He was born in [[Edo]], the son of a samurai of [[Mito han]]. He was named Takao or Keifu, as well as Uhachirô, but later took on Kakki as a [[art-name|pseudonym]]. He lived in [[Tokorozawa]] in [[Musashi province]] (today, [[Saitama prefecture]]), and is known in particular for his compilation of the ''Musashi-no banashi shohen'' (武蔵野話初編, "First Edition Story of Musashi Fields"), which he completed in [[1815]].
