Changes

Yasuharu entered the service of [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] and fought for him in [[Tamba province]] ([[1576]]-[[1577|77]]) at Kuroi and at Yamazaki ([[1582]]). He afterwards joined [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and distinguished himself at [[Battle of Shizugatake|Shizugatake]], being named one of the 'Seven Spears' of that battle. He received the fief of Awaji Island in [[1585]] and became known as a naval commander, directing ships during the [[Kyushu Campaign|Kyushu]] and [[Odawara Campaign|Odawara Campaigns]]. He was one of Hideyoshi's primary naval commanders in the [[Korean Invasions|Korean Campaigns]] but was heavily defeated by the Korean Admiral Yi Sun Shin at the [[Battle of Hasendo]] ([[1592]]). He led almost 1,000 men to the [[Battle of Sekigahara]] as part of the western army, though just beforehand he decided to actually join [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]]. He was postioned with [[Kobayakawa Hideaki]] and joined him in betraying [[Ishida Mitsunari]] and the western cause. He was afterwards given a fief in [[Iyo province]] worth some 50,000 koku, from which he was moved [[1617]] to Iida in [[Shinano province]]. Yasuharu was also known as Wakizaka Jinnai and came to hold the rank of Nakatsukasa-shosuke. He was noted for the silver pelt he carried - given to him by Hatano retainer [[Akai Naomasa]] before the latter committed suicide in 1576.
