Kabayama Hisataka
Kabayama Gonzaemon Hisataka (樺山 権左衛門 久高, 1560 – 1634) was a Japanese samurai of the early Edo period.[1] He was a retainer, senior advisor (karō), and senior deputy commander in the service of the Shimazu clan.
Early life
Hisataka was born into the fifth generation of the Shimazu family line, adopting 'Kabayama' as his surname in respect to the birch (樺, kaba)-covered mountaintop (山, yama) upon which his castle domain had been constructed.
Warrior
In 1609, Hisataka led military forces of the Shimazu clan against the Kingdom of Ryukyu.[2] The Invasion of Ryukyu was successful.
