Toshiie was born in Arako Village in the Aichi District of [[Owari province]] and was the 4th son of [[Maeda Toshiharu]]. He entered [[Oda Nobunaga|Nobunaga's]] service in [[1551]] as a page and eventually rose to be a commander of samurai. He fought at [[Battle of Anegawa|Anegawa]] and [[Battle of Nagashino|Nagashino]], and was given a fief in [[Echizen province|Echizen]] in [[1574]] (Fuchû, 30,000 koku). He became known as one of the so-called Echizen Triumvir, and was eventually given Noto ([[1581]]). After Nobunaga's death he initially supported [[Shibata Katsuie]] but shifted his allegiance to [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]], and as a reward he had the province of [[Kaga province|Kaga]] added to his domain. By [[1595]] the [[Maeda clan|Maeda]] fief was valued at roughly 445,000 koku by 1595, and Toshiie was named one of the five regents responsible for keeping the realm in order while [[Toyotomi Hideyori]] came of age.
