Motozumi was the son of [[Katsura Hirozumi]] (d. [[1523]]). He became an important retainer of [[Mori Motonari|Motonari]] and was entrusted with [[Sakurao castle]] as well as with spreading disinformation during the movements leading up to the [[Battle of Miyajima]] in [[1555]]. He was initially married to the daughter of [[Mori clan|Môri]] retainer [[Fukuhara Hirotoshi]] but later took as wife the daughter of [[Shiji Hiroyoshi]]. He was succeeded by his son Hirosumi. The [[Katsura clan|Katsura]] were related to the Môri but were briefly disgraced when [[Katsura Hirozumi]] had been compelled to commit suicide on suspicion of treason in [[1524]].
