At that time, they were granted the village of {{Wiki\|Yagyū, Nara\|Yagyū}} in [[Yamato]] as a fief, from which they took their name. By the 15th century, the Yagyū were minor, relatively unknown warriors.

	The clan's rise began in the latter half of the 16th century. When Matsunaga Hisahide invaded Yamato in 1559, Yagyū Muneyoshi entered his service, becoming one of Hisahide's principal generals as Hisahide allied with Oda Nobunaga. However, Munetoshi's influence waned when Matsunaga Hisahide was defeated in 1577 during a conflict with Nobunaga, leading to his fall from favor. Despite this setback, Munetoshi's reputation as a swordsman grew, particularly after his encounter with the master swordsman Kamiizumi Nobutsuna. Nobutsuna made Munetoshi his principal disciple and granted him the permission to teach the newly founded Shinkage-ryū school.		The clan's rise began in the latter half of the 16th century.

	In 1594, Munetoshi met Tokugawa Ieyasu and demonstrated his swordsmanship. Although Ieyasu wished to employ him as a sword master, the 66-year-old Munetoshi declined and instead recommended his son, Yagyū ~~Munemori~~, as an instructor.
