                    When his father died, Nagataka returned to Fukashi to reclaim his heirship but was
                    forced out by his step-mother and half brothers.  His name was darkened from the
                    main genealogical index, and the Fukashi Ogasawara has long denied the existence
                    and/or connection between them and Nagataka for centuries.  He was forced to leave
                    again and first sought employment with the Oda but was refused.  He then
                    went to Imagawa Kazusanosuke Ujichika where his family was employed for three
                    generations.  He is considered to be the progenitor of the Takatenjin branch of the
                    Ogasawara.
