Question: Information: - He was adopted by Hideyoshi and called himself "Hashu Hidetoshi" ( ) and "Shusen" (). He was then again adopted by Kobayakawa Takakage and renamed himself "Hideaki". Because he had gained the rank of "Saemon no Kami" () or in China "Shikkingo" () at genpuku and held the title of "Chnagon" (), Hideaki was also called "Kingo Chnagon" (). - Genpuku (), a Japanese coming-of-age ceremony modeled after an early Tang Dynasty Chinese custom, dates back to Japan's classical Nara Period (710794AD). This ceremony marked the transition from child to adult status and the assumption of adult responsibilities. The age of participation varied throughout history and depended on factors such as sex, political climate, and social status. Most participants were aristocratic children between the ages of 10 and 20, and most descriptions of genpuku focus on the male ceremony rather that the female ceremony due to the exclusion of women from politically important court positions and warrior status. Important changes in clothing and hairstyle typically denoted this transition, for both men and women. Youth and children were often synonymous, and a period of adolescence was not often present throughout the periods in which traditional genpuku flourished. The etymology of the word, which is atypical, reflects the major points of genpuku ceremonial format; in this case "gen" ()means "head" and "fuku" () means "wearing". The ceremony is also known as kakan (), uikburi (), kanrei (), shufuku (), and hatsu-motoyui (). - Kobayakawa Hidekane ( , 1567 -- April 24 , 1601 ) was a Japanese samurai , the ninth son of Mri Motonari .
