Tanezane was the 2nd son of [[Akizuki Fumatane]], who was killed fighting the [[Otomo clan|Ôtomo]] in [[1557]] (along with Tanezane's brother [[Akizuki Harutane|Harutane]]). At that time Akizuki retainers had spirited Tanezane into the the [[Mori clan|Môri]] domain. In [[1559]] he was established back at [[Akizuki castle]] by Mori Motonari|Môri Motonari]] but in [[1569]] was compelled to submit to the the Ôtomo, who were at that time at the height of their power. When the Ôtomo suffered their crushing defeat at the [[Battle of Mimigawa]] in [[1569]], Tanezane rebelled. He mounted a token resistance to [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Toyotomi Hideyoshi's]] invading troops in [[1587]] but submitted when [[Ganjaku castle|Ganjaku]] and Akizuki castles were captured. He was afterwards given Takanabe in [[Hyuga province|Hyûga Province]], worth some 20,000 koku ([[1590]]). He had by then already taken the tonsure and now retired in favor of his son Tanenaga. He died on 11/16/1596.
