Masanori was a son of [[Akamatsu Masamoto]] and a cousin of [[Akamatsu Yoshisuke]]. He had a reputation as a discerning and proud general. He held [[Kozuki castle|Kôzuki castle]] in [[Harima province]] and came under attack by the [[Oda clan|Oda]] (as led by [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]) in late 1577. Masanori resisted stoutly but when a relief force sent by the [[Ukita clan|Ukita]] was defeated and Kôzuki isolated, the Oda army launched an all-out attack. Masanori killed his family before committing suicide and thus died along with some 1,100 of his men.
