Hisanobu and his father both served under [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] during the [[Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–1598)|Korean campaigns]]. At the time of the [[Battle of Sekigahara]], Hisanobu fought on the Toyotomi side, although his father defected to the Tokugawa side and burned down his castle in Hirado as a gesture of loyalty to the new ''[[Shogunshōgun]]'', [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]].

Following the Battle of Sekigahara, Hisanobu was summoned to an audience with Tokugawa Ieyasu in [[Kyoto]] and died shortly afterwards. There are indications that he was ordered to commit ''[[seppuku]]''. He was followed in succession by his son [[MatsuuraMatsura Takanobu (daimyo)|MatsuuraMatsura Takanobu]].
