Changes

Yoshinobu was the eldest son of [[Satake Yoshishige]] and was officially named the head of the [[Satake clan|Satake]] in [[1589]]. He joined [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] in [[1590]] and sent troops to assist in the [[Siege of Odawara]]. Hideyoshoi afterwards confirmed the Satake's holdings in Hitachi and [[Shimosa province|Shimôsa]] (worth some 545,800 [[koku]]). During the [[Sekigahara Campaign]] ([[1600]]), he at first thought to side with [[Ishida Mitsunari]] and assist [[Uesugi Kagekatsu]] but in the event effectively did nothing. Owing to his father's intercession, [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] only transferred him to [[Akita]] (in [[Mutsu province]]), with an income of 200,000 koku. He fought for the Tokugawa at [[Osaka Campaigns|Osaka Castle]] ([[1614]], [[1615]]) and there fought hard at the [[Battle of Imafuku]]. His private life is said to have been a sad one, as his first wife evidently committed suicide at the age of 24 and his principal concubine also died young due to illness.
