Ujiteru was the 2nd son of [[Hojo Ujiyasu|Hôjô Ujiyasu]] and was adopted into the [[Oshi clan|Ôshi family]]. He held [[Takiyama castle|Takiyama]] and then [[Hachioji castle]] in [[Musashi province]]. Ujiyasu is said to have considered Ujiteru superior to his elder brother [[Hojo Ujimasa|Ujimasa]] in most respects, although he was most noted for his diplomatic ability. Along with his brother [[Hojo Ujikuni|Ujikuni]], Ujiteru was defeated at the [[battle of Mimasetoge]] by [[Takeda Shingen]] ([[1569]]). He later urged his brother Ujimasa to form an alliance with [[Oda Nobunaga]]. Although the [[Hojo clan|Hôjô]] and [[Oda clan|Oda]] had nominally cooperated in the invasion of the [[Takeda clan|Takeda]] domain in the Spring of [[1582]], Ujimasa distrusted Nobunaga's intentions and was roused by Oda encroachment into [[Kozuke province|Kôzuke]]. He disregarded Ujiteru's advice, which at any rate became a moot point with Nobunaga's death in June. When [[Odawara castle|Odawara]] surrendered to [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] in August of 1590, Ujiteru was made to commit suicide along with Ujimasa.
