Hideyuki was the son of [[Gamo Ujisato|Gamô Ujisato]] and inherited his father's fief at Aizu (420,000 koku) in [[1596]]. He was transferred to Utsunomiya in [[Shimotsuke province]] in [[1598]], thereby suffering a loss of income to 180,000-koku. It is not clear why [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Hideyoshi]] moved the young Hideyuki, but he may have hoped that by moving the experienced [[Uesugi Kagekatsu]] to Aizu in Hideyuki's place, [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Tokugawa Ieyasu's]] regional supremecy would be offset. Hideyuki supported [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]] during the [[Sekigahara Campaign]], and while he saw little fighting nonetheless received Aizu (600,000 koku) as a reward. When Hideyuki's 2nd son [[Gamo Tadamoto|Tadamoto]] died, the [[Gamo clan|Gamô]] line came to an end.
Sons: [[Gamo Tadasato|Tadasato]] ([[1603]]-[[1627]]), Tadamoto ([[1605]]-[[1634]])
