Yukiyasu was the son of Naitô Genzaemon and held Hachiboku castle in Tamba province. Though he was dispossessed by Nobunaga in 1573, he was later restored to his domains by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. During the Korean Campaigns he acted as a negotiator with the Chinese government. He was a Christian and joined Takayama Ukon in taking up with Maeda Toshiie in Kaga province when their faith brought them under Hideyoshi's suspicion. In 1614 he departed for Manila in exile and there died of illness. His Christian name was John.
