He participated in the Osaka Summer Campaign of 1615, and in 1618 was granted 100,000 goku of land in Murakami, Echigo Province. The war banner has black background with three white nail pullers. Umajirushi (a standard to stand by the general's side on the battlefield) was a gold nail puller on black background.
