Historical Information
Regarded as Hideyoshi's right-hand man, he was active during the Toyotomi's unification of Japan. For his contributions in the capture of Kyushu, he was given the provinces of Kii, Izumi, and Yamato which culminated in an income of one million koku. His death from illness caused Hideyoshi much grief and further muddled inheritance issues within the Toyotomi clan.
