Chikaie was the 2nd son of [[Otomo Sorin|Ôtomo Yoshishige (Sôrin)]]. Owing to his bad nature, he was sent into the priesthood. After he had mended his behavior, he was allowed to return to secular life. In [[1575]] he was baptized and in [[1579]] he was adopted as heir into the Tawara family. Around [[1586]] he feuded with his brother [[Otomo Yoshimune|Yoshimune]] and was accused of colluding with the [[Shimazu clan|Shimazu]]. After [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Toyotomi Hideyoshi's]] armies had driven back the Shimazu, Hideyoshi wanted to execute Chikaie but was convinced by Sôrin to instead deprive him of his domain.
