Hirozumi's relative Saka Hirohide rebelled against Mōri Motonari, as Hirohide was dissatisfied with Motonari's succession to the family headship.[1][2] However, the rebellion ended in failure .[1][2] He took responsibility for the conflict and committed seppuku, even though Motonari never pursued for his responsibility for the matter.[2][1] His son Katsura Motozumi became one of the most important retainers of the Mōri clan.[3] Motozumi served Motonari and Mōri Terumoto until his death.[4]
