was a samurai retainer of Toyotomi Hideyoshi during Japan's Sengoku period, and the son of Mōri Motonari. Adopted by the head of the Kobayakawa clan, Takakage took his name, and succeeded his adoptive father to become head of the Kobayakawa clan following his death in 1545. As head of the Kobayakawa clan, he expanded the clan's territory in the Chūgoku region (western Honshū), and fought for the Mōri clan in all their campaigns; for a time, he also opposed both the great warlords Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He later swore loyalty to Hideyoshi, however, and entered his service; he was then awarded domains in Iyo Province on Shikoku and Chikuzen Province on Kyūshū, totalling 350,000 ''koku''. Takakage took part in Hideyoshi's invasions of Shikoku, Kyūshū, and Korea, and adopted Kobayakawa Hideaki, formerly an adopted son of Hideyoshi, and named him successor to the clan. ==Family== *Father: Mōri Motonari (1497–1571) *Brothers: * * Mōri Takamoto (1523–1563) * * Kikkawa Motoharu (1530–1586) * * Mōri Motokiyo (1551–1597) *Adopted son: * * Kobayakawa Hidekane (1567–1601) (also Takakage's half-brother) * * Kobayakawa Hideaki (1577–1602) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kobayakawa Takakage」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
