Career
He was a retainer of Tokugawa Ieyasu, first serving under Ieyasu"s son Nobuyasu. After Nobuyasu"s execution, Naokatsu left Tokugawa service, but later returned, serving at the Battle of Nagakute in 1584. In recognition for his service, he received lordship of the Kasama Domain (Hitachi Province) after taking part within the Summer Campaign of Osaka during 1615, and was then transferred to the Koga Domain (Shimōsa) seven years later.
Naokatsu"s descendants eventually came to rule the Kanō Domain in Mino Province, where they remained until the Meiji Restoration.
