Matsura Shigenobu was the son of [[Matsura Takanobu (1529-1599)|Matsura Takanobu]], and was a [[Sengoku period]] ''daimyô'' of [[Hirado]].  

Matsura Shigenobu was the son of [[Matsura Takanobu (1529-1599)|Matsura Takanobu]], and was ''daimyô'' of [[Hirado]] from the late [[Sengoku period]] into the beginning of the [[Edo period]].  

Shigenobu became lord in [[1568]] and defeated his rivals the [[So clan|Sô]] (of [[Tsushima]]) in [[1572]]. He briefly submitted to the authority of the [[Ryuzoji clan|Ryûzôji clan]], before giving his support to [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] during the latter's [[Kyushu Campaign]] of [[1587]]. Though Shigenobu officially retired in favor of his son [[Matsura Hisanobu|Hisanobu]] in [[1589]], he led some 3,000 men to Korea under [[Konishi Yukinaga]] in the [[Korean Invasions|1st Korean Campaign]], and again in the 2nd Campaign, gaining fame for leading an attack at Namwön. As a result of his activities in 1587 and in Korea, the Matsura domain was increased to include the [[Sonogi]] area in Hizen and [[Iki Island]], bringing the domain to a total size of 63,000 ''[[koku]]''. Shigenobu remained neutral during the [[Sekigahara Campaign]] and did not suffer the loss of any lands as a result; he came aboard the English ship ''Clove'' in [[1613]], an event recorded by [[John Saris]].
