Toramasa was adopted into the [[Obu clan|Obu]] from the [[Iitomi clan|Iitomi]]. He first served [[Takeda Nobutora]], then his son [[Takeda Shingen|Shingen]]. He later acted as a tutor to Shingen's eldest son [[Takeda Yoshinobu|Yoshinobu]]. He was given [[Uchiyama castle]] in [[Shinano province|Shinano]] and here he and 800 of his men once held off an attack by 8,000 men under [[Uesugi Kenshin]]. Though a general of some renown, Toramasa was implicated in a plot along with Shingen's son Yoshinobu and was made to commit suicide. He was the elder brother of [[Yamagata Masakage]] and was well-known for dressing his warriors in red - a habit borrowed by Yamagata, and by extension, [[Ii Naomasa]].
