Shigezane was a son of [[Date Sanemoto]] and was at first known as Tôgorô. After distinguishing himself at the [[Battle of Hitadori]] ([[1585]]) he was given [[Nihonmatsu castle]] and an income of 38,000 koku. He played an active role in the defeat of the [[Ashina clan|Ashina family]] in [[1589]]. In [[1595]], for reasons unclear, he suddenly fled to Mount Koya but re-entered [[Date Masamune|Masamune's]] service in [[1600]] and went on to fight at [[Osaka castle]]. He later produced a written work on the Date family.
