Biography[]
Ishikawa Kazumasa entered the service of Tokugawa Ieyasu during Ieyasu’s period as a hostage of the Imagawa in Sunpu, where he attended the young Matsudaira heir as one of his pages.[1] By 1562, he had risen to the position of councilor to Ieyasu.[2] Kazumasa later fought in the Battle of Mikatagahara in 1573, serving on the left flank alongside Matsudaira Ietada and Honda Tadakatsu.[3] During the second Siege of Takatenjin in 1581, he distinguished himself by taking forty enemy heads from the Takeda forces.[4]
