Suzuki Shigetomo

• Distinction: Toyotomi retainer

Shigetomo was a son of Suzuki Sadayu and like his brother, Shigehide, was an expert in the deployment of arquebusiers. He came to serve Toyotomi Hideyoshi and served with Shigehide in Korea. In 1600 he sided with Ishida Mitsunari and was present at the Seige of Tanabe. The events of his life following the conclusion of the Sekigahara Campaign are unclear and he appears to be confused in the records with his brother (or vice versa).
