Shimazu Sadahisa was the fifth head of the [[Shimazu clan]].
The son of [[Shimazu Tadamune]],
In [[1333]], Sadahisa joined the [[Otomo clan|Ôtomo]] and [[Shoni clan|Shôni clans]] in siding with [[Emperor Go-Daigo]] and [[Ashikaga Takauji]] against the [[Kamakura shogunate]]. Among his chief contributions to this military effort was invading [[Dazaifu (city)|Dazaifu]]; as a reward, he was granted authority over [[Osumi province|Ôsumi]] and [[Hyuga province|Hyûga provinces]], restoring Shimazu control over the full range of territory [[Shimazu Tadahisa]] held 120 years earlier.
When Takauji rebelled against Emperor Go-Daigo, Sadahisa joined Takauji in this as well, fighting against the [[Nejime clan|Nejime]], [[Taniyama clan|Taniyama]], and [[Ijuin clan|Ijûin clans]]. In [[1341]], Sadahisa took the [[Southern Court]] fortress of [[Tofukuji castle|Tôfukuji castle]] (located within his territory, in [[Kagoshima]] city), and named his son [[Shimazu Ujihisa]] castellan.
Sadahisa then defected to the side of the Southern Court in order to attack Go-Daigo's son, [[Prince Kaneyoshi]], but returned again to the side of the [[Northern Court]] shortly afterwards. When, in the Kannô era (1350-1352), Sadahisa sided with Takauji against the latter's son, [[Ashikaga Tadayoshi]].
He died in [[1363]], at the age of 95. Since his eldest son, [[Shimazu Munehisa]], died young, the succession was divided between Sadahisa's other sons, [[Shimazu Morohisa]] and [[Shimazu Ujihisa]].
