The son of Mizuno Tadashige, he had in his younger years served Sasa Narimasa, for whom he fought in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Kyushu Campaign in 1587, Kato Kiyomasa, Konishi Yukinaga.[citation needed]
He was a leader fighting with the Tokugawa forces (the eastern army) at the Siege of Osaka.[2]
In 1615, the shogunate moved his fief from Kariya Domain in Mikawa Province to Koriyama Domain in Yamato Province (60,000 koku); then in 1619, his fief was transferred to Fukuyama Domain in Bingo Province (100,000 koku).[1]
In 1638, he led forces in the shogunate army which put down the Shimabara Rebellion in Kyushu.[3]
The line of his direct descendants was ended in 1698.[1]
