Toyotomi Hidenaga
Toyotomi Hidenaga, formerly known as Hashiba Koichirō.
He was a half-brother of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of the most powerful and significant warlords of Japan's Sengoku period. He was also known by his court title, Dainagon. He promoted Tōdō Takatora to chief engineer. He led Hideyoshi's vanguard force a few years later into Satsuma Province, contributing heavily to his half-brother's victories in gaining control of Kyūshū. Hidenaga was awarded the provinces of Kii, Izumi and Yamato, reaching a governance of one million koku.
He was regarded as Hideyoshi's brain and right-arm. He died in Kōriyama, Yamato Province, and his tomb is called Dainagon-zuka.
He took part in the 1582 Battle of Yamazaki, the Invasion of Shikoku, and the 1587 Battle of Takajo, Battle of Sendaigawa and Siege of Kagoshima.Family
