Toratane's family were at one time vassals of the [[Chiba clan|Chiba]] of [[Shimosa province|Shimosa]] before entering the service of [[Takeda Nobutora]]. He assisted in the defeat of [[Fukushima Masashige]] in [[1521]] and earned a reputation as one of the most skilled [[Takeda clan|Takeda]] generals. Interestingly, he deserted the Takeda briefly in [[1553]] to the [[Hojo clan|Hôjô]], though he was convinced to return shortly after. He was active in the Takeda's wars in [[Shinano province]] and died of wounds suffered at [[Battle of Warikadake|Warikadake]] in [[1561]]. He was reputed to have been wounded no fewer then 53 times over the course of some 30 battles. Ironically, after his death his title of Mino no Kami went to [[Baba Nobufusa]] - who was equally famed for never having been injured once in battle prior to his own death.
