He served under his uncle [[Shimazu Yoshihiro|Yoshihiro]] in the [[Odawara Campaign]] ([[1590]]), in the [[Korean Invasions]], and accompanied him to the [[Battle of Sekigahara]]. In the course of the retreat at the conclusion of the battle, Toyohisa was killed fending off enemy troops, though he is credited with allowing Yoshihiro to escape.
