Morishige was the 2nd son of [[Satake Yoshishige]]. In 1600 he married the daughter of [[Ashina Moritaka]]. His adoption as the [[Ashina clan|Ashina]] daimyô in the wake of the murder of [[Ashina Moritaka|Moritaka]] created strife within the clan and a number of retainers went over to the [[Date clan|Date]], who had also offered to provide an heir. The Ashina and [[Satake clan|Satake]] struck up an alliance against the Date and came near to defeating the latter at [[Battle of Hitadori|Hitadori]] in [[1585]]. The failure of that campaign and the internal problems within the Ashina eventually allowed [[Date Masamune]] to finally gain the upper hand against them. Date Masamune defeated Morishige at Suriagegahara and afterwards captured Kurokawa (1589). Morishige was allowed to retire to Hitachi province.
