Biography[edit]

Born as the eldest son of Katō Mitsuyasu, a retainer of Hashiba Hideyoshi (later Toyotomi Hideyoshi[5]), in 1580, Katō Mitsuyasu succeeded his father at the age of 14 after his father's death in the Korean campaign in August 1593, ruling over Kai Province with 24,000 koku. In 1594, he was appointed and granted the Toyotomi surname. Then, in 1595, he was transferred to Kurono Domain.[6] During the Battle of Sekigahara[7], initially following Ishida Mitsunari, Mitsutaka later sent his younger brother Mitsunao as a hostage to Tokugawa Ieyasu[8] in Edo, pledging loyalty to Ieyasu.[9] He then worked to persuade the defenders of Inuyama Castle to support Ieyasu and fought alongside the Eastern forces at the main battle of Sekigahara against the Shimazu army led by Shimazu Yoshihiro. After the battle, he achieved success in the Siege of Okayama Castle defended by the Western forces, and was granted land by Tokugawa Ieyasu. While at Kurono Castle, Mitsutaka participated in the construction of Kanou Castle and Hikone Castle[10]. He also focused on building dikes to prevent flooding in the Nagara River basin, earning the admiration of his subjects who named the dike Jo-no-Tsutsumi after him.[11]. On July 15th, he was granted an additional 20,000 koku and became the lord of the Hōki-Matsue Domain, which now totaled 60,000 koku. During the Osaka Campaign[12] in 1614, he fought on the Tokugawa's side and achieved military exploits.[13][14] In 1617, he was transferred to Ōzu Domain. He died on May 22, 1623, at the age of 44. His eldest son, Yasutaka, succeeded him.
