Yukitsuna was the son of [[Matsushita Naganori]]. He at first served the Imagawa at [[Zudaiji castle]] in [[Totomi province|Tôtômi]]. According to legend, Yukitsuna had as a young man shown kindness to an anonymous wanderer who later became known as [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]. Hideyoshi never forgot Yukitsuna's consideration and made a [[Daimyo|daimyô]] of him many years later. However, Yukitsuna's lands fell under the control of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] after [[1584]] and he went on to serve the latter.
