Kazutoyo was from [[Owari province]] and was the son of [[Yamauchi Moritoyo]]. He served [[Oda Nobunaga]] from about [[1565]] until the latter's death in [[1582]], leading troops at [[Battle of Anegawa|Anegawa]] and [[Battle of Nagashino|Nagashino]]. He transferred his loyalties to [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and was awarded Nagahama in [[Omi province|Ômi province]]. Following the [[Odawara Campaign]] and the [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]] transfer to the Kanto in [[1590]], Kazutoyo received a 50,000-koku fief of Kakegawa in [[Totomi province|Tôtômi province]]. He sided with [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] in the [[Sekigahara Campaign]] ([[1600]]) and assisted in the capture of [[Gifu castle]]. He led 2,000 men in the rear guard at the [[Battle of Sekigahara]] and was afterwards given Kochi in [[Tosa province]]. A group of unruly former [[Chosokabe clan|Chosokabe]] retainers resisted the [[Yamauchi clan|Yamauchi]] transfer and Kazutoyo was forced to call on the assistance of [[Ii Naomasa]] to bring order to his new domain. Naomasa sent a force under [[Suzuki Hyoe|Suzuki Hyôe]] for this purpose and by the latter half of [[1601]] the Yamauchi's fief was pacified. Kazutoyo's income as lord of Tosa was around 200,000-koku.

Kazutoyo was from [[Owari province]] and was the son of [[Yamauchi Moritoyo]], who died in battle in [[1559]] when Kazutoyo was fourteen. After wandering as a ''[[ronin]]'' for a time, he came into the service of Oda Nobunaga from about [[1565]] until the latter's death in [[1582]], leading troops at [[Battle of Anegawa|Anegawa]] and [[Battle of Nagashino|Nagashino]]. He continued to serve under Toyotomi Hideyoshi as he had previously, and was awarded a 400 ''[[koku]]'' domain in Karakuni, later being transferred to Nagahama in [[Omi province|Ômi province]]. Following the [[Odawara Campaign]] and the [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]] transfer to the [[Kanto|Kantô]] in [[1590]], Kazutoyo received the 50,000 ''[[koku]]'' fief of Kakegawa in [[Totomi province|Tôtômi province]] (near [[Shizuoka]]); the fief was later expanded to 60,000 ''koku''. Kazutoyo sided with Tokugawa Ieyasu in the [[Sekigahara Campaign]] ([[1600]]) and assisted in the capture of [[Gifu castle]], leading 2,000 men in the rear guard at the [[Battle of Sekigahara]]. Though the size of his military contribution to the campaign was not particularly considerable, Kazutoyo was one of the chief former Toyotomi retainers who willingly offered to give up all his territory to the Tokugawa, and was thus warmly rewarded for his exceptionally loyal service, being given the domain of [[Kochi castle|Kôchi]] in [[Tosa province]].  

 

A group of unruly former [[Chosokabe clan|Chôsokabe]] retainers, including rural samurai called ''ichiryô gusoku'', resisted the [[Yamauchi clan|Yamauchi]] transfer, holing up in the [[Urado Castle|castle of Urado]], firing upon envoys of the Tokugawa, and insisting that [[Chosokabe Morichika|Chôsokabe Morichika]] be permitted to keep at least half his domain, as other lords had successfully negotiated to do. Ieyasu sent forces to help Kazutoyo take the castle, and with the help of [[Ii Naomasa]], [[Suzuki Hyoe|Suzuki Hyôe]], and others, including a number of senior Chôsokabe retainers who opened the gates to the castle, the Yamauchi were able to take the castle and claim control over the domain. As a result of his reliance on Ieyasu's aid in pacifying the domain, the Yamauchi remained considerably indebted to the Tokugawa in the early stages of the Edo period; the violent way in which Kazutoyo toppled the Chôsokabe, however, led to tensions with the samurai and other people of Tosa for some time to come. Following Kazutoyo's personal arrival in the domain on [[1601]]/1/2, many Chôsokabe retainers were banished from the domain and became ''ronin'', while others were executed by the Yamauchi; a few rural samurai were allowed to retain their land and status, becoming ''[[goshi|gôshi]]'', but many other rural samurai, while permitted to keep their land, were stripped of their samurai status, becoming peasants, albeit prominent ones, with many becoming village elders or headmen.

 

Tosa leaders calculated the domain's ''[[kokudaka]]'' based on Chôsokabe cadastral surveys, reporting a figure just above 200,000 ''[[koku]]'' to the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] in [[1604]]; this figure would become the domain's official ''kokudaka'' for the remainder of the period. Kazutoyo dispersed lands to his retainers, granting the castle of Nakamura and land worth 20,000 ''koku'' to his brother [[Yamauchi Yasutoyo]],  while another set of lands, ranging in value from 1100 to 10,000 ''koku'' and each centered at a castle, were granted to five of his most senior retainers. Roughly one hundred lower-ranking samurai each got fiefs ranging from 20 ''koku'' to 7,000 in value, along with residences in Kôchi, while the remaining lower-ranking retainers received stipends but no land in fief. Kazutoyo's personal domain as lord constituted about 45,000 ''koku'' worth of land.
