He was the tenth head of the Imagawa clan, and was a son of Imagawa Yoshimoto and the father of Imagawa Norimochi and Shinagawa Takahisa. Ujizane was born in Sunpu Domain. He was the eldest son of Imagawa Yoshimoto.
Ujizane inherited family headship in 1558, when his father retired in order to focus his attention on the Imagawa advance into Tōtōmi and Mikawa Provinces. After Yoshimoto"s death Imagawa Ujizane was attacked by Shingen and Ieyasu. Ujizane later retaliated against the landlocked Takeda clan with a salt embargo.
This had little effect because Uesugi Kenshin took the opportunity to sell salt to the Takeda, and only resulted in the downfall of the Imagawa clan.
He enjoyed playing Kemari and poetry. The Imagawa family was summoned by Tokugawa Ieyasu and made Tokugawa retainers, with the rank of kōke.
Ujizane died at the family estate in Shinagawa in 1615. Father: Imagawa Yoshimoto (1519–1560)
Wife: Lady Hayakawa (died 1613)
