Toshimasa was the second son of [[Maeda Toshiie]] and was given a 215,000 ''[[koku]]'' fief in [[Noto province]] after his father's death ([[1599]]). He supported [[Ishida Mitsunari]] during the [[Sekigahara Campaign]] and had evidently plotted to assassinate [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] beforehand. After Mitsunari's defeat, Toshimasa was forced to retire and hand his lands over to his elder brother [[Maeda Toshinaga|Toshinaga]]. He afterwards went to [[Kyoto]] and took the tonsure.
