**Shimazu Yoshihiro**  (島津 (しまづ)義弘 (よしひろ), *****Shimazu Yoshihiro*****? Shimazu Yoshihiro) is a retainer of the Shimazu Clan. She made her debut since Sengoku Hime 1, and has appeared in all 7 of the games in the Sengoku Hime series and Jangoku Hime.

## Introduction

**Sengoku Hime 1:**
Second daughter of the four Shimadzu sisters. Also known as Hiro-chan.
She is in charge of the Shimadzu sisters' military power. She is strangely earnest and has a preachy personality. She is a brave and daring general who always takes the lead in leading her troops in battle, but she is shy when it comes to love. He enjoys working out and is proud of his toned body, but is a little concerned about his small breasts.
Perhaps because she has taken care of her two younger sisters, she has an oddly nosy disposition and cannot leave anyone in need. He is worried about his sister Yoshihisa's defenselessness toward men, and scenes such as Yoshihisa hugging the protagonist as a form of skinship and Yoshihiro punishing the protagonist are a common occurrence in the Shimazu family. The protagonist is in the midst of a Happening, when he appears in a well-timed (or badly timed?) scene. He appears in broad daylight, saying, "You are a disgrace! and chases the main character around with her favorite naginata sword.

島津姉妹の武力担当。 妙に真面目くさく、 説教じみた性格。 合戦においては常に先頭に立って兵を導く勇猛果敢な将だが、恋愛ごとには奥手。趣味は体を鍛える事で、引き締まったボディラインが自慢だが、胸が小さいのを少し気にしている。
2人の妹を世話してきたためか、妙におせっかい焼きなところがあり、困っている人を放っておけない面がある。 姉義久の男に対する無防備さを心配しており、 義久がスキンシップと称して主人公に抱きつく→義弘による主人公への制裁 などの光景が島津家では日常茶飯事となっている。 主人公がHなハプニングに遭過している時にかぎってタイミング良く(悪く?)登場「白昼堂々この破廉恥がぁー!!」と言いながら愛用の薙刀をブンブン振)回して主人公を追い掛け回す。

She is the most quick-witted, knowledgeable, and clever of the four sisters.However, she is extremely confident and calls herself a genius. She is the brains of the Shimazu family.

He treats the main character badly, calling him a "stupid pussy" and dismissing him when he calls out to him.

## Historical Information

Shimazu Yoshihiro (島津 義弘, August 21, 1535 – August 30, 1619) was the second son of Shimazu Takahisa and the young brother of Shimazu Yoshihisa. Traditionally believed to be the 17th head of the Shimazu clan, he was a skilled general during the Sengoku period who greatly contributed to the unification of Kyūshū.

Yoshihiro along with Niiro Tadamoto defeated the Itō clan at the Battle of Kizaki, in 1572, and defeated the Otomo clan with his brothers in the 1578 at Battle of Mimigawa. In 1587, facing Toyotomi Hideyoshi's troops that sought to pacify Kyūshū, Yoshihiro pressed for war even after his brother and the head of clan Yoshihisa surrendered. After Yoshihisa repeatedly asked for the surrender, Yoshihiro finally accepted. After Yoshihisa became a Buddhist monk, it was believed that he became the head of the clan, though the real power remained in Yoshihisa's hands.
He had been a willing and skillful general under Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In both 1592 and 1597 of the Seven-Year War, Yoshihiro set his foot on the Korean peninsula and successfully carried out a series of battles. In 1597, working together with Tōdō Takatora, Katō Yoshiaki and Konishi Yukinaga, Yoshihiro defeated Won Kyun's navy. At the Battle of Sacheon (泗川) in 1598, facing a Ming army counting 37,000, Yoshihiro defeated them with only 7,000 soldiers. Shimazu troops under Yoshihiro were called "Oni-Shimazu" ("Shimazu demons" or "Shimazu ogres)" by the Ming soldiers. On the final battle of the war in 1598, the Battle of Noryang, Yoshihiro's objective was to cross the Noryang Strait, link up with Konishi and retreat to Japan. The Korean admiral Yi Sun-sin who had obstructed Yoshiaki died in this battle. Afterward, Yoshihiro rescued the Japanese commanders and returned to Japan.
After Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death in 1598, the land became split between Toyotomi supporters backing Ishida Mitsunari and those that supported Tokugawa Ieyasu, eventually culminating in the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600. According to novels (Rakusuishū 『落穂集』) of the Edo Period, Yoshihiro was initially supposed to Ieyasu's side. He was crushed by Ishida Mitsunari's army upon his arrival for a rescue Torii Mototada during the siege of Fushimi Castle and, after being humiliated, he took the side of Ishida Mitsunari instead. However, recent research indicated that Yoshihiro had chosen to side with Mitsunari from the very start, before Mōri Terumoto announced the declaration of war against the Tokugawa in July 1600. Yoshihiro also played an important role as a member of Mitsunari's core staff and was pivotal in persuading Uesugi Kagekatsu to ally with them.
According to the scripts of Yoshihiro's subordinate Kando Kutarō, Yoshihiro got along with Mitsunari from the start, but their relationship was distorted by the novelists of the Edo Period. It was said that Mitsunari did not listen to any of Yoshihiro's plans, including a surprise night attack on the day before the actual battle of Sekigahara. On the day of the battle, Yoshihiro and his 1500 men held ground and did not fight at all. After the rest of Mitsunari's side was wiped out, Yoshihiro was stranded among at least 30,000 of Ieyasu's troops. Vastly outnumbered, Yoshihiro tried to make a charge against Ieyasu himself but after his nephew Shimazu Toyohisa demanded that he not kill himself over a meaningless battle, Yoshihiro instead chose to charge straight through Ieyasu's troop to make an exit to the other side.
Yoshihiro had his troops make a fighting retreat called Sutegamari (捨て奸), where until a certain number of men died holding a position and repelling an attack, the main body of the army fought as well. Though Toyohisa and the bulk of the troops died, the charge and retreat were a success with a wound dealt to Ii Naomasa in the process. After beating back the chase, he picked up his wife at Sumiyoshi in Settsu Province and returned to Satsuma Province by ships. The Japanese historian Shiramine Jun studied why the Shimazu clan behaved torpidly and deduced it was because Yoshihiro had become involved in the power struggling between his brother Yoshihisa and Ijūin Tadamune. It led Yoshihiro losing the support of Yoshihisa, which trapped Yoshihiro due to the lack of support from the Shimazu clan.
