Shima Sakon, also known as Shima Tomoyuki, was initially a retainer of [[Tsutsui Junkei]]. He left the service of the Tsutsui and later became a retainer of [[Ishida Mitsunari]]. He was one of Mitsunari's chief lieutenants during the [[Sekigahara Campaign]]. He quarreled just prior to the battle with [[Shimazu Yoshihiro]] when the latter suggested a night attack, which Shima opposed. He commanded 1,000 men at the [[Battle of Sekigahara]] but was struck by rifle fire and died on the battlefield.
