English: He served Hideyoshi HASHIBA (later called Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI) as a pageboy in about 1574 (1577, according to another theory), when Hideyoshi became a lord of Nagahama Castle in Omi Province (now Nagahama City) serving Nobunaga ODA.
Japanese: 羽柴秀吉（のちの豊臣秀吉）が織田信長に仕えて近江国長浜城(近江国)（長浜市）主となった天正2年（1574年）頃から秀吉の小姓として仕える（天正5年（1577年）説もある）。
English: When Hideyoshi went on an expedition to the Chugoku region as a chief commander by order of Nobunaga, ISHIDA served in the war.

English: After Nobunaga died an unnatural death in the Honnoji no Hen (the Conspiracy of Honno-ji Temple) in June 1582, Hideyoshi rose up as a tenkabito (ruler of the country) and Mitsunari gradually emerged as an aide of Hideyoshi.
Japanese: 天正10年（1582年）6月、信長が本能寺の変により横死し、次の天下人として秀吉が台頭すると、三成も秀吉の側近として次第に台頭してゆく。
English: According to the "Hitotsuyanagi Kaki," he was in charge of a mission to spy on Katsuie SHIBATA's army and also performed a great feat of Ichiban-yari (being the first to thrust a spear at an enemy soldier) as one of the warriors on the front line.
Japanese: 柴田勝家軍の動向を探る偵察行動を担当、また先駈衆として一番槍の功名をあげたと「一柳家記」にある。
English: When Hideyoshi was appointed as the chief adviser to the Emperor on July 11, 1585, Mitsunari was given the rank of a jugoi (Junior Fifth Rank) in the Jibu-sho department.
Japanese: 天正13年（1585年）7月11日、秀吉の関白就任に伴い、従五位治部省に叙任される。
English: It has been said that, in January 1586, he hired Sakon SHIMA, who was renowned as a commander having wisdom and courage, at a chigyo (fief) of 20,000 koku, which was the half amount of Mitsunari's chigyo.
Japanese: 天正14年（1586年）1月、当時智勇兼備の名将として名高かった島左近を4万石のうちの半分の2万石の知行を与えて召抱えたといわれる。
English: As Hideyoshi was impressed and praised for this, he gave a haori (half-coat) with the Kikukiri-mon crest to Sakon SHIMA in order to encourage fealty for Mitsunari (though other theories assert that Mitsunari employed Sakon when he was appointed as the lord of Sawayama with 190,000 koku, and that Sakon was a yoriki (lower-ranked samurai) who had supported Hideyoshi).
Japanese: 秀吉はこれに驚愕、そして賞賛し、島左近に三成への忠誠を促し、菊桐紋入りの羽織を与えた（ただし、佐和山19万石を得た時に家臣とした説、それとは別に秀吉からの寄騎であったとする説もある）。
English: In the same year, Mitsunari helped Kagekatsu UESUGI from Echigo to visit Hideyoshi and pledge to serve as a vassal.
Japanese: 同年、越後の上杉景勝が秀吉に臣従を誓うために上洛してきたとき、これを斡旋した。

Japanese: 天正15年（1587年）、九州征伐に参陣するが、武功を挙げたわけではなく後方の兵糧・武具などの輜重を担当していたと言われている。
English: The expedition to Kyushu finished within a short period, as did the previous year's expedition to Shikoku, because Mitsunari, who was a talented leader of bureaucrats, had effectively managed the transport of military goods.
Japanese: ただし、先年の四国征伐と同様に九州征伐が比較的短期間で終わったことは、三成という有能な行政官僚が輜重を担当していたからだとも言われている。
English: In the case of the Oshi Castle attack, Mitsunari flooded the castle by carrying water from the Moto-Arakawa River, and the remains of the castle are still in existence.
Japanese: 忍城攻めでは元荒川の水を城周囲に引き込む水攻めが行われ、その際の遺構が周囲に現存している。
English: Most of the Gohojo clan's subsidiary castles in the Kanto area had fallen prior to Odawara Castle, which was the main castle, but even after the surrender of Odawara Castle the attack on Oshi Castle continued till early July 1590.
Japanese: 関東各地の後北条氏のほとんどの支城は本城である小田原城よりも先に陥落したが、忍城では小田原開城後の7月初旬まで戦闘が続いた。
English: Therefore, many documents say that the attack on Oshi Castle proves that Mitsunari was not good at fighting, but there are opposing theories.
Japanese: そのため、この城攻めは三成の戦下手の証拠であるとする書物が多いが、これには異説もある。
English: Mitsunari had built up more and more works, such as arranging an audience with Hideyoshi for Yoshinobu SATAKE (Ukyo-no-daibu, chief of Ukyoshiki government agency), who was from Hitachi, and becoming a kenchi bugyo(survey magistrate) in Oshu after the clamp-down on Oshu.

English: Subsequently, he returned to Nagoya in Hizen Province with SHA Yo Sho and Jo Ikkan, who were emissaries of pacification in the Ming army, and had an active role in peace negotiations with Ming.
Japanese: その後明軍の講和使謝用梓・徐一貫を伴って肥前・名護屋に戻るなど、明との講和交渉に積極的役割を果たしている。
English: Mitsunari accused Hideyoshi's nephew, Hidetsugu TOYOTOMI, of plotting a coup (which became known as the Hidetsugu Incident) in 1595.
Japanese: 文禄4年（1595年）、秀吉の甥・豊臣秀次を謀反の嫌疑により糾問する（秀次事件）。
English: He enacted Jusan-kajo no Okitegaki (13 articles of rule) and Kyu-kajo no Okitegaki (nine articles of rule) in his Sawayama domain in 1596.
Japanese: 慶長元年（1596年）、佐和山領内に十三ヶ条掟書、九ヶ条掟書を出す。
English: That year, he was appointed as Kyoto magistrate and was ordered by Hideyoshi to clamp down on Christians.
Japanese: 同年、京都奉行に任じられ、秀吉の命令でキリシタン弾圧を命じられている。
English: In this incident, Mitsunari showed friendly feelings such as trying to reduce the number of Christians to be caught, and also placated Hideyoshi in order to prevent the execution of Christians (the 26 martyrs).
Japanese: ただし、三成はこのときに捕らえるキリシタンの数を極力減らしたり、秀吉の怒りをなだめて信徒たちが処刑されないように奔走するなどの情誼を見せたという（日本二十六聖人）。
English: When the Keicho-no-eki War started in 1597, he tried again to make overtures of peace to Ming and Korea, but these efforts failed.
Japanese: 慶長2年（1597年）、慶長の役が始まると再び明・朝鮮との講和交渉に奔走するが不調に終わった。
English: It was said that he had endeavored to pull troops out of Korea in August 1598, after Hideyoshi's death.
Japanese: 慶長3年（1598年）8月、豊臣秀吉が死去すると、朝鮮に在陣していた諸大名の撤兵に尽力したと言われている。
English: However, Tairo (Chief Minister) Ieyasu TOKUGAWA, who was the lord of Kanto with 2,500,000 koku, gradually rose up as a tenkabito (ruler of the country).
Japanese: しかし、次の天下人の座を狙う関東250万石の大老・徳川家康が次第に台頭してゆく。
English: Ieyasu established relations by affinity between himself and Mitsunari's adversaries, such as Masanori FUKUSHIMA, Kiyomasa KATO and Nagamasa KURODA, without the permission of the Toyotomi clan, doing so in order to gain supremacy.
Japanese: 家康は覇権奪取のため、三成と敵対関係にあった福島正則や加藤清正、黒田長政らと、豊臣氏に無断で次々と縁戚関係を結んでゆく。
English: Mitsunari consulted with Toshiie MAEDA and in January 1599 dispatched an envoy to Ieyasu in order to investigate the crime because Ieyasu's relationship by affinity violated the law of the act banning marriage without authorization, which Hideyoshi had instituted in 1595.
Japanese: 慶長4年（1599年）1月、三成は家康の無断婚姻を「秀吉が生前の文禄4年（1595年）に制定した無許可縁組禁止の法に違反する」として、前田利家らと諮り、家康に問罪使を派遣する。
English: Ieyasu sensed his disadvantage and came to terms with Toshiie and Mitsunari on February 2, exchanging a written oath.
Japanese: 家康も豊臣政権の中で孤立する不利を悟って、2月2日に利家・三成らと誓紙を交わして和睦した。
English: However, Tairo (Chief Minister) Toshiie MAEDA, who kept evenly balanced power with Ieyasu, died of a disease on the third day of intercalary third month.
Japanese: しかし、閏3月3日に家康と互角の勢力を持っていた大老・前田利家が病死する。
English: Right after his death, Mitsunari's adversary group Budan-ha, including seven lords--Kiyomasa KATO, Masanori FUKUSHIMA, Nagamasa KURODA, Tadaoki HOSOKAWA, Yoshinaga ASANO, Terumasa IKEDA and Yoshiaki KATO--attacked Mitsunari's Osaka residence (Iemasa HACHISUKA and Takatora TODO were also included, according to some documents).
Japanese: その直後、三成と敵対関係にあった武断派の加藤清正、福島正則、黒田長政、細川忠興、浅野幸長、池田輝政、加藤嘉明の7将（史料によっては蜂須賀家政や藤堂高虎の名もある）が、三成の大坂屋敷を襲撃した。
English: Mitsunari, however, had already escaped from Osaka to Fushimi Castle with the help of Yoshinobu SATAKE.
Japanese: しかし三成は事前に佐竹義宣の助力を得て大坂から脱出し、伏見城内に逃れていた。
English: Mitsunari then found himself in a standoff with seven lords in Fushimi, but they made peace through the arrangements of Ieyasu and Mitsunari agreed to retire, giving up the title to five major magistrates.
Japanese: この後7将と三成は伏見で睨みあう状況となるが、仲裁に乗り出した家康により和談が成立し、三成は五奉行からの退隠を承諾した。
English: Mitsunari returned to Sawayama Castle guarded by the Ieyasu's second son, Hideyasu YUKI, on March 10 (some documents state that Mitsunari escaped to Ieyasu's residence in Mukojima in this incident but their sources, such as "History of Japanese Warfare, Sekigahara-no-eki," were written after the Meiji period).
Japanese: 3月10日、三成は家康の次男・結城秀康に守られて、佐和山城に帰城した（この事件時、三成が単身で向島の家康の屋敷に難を逃れたとする書物が多いが、これらの典拠となっている資料は明治期以降の「日本戦史・関原役」などである）
English: (There is no source written in the Edo period mentioned that Mitsunari had visited Ieyasu's residence.)
Japanese: 江戸期に成立した史料に三成が家康屋敷に赴いたことを示すものはない）。
English: Ieyasu acted arbitrarily again due to Toshiie's death and because Mitsunari had remained at home, whereupon he promoted unauthorized marriages that had once been called off and conducted the distribution of territory in which Hideyoshi had interdicted.
Japanese: 利家の死去・三成の蟄居により、家康の専横は再び活発になり、一旦白紙にしていた無断婚姻や秀吉の遺命で禁止されていた所領配分なども実施した。
English: It is said that Ieyasu stayed at Mitsunari's residence when Ieyasu went to Osaka to see Hideyori in celebration of his Chrysanthemum Festival in September.
Japanese: 9月、家康が重陽の節句による祝意を秀頼に述べるため大坂に赴いたとき、三成の屋敷を宿所としたと言われている。
English: Mitsunari devised a plan along with Kagekatsu UESUGI and Kanetsugu NAOE to defeat Ieyasu in July 1600 (but one theory asserts that no such secret plot existed).
Japanese: 慶長5年（1600年）7月、三成は家康を排除すべく、上杉景勝・直江兼続らと密かに挙兵の計画を図る（この密約は無かったという説もある）。
English: Then, as Uesugi's army stood in open rebellion against Ieyasu, Ieyasu went on an expedition to Aizu with various feudal lords.
Japanese: その後上杉勢が公然と家康に対して叛旗を翻し、家康は諸大名を従えて会津征伐に赴いた。
English: Mitsunari made a decision to attack Ieyasu, using it as an opportunity to effect a pincer strategy by closing in from the east and west, and tried to get Yoshitsugu OTANI on his side.
Japanese: これを東西から家康を挟撃する好機として挙兵を決意した三成は、大谷吉継を味方に引き込もうとする。
English: Yoshitsugu thought it would be reckless to have a conflict with Ieyasu and therefore opposed Mitsunari, but he accepted Mitsunari's plan because of their mutual affection as acquaintances.
Japanese: 吉継は、家康と対立することは無謀であるとして反対したが、三成との友誼などもあって承諾した。
English: On July 12, having appointed his brother Masazumi as a magistrate and established the checkpoint at Echigawa, Omi, Mitsunari prevented the saikoku daimyo (feudal lords in countries west of the Kinki district) such as Katsushige NABESHIMA and Shigekatsu MAEDA from going on an expedition to Aizu under Ieyasu's command, and forcibly moved them over to his side (the western army).
Japanese: 7月12日、兄・正澄を奉行として近江愛知川に関所を設置し、家康に従って会津征伐に向かう後発の西国大名、鍋島勝茂や前田茂勝らの東下を阻止し、強引に自陣営（西軍）に与させた。
English: On July 13, Mitsunari sent the army to take the feudal lords' families as hostages and keep them in Osaka Castle.
Japanese: 7月13日、三成は諸大名の妻子を人質として大坂城内に入れるため軍勢を送り込んだ。
English: However, some of the wives escaped, including that of Kiyomasa KATO, and moreover, Garasha HOSOKAWA, who was Tadaoki HOSAKAWA's official wife and Mitsuhide AKECHI's daughter, refused to be taken as a hostage and committed suicide by setting fire to her residence, which resulted in her tragic death; therefore, the operation was deemed a failure and stopped.
Japanese: しかし加藤清正の妻をはじめとする一部には脱出され、さらに細川忠興の正室・細川ガラシャ（明智光秀の娘）に人質となることを拒絶され屋敷に火を放って死を選ぶという壮烈な最期を見せられて、人質作戦は中止された。
English: Mitsunari appointed Terumoto MORI as a captain general of the western army and instructed him to enter Osaka Castle on July 17, and he also sent to feudal lords an impeachment letter bearing thirteen articles of the charges signed by three magistrates (Geni MAEDA, Nagamori MASUDA and Masaie NATSUKA).
Japanese: 7月17日、毛利輝元を西軍の総大将として大坂城に入城させ、同時に前田玄以・増田長盛・長束正家の三奉行連署からなる家康の罪状13か条を書き連ねた弾劾状を諸大名に公布した。
English: Mitsunari and Masaie NATSUKA took the families of Kogashu as hostages and threatened the kogashu (local samurai based in Koga County, Omi) who served under Torii.
Japanese: そこで三成は、鳥居の配下に甲賀衆がいるのを見て、長束正家と共に甲賀衆の家族を人質にとって脅迫する。
English: On August 1, as Kogashu accepted Mitsunari's request and opened the castle gate from the inside, Fushimi Castle fell.
Japanese: 8月1日、甲賀衆は三成の要求に従って城門を内側から開けて裏切り、伏見城は陥落した。
English: On August 2, Mitsunari issued to feudal lords across the country a declaration, cosigned by Mitsunari, Terumoto MORI and Hideie UKITA, stating that Fushimi Castle had fallen.
Japanese: 8月2日、三成は伏見城陥落を諸大名に伝えるべく、毛利輝元や宇喜多秀家、さらに自らも連署して全国に公布する。
English: Though Mitsunari had ruled over the Ise region since August, he made a decision to fight in the fields of Sekigahara due to Ieyasu's quick inverting attack to the west.
Japanese: 8月からは伊勢方面の平定に務めたが、家康ら東軍の反転西上が予想以上に早かったため、三成は関ヶ原で野戦を挑むことを決める。
English: One of the most famous and fateful battles between the eastern and western armies, the Battle of Sekigahara, started on September 15.
Japanese: そして9月15日、東軍と西軍による天下分け目の戦いである関ヶ原の戦いが始まった。
English: Initially, the western army was dominant and Mitsunari's army of 6,900 could hold out against more than twice that number led by Tadaoki HOSOKAWA, Nagamasa KURODA, Yoshiaki KATO and Yoshimasa TANAKA, because Sakon SHIMA, Satoie GAMO and Hyogo MAI fought so bravely.
Japanese: 当初は西軍優勢であり、石田隊は6900人であったが、細川忠興・黒田長政・加藤嘉明・田中吉政ら兵力では倍以上の敵に攻められたものの、島左近・蒲生郷舎・舞兵庫らの奮戦もあって持ちこたえた。
English: At last, the western army was routed due to the betrayal of Hideaki KOBAYAKAWA and Yasuharu WAKIZAKA; therefore, Mitsunari escaped from the battlefield to Mt. Ibuki.
Japanese: 最終的には小早川秀秋や脇坂安治らの裏切りによって西軍は総崩れとなり、三成は戦場から逃走して伊吹山に逃れた。
English: It is said that at that time Mitsunari drank straight from the stream and ate uncooked rice to stave off his hunger, so he suffered from diarrhea.
Japanese: このとき、三成は極度の空腹から沢の水を飲み、生米を食べたため、下痢を起こしたと言われている。
English: Subsequently, from Kasuga-mura Village, he took the route out through Shimbo-toge Pass and reached the Ane-gawa River, whereupon he entered Kusanotani through Magatani and the Nanamawari-toge Pass.
Japanese: その後、春日村から新穂峠を迂回して姉川に出た三成は、曲谷を出て七廻り峠から草野谷に入った。
English: However, on September 21 he was caught by Yoshimasa TANAKA's troops who had been searching for Mitsunari under Ieyasu's command.
Japanese: しかし9月21日、家康の命令を受けて三成を捜索していた田中吉政の追捕隊に捕縛された。
English: Sawayama Castle, which was a residence of Mitsunari, fell under attack by the eastern army on September 18, and Mitsunari's father Masatsugu and most of the Ishida family died in the battle.
Japanese: 一方、9月18日に東軍の攻撃を受けて三成の居城・佐和山城は落城し、三成の父・正継をはじめとする石田一族の多くは討死した。
English: On September 22, Mitsunari was escorted to Otsu Castle to be kept on public display, after which he was brought before Ieyasu.
Japanese: 9月22日、大津城に護送されて大津城の門前で生き曝しにされ、その後家康と会見した。
English: He was escorted to Osaka on September 27, and the next day he was pulled through Osaka and Sakai as a criminal along with Yukinaga KONISHI and Ekei ANKOKUJI.
Japanese: 9月27日、大坂に護送され、9月28日には小西行長、安国寺恵瓊らと共に大坂・堺を罪人として引き回された。
English: On September 29, he was escorted to Kyoto and was placed under the supervision of the Kyoto shoshidai (the local governor of Kyoto), Nobumasa OKUDAIRA.
Japanese: 9月29日、京都に護送され、奥平信昌（京都所司代）の監視下に置かれた。
English: After his head was pilloried at Sanjo-gawara, it was placed in the care of Soen SHUNOKU and Soho TAKUAN, who had formed close relationships with Mitsunari, and was buried at Sangenin in Daitoku-ji Temple, Kyoto.
Japanese: 首は三条河原に晒された後、生前親交のあった春屋宗園・沢庵宗彭に引き取られ京都大徳寺の三玄院に葬られた。
English: At that time, Mitsunari said to the villagers, "The reason I escaped was for fighting with Ieyasu again and for ruling the country.
Japanese: そのときに村人たちに「このように逃れてきたのはふたたび家康と一戦を交え、天下を統一する所存であるからだ。
English: He said, "Once I rule the country, I will build a wide field between Furuhashi and Lake Biwa and will make all roads stone-paved," so the villagers were attracted to what he said and harbored him.
Japanese: 統一の暁には、古橋から湖（琵琶湖）までの間を大きな平野となし、道は全部石畳にする」と言い、村人たちはこの言葉にひかれて石田三成を匿った。
English: However, Yojiro-dayu, of a nearby village, betrayed Mitsunari, and as a result he was captured.
Japanese: しかし隣村出身の与次郎太夫という者が裏切ったため三成は捕らえられた。
English: Following the death of Toshiie MAEDA, Mitsunari's adversaries such as Kiyomasa KATO and Masanori FUKUSHIMA attacked him.
Japanese: 前田利家の死後、加藤清正・福島正則らが三成を襲撃するという事件が起こった。
English: Mitsunari gave a sword called "Mumei Masamune (sword without the Masamune's name)" to Hideyasu Yuki, who had escorted him to Sawayama Castle; Hideyasu loved it and took good care of it all his life, calling it "Masamune ISHIDA."
Japanese: 三成が佐和山城への護送役をつとめた結城秀康に「無銘正宗」を贈ると、秀康はこれを喜び、「石田正宗｣と名付けて終生大切にしたという。
English: This "Masamune" sword was said to be given to Mitsunari by Hideyoshi, but the document "Token-Meibutsucho (Book of Special Swords)" issued in the Kyoho era of the Edo period said that Hideie UKITA bought it from Terumoto MORI and then gave it to Mitsunari.
Japanese: この「正宗」は三成が秀吉から拝領したものといわれるが、江戸時代の享保期に出版された書物｢刀剣名物帳」では、毛利輝元が所持していたものを宇喜多秀家が買い取り、三成に贈ったと記されている。
English: Mitsunari's concubine, Hatsume-no-Tsubone, was a kunoichi (a female ninja and part of a group of secret agents) sent by Ieyasu TOKUGAWA.
Japanese: 徳川家康が三成に側室として送り込んだくノ一といわれるのが初芽局である。
English: However, because she loved Mitsunari who had straightforward character, and betrayed Tokugawa, she was killed by the Tokugawa side (this Kunoichi was said to truly exist, and some have claimed to be her descendents).
Japanese: しかし彼女はまっすぐな性格の三成に惚れてしまい、徳川を裏切り、ついに徳川方に殺されたといわれる（モデルとなった女性は実在するらしく、子孫を自称する人物がいるという。
English: When Mitsunari received his first chigyo (fief) of 200 koku (or 400 koku) from Hideyoshi, he used up his entire chigyo to hire Kanbe WATANABE (as distinct from Satoru WATANABE) so that he had to live in Kanbe's residence.
Japanese: 三成は秀吉から初めて200石（400石とも）の知行を賜った時、その全てを投げ打って渡辺勘兵衛（渡辺了とは別人）を召し抱え、家臣である彼の屋敷に起居したという逸話がある。
English: Kanbe was the person whom Hideyoshi and Katsuie SHIBATA had wanted and offered a fief of 20,000 koku, but he responded by saying, "I will not serve for less than 100,000 koku," and rejected their offers.
Japanese: 勘兵衛は秀吉や柴田勝家から2万石の誘いを受けても「10万石でなければ仕える気はない」と断っていたほどの人物であった。
English: Later, Mitsunari offered Kanbe an addition to his chigyo, but Kanbe rejected it and served for Mitsunari for 200 (or 400) koku all his life.
Japanese: その後、勘兵衛は三成から何度も加増の話を受けるが、すべて断って終生200石（400石）で仕えたという。
English: The episode about hiring Sakon SHIMA might have become intermixed with this anecdote.
Japanese: 島左近召し抱えのエピソードは、この話が入り交じって伝えられたとされている。
English: Actually, he was in the middle of the battle (incidentally, Masanori FUKUSHIMA, who was in a military reconnaissance group, didn't have much participation in the Battle of Bunroku-no-eki War, and stayed in Japan during the Keicho-no-eki War).
Japanese: しかし、実際には激戦の真っ直中にいたのである（余談だが、武功派とされた福島正則は、文禄の役でも殆ど戦いには参加せず、慶長の役では日本国内にいた）。
English: Though Mitsunari was offered a dried persimmon before his execution, he said, "Persimmons aren't good for the health," and therefore refused to eat it.
Japanese: 斬首される前に三成は柿（干し柿）を勧められたが「柿を食べると身体に障る」と言って食べなかったとされる。
English: He was told, "You'll be executed soon, so this isn't the time to worry about your health," and was laughed at derisively; but he simply answered, "A person of great ambition never gives up."
Japanese: これに対して「すぐに死ぬ身が身体を気にする場合ではなかろう」と嘲笑されると、「大事を成す者は最期の最期まであきらめないものだ」と答えたという。
English: A legend states that once, when Hideyoshi was thirsty, he stopped by Kannon-ji Temple in Omi to ask for tea, and Mitsunari, who was a tera-kosho (boy doing the chores of a temple) at that time, served tea.
Japanese: 近江国観音寺にのどの渇きを覚えた秀吉が立ち寄り、寺小姓だった三成に茶を所望したのを出会いとするもの。
English: It was one of the widespread misconceptions that Mitsunari had idolized Yodo-dono, who was a daughter of the former master (Azai clan).
Japanese: 一般的に広まっている誤解に、三成は旧主（浅井氏）の姫である淀殿を崇拝していたというものがある。
English: The reason for the misconception is assumed to be that both Mitsunari and Yodo-dono were from Omi, but the Ishida Family was a local ruling family that had an adversarial relationship with the Azai clan.
Japanese: これは両者が近江出身ということからイメージされたものと推測されるが、三成の石田家はたしかに近江の土豪だが浅井氏とは敵対関係にあった。
English: Another misconception is that Hideyoshi was not Hideyori TOYOTOMI's father but Mitsunari was, having engaged in intrigue with Yodo-dono.
Japanese: また、豊臣秀頼が豊臣秀吉の実子ではなく三成が淀殿と密通して生ませた子であるという説がある。
English: However, in "Hagihan-batsuetsuroku (History Book of the Hagi Domain)," which was the basis for portraying Yodo-dono's bad behavior, her rumored affair was mentioned as having occurred after Hideyoshi's death, and that her lover was Harunaga Ono.
Japanese: しかし、淀殿不行跡の史料的根拠である「萩藩閥閲録」において、その風聞があったのは秀吉の死後で、かつ相手も大野治長と記載がある。
English: Moreover, this historical data was issued after the mid-Edo period, and therefore the current widely held theory was that this story was created by scholars who pandered to the Edo government in order to demean Mitsunari and Yodo-dono.
Japanese: 及びこの話の出典が江戸中期以降ということから、現在では三成や淀殿を貶めるために幕府の御用学者が捏造したとの説が有力である。
English: It is physically impossible that Mitsunari became Hideyori's father because Hideyori was born in August, 1593 and Mitsunari had been on an expedition to the Korean Peninsula since the previous year.
Japanese: 秀頼は1593年8月生まれであり、前年から朝鮮半島に赴いていた（文禄の役）三成が淀殿に子どもを産ませることは物理的に不可能である。
