Kogen served the [[Amako clan]] from 1532-1555 as a general, specifically as a vassal of the [[Yamana clan|Yamana]] family. He was second in command at [[Kannabe castle]] when the Yamana were the |

However, he later played a major role in [[Amako Katsuhisa|Amako Katsuhisa's]] uprising, even though his contribution is all but forgotten by most. His role was to take back Kannabe castle. Kannabe castle had been a major point of conflict between the Amako and Môri. It was strategically vital and whoever controlled it would control the Fukuyama area. Kogen, with a small number of soliders and a large number of rioting peasants, took Kannabe castle back from the Môri in [[1569]]. However, the Môri backup forces were too strong and the castle fell back into Môri hands. In the fighting at the castle and afterwards, Kogen and three of his sons died. |

− | ==Siblings==
| + | After his death, his surviving children were taken in by other family members. Specifically, his last surviving son,Yoshitsune, was taken in by the [[Mimura clan]], who later gave him to the [[Kosaka clan]]. However, the Mimura continued to watch over the child. This child would later grow to manhood and have his own children, one of them a daughter. This daugther would later have a child with [[Mizuno Katsushige]] named [[Mizuno Katsutoshi]], the second generation daimyo of Fukuyama. Many of the descendents of [[Fujii Kogen]] and his siblings live in Hiroshima prefecture today. |
