Yukitaka was native of [[Shinano province]] and may have been the son of [[Unno Munetsuna]]. After being defeated along with [[Unno clan|Unno]] around [[1541]] by the [[Murakami clan|Murakami]] and [[Suwa clan|Suwa]], Yukitaka took up with the [[Nagano clan|Nagano]] of [[Kozuke province|Kôzuke]]. When [[Takeda Shingen]] heard of his ability, he managed to convince Yukitaka to join his retainer band around [[1544]]. As a result, Yukitaka was able to reclaim [[Sanada castle]] around [[1550]]. He was a noted strategist and assisted Shingen on numerous occasions, most notably in the capture of Toishi in 1550. He went on to fight at the [[Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima]] ([[1561]]) and died of illness a year after Shingen passed away.
