The meaning of the inscription does hinge on the interpretation of that character. If it means 'formerly' or 'change / changed to' then two, or all three names may be the same person.
If it means 'branch / offshoot / support / assisted by' then it's Toshishige, assisted by Toshichika and another artist.
