* ''Distinction: Court noble''
Hachijo was a younger brother of the [[Emperor Go-Yozei]]. [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] adopted Hachijo in [[1588]] in an effort to strengthen Toyotomi and Imperial ties. In [[1590]] he was given land worth 3,000 koku and was slated to act as Hideyoshi's governor of Japan after China's hoped-for submission (during the Korean Invasion of [[1592]]-[[1593|93).
