Originally Ota castle, it was captured by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1585, and rebuilt under the supervision of ToyotomiHidenaga, Hideyoshi's brother.
The castle was later attacked, in 1615, by forces loyal to Toyotomi Hideyori, who were trying to end the siege of Osaka.
Asano's men left the castle to meet the Western (Toyotomi) forces in what came to be known as the ' battle of Kashii.' Hanawa and Okabe were killed, and Ono was forced to flee back to Osaka.
