Toyotomi Retainer and Castle Lord

前野長康

birth year unknown – 1595

From his position as lord of Miki Castle in Harima, he was transferred around Tenshō 13 to Arikoyama Castle in Tajima, and is said to have been involved in the reconstruction of the stone walls of Arikoyama Castle, originally built by Yamana Suketomi. Regarding the Bunroku campaign, he is said to have remained at Nagoya in Hizen Province, though specific combat participation on the Korean peninsula is unclear from the records. According to tradition, he was ordered to commit suicide in connection with the Toyotomi Hidetsugu incident in Bunroku 4, but the specific details of his position and circumstances have been questioned, as they may derive from military chronicles such as Buko Yawa, with limited corroborating evidence from contemporary documents.
