Hidie was a son of [[Ukita Naoie]] and was largely raised by [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] as something of a protegé. His position as lord of the [[Ukita clan|Ukita]] had earlier been confirmed by [[Oda Nobunaga]]. He received the title of Chûnagon in [[1594]] and acted as a chief field commander in the [[Second Korean Campaign]]. He served as one of the five regents ([[Go-tairo]]) following Hideyoshi's death in [[1598]] and from [[Okayama castle]] ruled over Bizen, [[Mimasaka province|Mimasaka]], and part of [[Bitchu province|Bitchû]] provinces (yielding an income of around 575,000 [[koku]]). He sided with [[Ishida Mitsunari]] in [[1600]] and commanded 17,000 troops at the [[Battle of Sekigahara]] (the largest loyal--and active--'western' contingent present). The Ukita troops fought very well in the battle but were overwhelmed when attacked by the turncoat [[Kobayakawa Hideaki]]. Following the general defeat of Mitsunari's army, Hidie went into hiding, seeking refuge with the [[Shimazu clan|Shimazu]]. In [[1603]] he was revealed by [[Shimazu Iehisa]] and [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] at first ordered his execution. That sentence was reduced to exile, and Hideie died at the age of 90 on [[Hachijô Island]] - possibly the last of the Toyotomi-era [[daimyo|daimyô]] to die.
