Yoshitaka was the eldest son of [[Satomi Sanetaka]]. He had been away when his father was suddenly attacked and forced to commit suicide by [[Satomi Yoshitoyo|Yoshitoyo]], and immediately set about planning revenge. He gathered loyal retainers and sent a message to the [[Hojo clan|Hôjô]] of [[Sagami province]] asking for their assistance. In [[1534]] Yoshitaka's forces descended on [[Inamura castle]] and compelled Yoshitoyo to kill himself. Not long afterwards, relations between Yoshitaka and the Hôjô soured. He allied in turn with [[Ashikaga Yoshiaki]] (of the [[koga-kubo]] [[Ashikaga clan|Ashikaga]] line) but the two were defeated at [[Konodai castle]] in [[1538]] by [[Hojo Ujitsuna|Hôjô Ujitsuna]]. Yoshitaka recovered from his damaging defeat at Konodai and was able to turn back an attempt by Hôjô Ujitsuna to penetrate Awa in [[1540]]. He took advantage of a civil war within the neighboring [[Takeda clan]] to strengthen his positon on the [[Boso Peninsula]] and in January [[1553]] took [[Shiizu castle]] and forced [[Takeda Nobumasa]] to commit suicide. In [[1560]] his domain was attacked by the Hôjô and he called for the support of [[Uesugi Kenshin]], who responded by leading an attack into the [[Kanto]]. He died on the 6th day of the 1st month of 1574.
