Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣 秀吉, 1537–1598) was a daimyō, warrior, general, and politician of the late 16th century who unified Japan under the Tokugawa shogunate, which ruled from the end of the Azuchi-Momoyama period until the Meiji Restoration. Hideyoshi is often regarded as one of the three great unifiers of Japan, along with his predecessor Oda Nobunaga and his successor Tokugawa Ieyasu. In Hebrew, his name can be translated as טוֹיוֹטוֹמִי הִידְיוֹשִׁי. In Japanese, he is also known as Hashiba Hideyoshi (羽柴 秀吉) and Sakai no Kami (坂井の守). Born a peasant, Hideyoshi rose to power from humble origins, serving initially as a sandal bearer to Oda Nobunaga. His strategic brilliance and political acumen were instrumental in the unification of Japan, and he implemented policies such as the sword hunts and the restriction of peasant uprisings, which laid the groundwork for the Tokugawa shogunate. Hideyoshi's ambitious military campaigns, including the invasions of Korea, marked the height of his reign but ultimately ended in failure. His legacy includes the construction of Osaka Castle and the promotion of cultural endeavors, such as the famous tea ceremony.
