Control over the Yakami Castle passed into Mitsutada's hands when the Hatano clan was obliterated by Akechi Mitsuhide in 1579.

Mitsutada also served under Mitsuhide during the Incident at Honnō-ji in 1582. He went on a mission for Mitsuhide to kill Oda Nobutada, the heir of Oda Nobunaga.

At the Battle of Yamazaki, he was shot during this attempt. He recuperated in a nearby temple. But he later committed suicide upon hearing of Mitsuhide's defeat.
