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 arguing over the future course of the clan.
