He was born to Kusano Chikanaga,[1] but was adopted as heir to the Harada family. He became a vassal of Toyotomi Hideyoshi following Hideyoshi's invasion of Kyūshū; Harada then served as yoriki under Sassa Narimasa and Katō Kiyomasa. He joined Katō Kiyomasa's force in Korea, and died at the Siege of Ulsan.[2]
