Junkei was the son of [[Tsutsui Junsho]] ([[1523]]-[[1550]]), a minor Daimyô of [[Yamato province]]. He fought with [[Matsunaga Hisahide]] before coming to be allied with Nobunaga after the latter entered the Kinai region in [[1568]]. He assisted in the Seige of the Honganji and in [[1577]] helped bring down [[Matsunaga Hisahide|Matsunaga Hisahide's]] [[Shigi castle]] (along with [[Oda Nobutada]]). He was afterwards made the lord of [[Yamato province]] and was ordered in [[1580]] to supervise the destruction of castles in Yamato and [[Kwatchi province|Kwatchi]]. He participated in the Invasion of [[Iga province]] in [[1581]], where he joined [[Gamo Ujisato|Gamô Ujisato]] in laying siege to Hijiyama. When [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] killed [[Oda Nobunaga]] in June [[1582]], Junkei seemed ready to assist him, but waited at the [[Battle of Yamazaki]] to see who would win and once [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] had the upper hand, Junkei attacked the Akechi. Hideyoshi deprived Junkei of a portion of his domain for hedging his bets at the battle. Nonetheless, he supported Hideyoshi in the [[1584]] campaign against [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] and took one of [[Oda Nobuo|Oda Nobuo's]] castles in Ise – [[Matsugashima castle|Matsugashima]] - in a bloody fight. He died that same year. He was also known as Tsutsui Fujikatsu.
