Horio served [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] from the early 1560's onward. He was involved in the capture of [[Inabayama castle]] from the [[Saito clan|Saito]] in [[1567]] and accompanied Hideyoshi to [[Omi province|Ômi province]] when the latter received a fief there in [[1574]]. Yoshiharu led a contingent of troops at the [[battle of Yamazaki]] in [[1582]] and was awarded Hamamatsu in [[1590]]. He was nominally aligned with [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] in the [[Sekigahara Campaign]] ([[1600]]) but took little or no part in the actual fighting. In the aftermath of the [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]] victory, he was given a 235,000-koku fief at Matsue in [[Izumo province]]. Yasuharu, a good-natured individual, was perhaps the only [[Sengoku Period]] general to receive the nickname Hotoke, or 'Buddha'.
Son: [[Horio Tadauji]] (Izumo no kami; 1575-1604)
