Masaie was the eldest son of [[Ryuzoji Takanobu|Ryûzôji Takanobu]]. Following his father's defeat and death in [[1584]] at the hands of the [[Shimazu clan|Shimazu]], Masaie agreed to a truce with the latter. He was physically weak and a poor leader and so suffered the defection of a number of his retainers in short order. He relied on [[Nabeshima Naoshige]] but in fact Naoshige was himself maneuvering towards independence. He quickly transferred his allegiance to [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] in [[1587]] and was confirmed in six districts of Hizen (worth some 350,000-koku). He was present at Hideyoshi's headquarters during the Korean invasion. His lands were later transferred to his former vassal, Nabeshima Naoshige.
