Harukata was the second son of the noted Ôuchi general [[Sue Okifusa]]. He became [[Ouchi Yoshitaka|Ôuchi Yoshitaka's]] chief general and led troops to lift the [[Amako clan|Amako's]] [[Siege of Koriyama|siege]] of [[Mori Motonari|Môri Motonari's]] [[Koriyama castle]] in [[1540]]. He also commanded troops in the abortive Ôuchi attempt to bring down [[Toda clan|Gassan-Toda]] in 1541-42 and afterwards endeavored to restore his lord's faltering martial spirit. In addition to his military duties, Harukata also assisted Yoshitaka in a number of land surveys ([[Suo province|Suô]] (1540), and [[Aki province|Aki]] ([[1550]])). After making various remonstrations to his lord, he finally rebelled in [[1551]] and drove Yoshitaka to commit suicide, afterwards ruling the Ôuchi lands through [[Ouchi Yoshinaga|Ôuchi Yoshinaga]]. He was compelled to chastise a number of rebellious Ôuchi retainers. He came to war with Môri Motonari and in [[1554]] began to attack his outlying castles. He was tricked into ordering the execution of Ôuchi retainer [[Era Fusahide]] and in [[1555]] was lured with his army to [[Battle of Miyajima|Miyajima]], where he was trapped and killed along with his son, Nagafusa.
