Kiyoshige of [[Shinano province]] was related to the [[Kasahara clan|Kasahara]] who served the [[Go-Hojo clan|Hôjô]]. Kiyoshige resisted the advances of [[Takeda Shingen]] and was besieged in [[Shiga castle]] in [[1546]]. [[Uesugi Norimasa]] sent a relief army but this was defeated at [[Battle of Odaihara|Odaihara]] and Shingen displayed the heads taken at that battle before Shiga to dishearten the defenders. In 1547 the Takeda forced their way into Shiga and Kiyoshige was killed. His wife and children were taken as prisoners by the Takeda to [[Kai province|Kai]] while a relative named [[Kasahara Mitsusada|Kasahara Noto no kami Mitsusada]] fled to the Hôjô domain and took up there.
