Prince Hachijō / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prince Hachijō Toshihito (八条宮 智仁親王, Hachijō-no-miya Toshihito, 3 February 1579 – 29 May 1629) was a court noble of Japan during the Sengoku period. Toshihito was the younger brother of Emperor Go-Yōzei. After 1588 Toyotomi Hideyoshi adopted Toshihito in an effort to greatly strengthen the Toyotomi and the Imperial ties. In 1590, Hideyoshi gave Toshihito 3,000 koku worth of land and was slated to act as Hideyoshi's governor of Japan during China's anticipated cession of influence in Korea during the invasions of 1592–1593.
