Katsuaki Torii was born in 1539 in Japan.
When Katsuyori Takeda laid siege to the castle (1575), Sadamasa sent Katsuaki to Okazaki to ask Leyasu Tokugawa for help, but on his way back he was taken prisoner and brought before Takeda. The enemy thought of a plan to trick the besieged Sadamasa into surrendering. They told Katsuaki that his life would be spared if he appeared in front of the castle gates and told them to surrender at once as no relief was coming. Katsuaki agreed but as soon as he reached the gates be outwitted the enemy and told them to hold on as relief was on the way. Enraged at this Takeda's soldiers hacked him to death.
