Sukemasa used to be a retainer under Kyogoku clan but he gradually increased his power under an internal struggle in the Kyogoku clan. Eventually, he managed to become daimyo but came to be engaged in a perpetual struggle against Rokkaku Sadayori. He was once completely overrun and forced to retreat into Echizen but with the help of Asakura clan, managed to maintain the independece. While this alliance would later prove to be a curse to the Azai clan, it was essential to the clan's survival at this time.
