Historical Information[]

In 1576, Otomo Yoshimune succeeded Sorin and authorized the campaign to drive the Shimazu clan from Hyuga province. When the Otomo clan lost to the Shimazu at Mimigawa, Yoshimune had to keep rebellious vassals in shape. After Ryuzoji Takanobu died, Yoshimune led his forces into Ryuzoji turf. When Bungo was attacked, Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent a force led by Chosokabe Motochika and Sengoku Hidehisa to Funai. Yoshimune led his forces to Toshimitsu castle against advice from Motochika. The result was the Battle of Hetsugigawa where Yoshimune suffered a humiliating defeat. Yoshimune fled back to Funai but then left it for Shimazu to take over. As Toyotomi forces drove deep into the heart of the Shimazu, Yoshimune became daimyo of Bungo. In the invasion of Korea, Yoshimune Otomo led 6,000 men to Pyong,yang and was easily beaten without even aid from Konishi Yukinaga. At the battle of Sekigahara, Yoshimune sided his clan with the Western army. 5 years after the campaign, Yoshimune had died.
