In attacking Asakura in 1570 he assisted in Kutuski-goe (Nobunaga ODA's withdrawal to Kyoto through Kutsuki valley), and after that he served the Oda family and under Nobunaga's command he was assigned to Kazumasa ISONO and Nobuzumi ODA after Kazumasa was cast out, but seems not to have been treated well by Nobunaga judging from the fact that he was dismissed from the post of bailiff in 1579.
1570年の朝倉攻めにおいては織田信長の京都撤退（朽木越え）を助けて、その後は織田家に仕え、信長麾下として、磯野員昌、その追放後は織田信澄に配されているが、1579年には代官を罷免されているので、信長からの厚遇は受けていなかったようである。
