Nagayoshi was the second son of [[Mori Yoshinari]] and the son-in-law of [[Ikeda Nobuteru]]. He was given [[Kaneyama Castle]] in [[Mino province|Mino]] on the event of his father's death in battle. While in the service of [[Oda Nobunaga]] he was often under the command of [[Oda Nobutada]], Nobunaga's eldest son. He fought at Nagashima in [[1574]] and was with Nobutada at the [[1582]] reduction of the [[Takeda clan|Takeda's]] [[Takato Castle|Takatô Castle]] in [[Shinano province]]. Immediately afterwards he pressed onward without permission and took a number of castles in Shinano before entering [[Kazu Castle]] in [[Kai province|Kai]], which he set about fortifying. For his efforts he was awarded a fief in Shinano worth some 100,000 [[koku]]. He was however forced to withdraw from the province after the death of Nobunaga and took up in Mino with his relatives, the [[Ikeda clan|Ikeda]]. He was under the command of Ikeda Nobuteru in the [[1584]] [[Komaki Campaign]] and joined him on a flanking move designed to force [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Tokugawa Ieyasu’s]] retreat from [[Owari province]]. Confronted by Tokugawa forces at [[Nagakute]], he rode at the head of his men and was shot and killed.
