Masakatsu originally ruled a small fief in Miyashiro in [[Owari province]] and may have served the [[Saito clan|Saitô]] before joining the [[Oda clan|Oda]] some time before [[1566]]. He fought at [[Battle of Anagawa|Anegawa]] and elsewhere for Nobunaga and later pledged his loyalty to [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and received a stipend of 10,000 koku. He is said to have been of particular use to Hideyoshi in his construction of the 'One Night Castle' at Sunomata in [[1567]], though if this incident even occurred is a matter of debate among historians.
