Takakage, along with his brother Kikkawa Motoharu , both became pillars of the Mori house fighting very bravely in many battles. The peace the Môri and Toyotomi Hideyoshi arrived at in 1582 following the fall of Takamatsu , may have been assisted by his long time correspondance with the likes of Hideyoshi. Takakage played many large roles during the campaigns of Shikoku and Kyushu . Due to that fact, Takakage received the region of Chikuzen Province in 1587 . During the year of 1593 , Takakage defeated a Chinese force at the Battle Of Byokchekwan near the region of Pyongyang . After the year of 1595 , Takakage was bestowed upon by the title of "Chunagon" by the likes of Hideyoshi, due to their very close friendship. Due to Takakage not ever having any offspring, Hideyoshi adopted Takakage with nephew, Hideaki as his heir. That event took place before Takakage met his fate at the Bingo Province in the year of 1597 . It is knoqn that Takakage was one of the most intelligent sons under that of Motonari. Takakage was known as one of the greatest figures of the latter half of the sengoku age. |
