After completing his doctoral studies, he worked as a researcher at the National University of Singapore before returning to Japan in 2018.

In the early Heian period, Katagiri clan served the Minamoto family, traditional head of the samurai that supplied early shōguns and their government, and ruled the southernmost part of Shinano region for nearly 500 years.

Despite his lineage and the promising start at Battle of Shizugatake, Katsumoto's rise under Toyotomi Hideyoshi was relatively slow compared to his fellow "seven spears", which included Katō Kiyomasa and Fukushima Masanori. Katsumoto was more of a court samurai than a warrior; Katsumoto was kept in the Osaka region, the capital of Japan de facto under the Toyotomi family, and his holdings were in Ibaraki area in the north.

Following Hideyoshi's death in 1598, Katsumoto was appointed the chamberlain of the Toyotomi household.
