Masayuki was born in [[Harima province]] but came to serve [[Ukita Naoie]] of [[Bizen province]]. He became one of Naoie's senior retainers and was remembered for his skill with bow and arrow. In one notable incident, a pirate commander boasted that he would expose his neck and see if any arrow could strike it, which prompted Masayuki, a passanger on a boat he was threatening, to loose an arrow and kill him with one shot.
