## Introduction

**Sengoku Hime 1:**
She is the eldest of the four Shimadzu sisters and the current head of the Shimadzu family. She is also known as "Yoshinee. She has a calm personality that one would not expect from the head of a feudal family, and no matter how severe the situation may be, she always makes optimistic comments to put those around her at ease (or is it to make them feel stupid?). She is the mother of the Shimadzu sisters, who have no parents. She professes to be a mother figure to the Shimadzu sisters, who have no parents, but she is not very good at cooking, laundry, or any other household chores. Cooking in particular is fatal to her, and she has been ordered by her sisters to stay out of the kitchen because she is certain to explode when she cooks. However, when her sisters leave her alone, she breaks into the kitchen and tries her hand at cooking a new dish, causing the kitchen to burst into flames. Every time he is scolded by his sisters, he runs away crying and retreats to the back of the house. However, he comes out when it is time for dinner, so no one is particularly concerned about him. Her personality, which always smiles and treats everyone with open arms, even to the dismay of those around her, is the emotional support not only of the Shimazu sisters but also of the Shimazu vassals, making her an indispensable presence for everyone.

## Historical Information

Shimazu Yoshihisa (島津義久, February 9, 1533 – March 5, 1611) was a powerful daimyō and the 16th Chief of Shimazu clan of Satsuma Province, the eldest son of Shimazu Takahisa. He was renowned as a great general, who managed to subjugate Kyushu through the deft maneuvering of his three brothers. Eventually in 1584, Yoshihisa succeeded controlled the entire Kyushu region.

In 1566, he succeeded his father as the head of Shimazu clan, becoming the clan's sixteenth leader.
During Shimazu's attempt to unify Kyushu, other clans appealed to Toyotomi Hideyoshi for help; in 1584 the Otomo and Ryuzoji asked Hideyoshi for aid, and though he had been unable to help at that time, Hideyoshi interceded, requesting that Yoshihisa make peace with Otomo. In response, Yoshihisa derided his attempt to intervene, not seeing Hideyoshi as being in a position to invade Kyushu.
In 1585, Yoshihisa took Otomo's Iwaya castle resulted after the Shimazu invasion of Chikuzen Province. Later, the Otomo leaders travelled to Osaka itself, seeking to persuade Hideyoshi to help. Hideyoshi was impressed with this embassy, and presumably agreed to help. Yoshihisa, seeing that Hideyoshi was prepared to invade, sent a message to Hideyoshi, claiming that he had attacked the other clans in self-defence, but Hideyoshi refused and leads his forces to Kyushu.
In 1586, Kyushu Campaign by Toyotomi Hideyoshi begin. The Ōtomo forces led by Myorin, were supported by armies under Sengoku Hidehisa, Chōsokabe Motochika and Sogō Masayasu, delayed Shimazu forces and weakened them in preparation for the arrival of Hideyoshi's armies. Hideyoshi mobilised a force of 200,000 soldiers and 20,000 pack animals, transporting supplies for an even larger army of 300,000 men. Toyotomi Hidenaga led the vanguard of 25,000 men and 3,000 horses. By April 1587 Hideyoshi had reached the straits at Shimonoseki, moving through Chikuzen and Chikugo to attack Yoshihisa in Higo. At this point Mōri forces under Kobayakawa Takakage joined Hidenaga's force, as the Mōri had been recently suppressed. Hidenaga then drove back the Shimazu forces in Hyūga and Bungo. The Shimazu fought well, but had few firearms and lacked discipline and training; they were steadily overwhelmed through the superior quality and quantity. By the end of May 1587, the various island daimyos had turned to Hideyoshi's side. In June, Shimazu was routed in Satsuma itself, and Hideyoshi laid Siege of Kagoshima castle. Yoshihisa sued for peace, and a truce was agreed. Hideyoshi offered generous terms for a lasting peace to son of Yoshihiro's and Iehisa's; though Yoshihisa initially refused the offer, Hideyoshi tried again and was this time successful.
