* ''Death: [[1507]]''
* ''Other name: Kôsai Motonaga''
* ''Distinction: [[Hosokawa clan|Hosokawa]] retainer''
Motochika was an important Hosokawa retainer and was given the governership of [[Sanuki province]] by [[Hosokawa Masamoto]] around [[1494]]. He defended Masamoto against the forces of [[Miyoshi Yukinaga]] in [[1506]] but came to be at odds with his lord. Around this time, Masanaga had censured Motochika for heavy-handed efforts to secure personal income from [[Yamashiro province]]. Motochika supported [[Hosokawa Sumiyuki]] (one of Masamoto's adopted sons) and in 1507 the two attacked Masamoto's home and killed him in his bath. Sumiyuki was thus established as Masanaga's successor but this lasted barely a month. Masamoto's adopted son [[Hosokawa Sumitomo|Sumimoto]] turned to his ally, [[Miyoshi Nagateru]], and the latter defeated and killed Motochika and Sumiyuki in battle near [[Kyoto]].
