Masaie was known for his skill as a quartermaster, first under [[Niwa Nagahide]] and then [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]. He was a key element in the logistical success of Hideyoshi's [[1590]] [[Odawara Campaign]] and received a 50,000 [[koku]] fief in [[Omi province|Ômi province]] at [[Minakuchi]]. In [[1595]] he was named one of the [[Go-bugyo|Go-bugyô]] (Five Magistrates), responsible for the administrative tasks associated with Hideyoshi's rule. He sided with [[Ishida Mitsunari]] during the [[Sekigahara Campaign]] of [[1600]] and was involved in the [[siege of Anotsu]] and the [[Battle of Sekigahara]] itself, where his 1,500 men saw little action. He was afterwards besieged in Minakuchi by [[Ikeda Terumasa]] and committed suicide.
