豐臣秀次
Kimura Shigenari was a son of Kimura Shigekore, also known as Kimura Hitachi no suke (vice-governor of Hitachi), one of the chief counselors of Toyotomi Hidetsugu, but much of his origin remains uncertain. His mother was Toyotomi Hideyori's wetnurse: that was why Shigenari was able to become Hideyori's page at an early age and his vassal later.
