Yoshiharu along with his father both abandoned Kannoji as the Oda clan marched through the Rokkaku domain in 1568. Even though, Yoshiharu and his father both continued to fight at the Namazue Castle. In the end, Yoshiharu had no choice but to ally with the Azai clan, but left it after it was destroyed during the year of 1573.
During the year before the fall of the Asai, Yoshiharu had corresponded with that of the Takeda clan, and joined them after the Asai were destroyed. Yoshiharu hid at the Erin-ji in Kai Province. Afterwards, Yoshiharu joined under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, becoming a retainer of Toyotomi Hidetsugu. The last thing that Yoshiharu did in history was to become an instructor of archery for Toyotomi Hideyori at Osaka Castle.
