 In October, 1726 he was adopted as heir to Ichinoseki Domain by Tamura Nobuaki, and became "daimyō" on the latter's death the following year.He had an uneventful tenure, which is fortunate as contemporary records indicate that he spent most his time at falconry and hunting.At the time of his death at the age of 49 in 1755, he had only a young daughter, so the fifth son of Date Yoshimura, "daimyō" of Sendai Domain was posthumously adopted as his successor.
