Yatarô first served [[Nagao Tamekage]], then [[Uesugi Kenshin]]. He was known as a fearsome warrior and was nicknamed “Devil Yatarô”. He is perhaps best remembered for an incident that occurred during a battle at Kawanakajima: Yatarô was sent to the [[Takeda clan|Takeda]] headquarters as a messenger and found himself set upon by a guard dog. Without blinking he calmly held the dog down and delivered his message to [[Takeda Shingen]]. Once he was done, he quickly dispatched the animal with his bare hands and left.
