| During the [[Kanto Campaign]] ([[1590]]) Fukushima took part in the attack on Nirayama, though the [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]] forces he was assigned to failed to reduce it. When the [[Korean Campaign]] began ([[1592]]) Masanori was the Lord of Imaharu in [[Iyo province|Iyo]], (Shikoku), and was called upon to lead some 4,800 troops in the so-called Fifth Division, which also included the forces of [[Chosokabe clan|Chosokabe]] and [[Hachisuka Iemasa]]. During the course of the campaign, Fukushima, like the majority of samurai serving on the peninsula, was to be tied down fighting guerillas, in his case those of [[Chungchong province]]. | | During the [[Kanto Campaign]] ([[1590]]) Fukushima took part in the attack on Nirayama, though the [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]] forces he was assigned to failed to reduce it.
