Changes

In addition to being a skilled administrator, Ishikawa saw active service in a number of famous battles, including [[Battle of Anegawa|Anegawa]] (June, [[1570]]) and [[Battle of Mikatagahara|Mikatagahara]] (January, [[1573]]). In [[1583]], following the death of [[Oda Nobunaga]], [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and [[Shibata Katsuie]] came to blows; after Hideyoshi's victory Ishikawa was sent to present him with Ieyasu's congratulations. The next year, Tokugawa decided to take issue with Hideyoshi on behalf of Nobunaga's 2nd son, [[Oda Nobuo|Nobuo]]; Ishikawa and Sakikabara accordingly issued statements attacking Hideyoshi. Ishikawa served at Ieyasu's Komaki headquarters during the resulting [[Komaki-Nagakute Campaign]]. Following the cease-fire, Kazumasa abruptly switched sides. Evidently dismayed by what he took to be Tokugawa's foolhardy path of resistance to Hideyoshi, Ishikawa left for Hideyoshi's court and entered his service. His departure from the Tokugawa camp proved quite inconvenient for Ieyasu, who was obliged to restructure his defensive policies and military organization, owing to Kazumasa's intimate knowledge of the Tokugawa.

Kazumasa's son [[Ishikawa Yasumichi|Yasumichi]] ([[1554]]-[[1607]]), also a veteran of the Komaki Campaign, stayed in Ieyasu's service and was given a fief in [[Kozuke province|Kozuke]] in 1590 (Naruto, 20,000 koku). After the [[Sekigahara campaign]], he was transferred to [[Mino province|Mino]] (Ogaki, 50,000 koku).
