Morishige was the holder of [[Marume castle]] and came under attack by the forces of Matsudaira Motoyasu ([[Tokugawa Ieyasu]]) during the [[Imagawa clan|Imagawa]] invasion of [[Owari province|Owari]] in [[1560]]. He held off an opening attack by the Matsudaira, but was shot and killed leading a counterattack out of the castle. He is believed to be the first 'general' killed by gunfire in Japan.
