Originally of Higo province, he served the Ouchi clan as his father had became a retainer of the clan. From around 1543 with the support of Ouchi Yoshitaka, he led a faction of retainers who preached a softer approach against the faction led by Sue Harukata that preached a hard line stance. On 1550, facing an impeding clash with Harukata, he tried to flee to Chikuzen province, but was captured and placed under a house arrest. Taketo tried to appease Harukata by having his daughter marry Harukata's son, but the relationship remained frozen.

On 1551, Harukata revolted and Taketo was killed in Hanao Castle. One of the reason for the internal feud of the Ouchi clan was a result of Taketo and Harukata arging over the future course of the clan.
