Toshikatsu was from the [[Kitabatake clan]] and of some close relation to [[Kitabatake Harutomo]], though if the latter was a father or brother of Toshikatsu is unclear. Not long after the Kitabatake domain in [[Ise province]] was absorbed by the Oda in [[1569]], Toshikatsu was adopted by Oda retainer [[Takigawa Kazumasu]]. He took part in the [[1581]] invasion of [[Iga province]] and accompanied Kazumasu to [[Kozuke province|Kôzuke province]] in [[1582]]. There the two were defeated by the [[Hojo clan|Hôjô]] shortly after [[Oda Nobunaga|Oda Nobunaga's]] death in June of [[1582]] and retired back to Ise province. The following year they opposed [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]], were forced to submit, and in [[1584]] lent their forces to Hideyoshi's side in the [[Komaki Campaign]]. While Kazumasu went off into retirement following that campaign, Toshikatsu was confirmed in his fief at [[Matsushima]] in Ise by Hideyoshi and was later granted the use of the surname 'Hashiba'. He went on to serve in Hideyoshi's invasion of [[Kyushu]] and [[Odawara Campaign]]. He supported [[Ishida Mitsunari]] during the [[Sekigahara Campaign]] ([[1600]]) and as a result had his lands taken away by the victorious [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]]. The following year ([[1601]]), [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] relented somewhat and bestowed upon Toshikatsu a small fief in [[Hitachi province]].
