Tomoteru was a retainer of [[Matsunaga Hisahide]]. He lost his castle of [[Sawa castle|Sawa]] in [[Yamato province]] to the [[Miyoshi clan|Miyoshi]] in [[1565]]. He was related to [[Wada Koremasa]] and was able to find service under that lord once [[Oda Nobunaga]] occupied [[Kyoto]] ([[1568]]). He was involved in the Wada's war with the [[Araki clan|Araki]] ([[1571]]), and present when Koremasa was killed in battle. With his son Shigetomo, Tomoteru arranged for the murder of [[Wada Korenaga]] in April [[1573]]. Through this move the [[Takayama clan|Takayama]] gained [[Takatsuki castle]] and moved under the influence of the Araki. When [[Murashige]] rebelled against Nobunaga in [[1578]], the Takayama followed suit, though Shigetomo was convinced to abandon Takatsuki--to his father's chagrin. After Murashige fled to the western provinces ([[1579]]), Tomoteru retired. He had been baptized in [[1564]] as Darie, though previously he had been an ardent foe of [[Christianity]] and had attempted to convince Matsunaga Hisahide to expel the foreign missionaries from Kyoto.
