Satake Yoshinobu (1570-1633) Satake Yoshinobu, the eldest son of Satake Yoshishige. During the year of 1589, Yoshinobu officially became the head of the Satake clan. During the year of 1590, Yoshinobu joined Toyotomi Hideyoshi, assisting him during the Siege of Odawara. Hideyoshi then confirmed the Satake's holdings in the provinces of Hitachi and Shimosa which was worth some 545,800 koku.

heh, not quite.
I was searching for a more famous man. A famous daimyo in the sengouku jidai period.
Hint, he was born in the 1520's.(the father of that son)

good luck!
