- Son: Kimura Shigemasa
- Distinction: Toyotomi retainer
Hidetoshi was a former retainer of Akechi Mitsuhide who later served Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In 1590 he was given a 300,000-koku fief in Mutsu province at Toyama but in 1591 his poor administration and that of his son Shigemasa touched of a revolt of former Kasai and Ôsaki retainers and farmers that had to be put down by Date Masamune. Hidetoshi and his son were soon afterwards dispossessed.
