Though he didn't see much action, and was afterwards disposed of his fief despite sending an apology note to Tokugawa Ieyasu. That same year, he had ordered the execution of his elder brother 津野親忠 Tsuno Chikatada, who had questioned his right to be the heir of Motochika. This execution could be one of the reasons Ieyasu stripped Morichika of his fief.
