Katō Yoshiaki

Katō Yoshiaki

nihongo|Katō Yoshiaki|加藤嘉明| (1563 - 1631) was one of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's top generals, and commanded elements of Hideyoshi's fleet in his invasions of Korea and campaigns in Kyūshū at the end of the Sengoku period of Japanese history.

Following the battle of Shizugatake, Katō became known as one of the "shichi-hon-yari" (七本槍), or Seven Spears of Shizugatake, Hideyoshi's seven most trusted and experienced generals.

After Hideyoshi's death, Katō fought alongside Tokugawa Ieyasu. Following the important victory at Sekigahara, Tokugawa doubled Katō's fief from 100,000 "koku" to 200,000. For a time, he was lord of Aizu.
