of some skill. In [[1580]] Fujitaka was given a large fief in [[Tango province|Tango]] (110,700 koku), where he would remain until his death. In [[1582]] [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] destroyed Oda Nobunaga and turned to Fujitaka for support. Although related to Mitsuhide through his son Tadaoki's marriage to Mitsuhide's daughter, Fujitaka refused. He later became a close confident to [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and acted as something of a cultural assistant, advising Hideyoshi in the ways of etiquette and verse.
