* ''Birth: [[1550]]''
* ''Death: [[1618]]''
* ''Other names: Kakizaki Yoshihiro''
* ''Distinction: [[Ezo province|Ezo]] warlord''
Matsumae Yoshihiro was the lord of the Sonogi area of Ezo province (Hokkaido) and submitted to [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] in [[1590]], bringing troops to the reduction of [[Kunoe castle]] the following year. Until the time of Yoshihiro, the [[Matsumae clan|Matsumae]] were known as the 'Kakizaki' clan - this would change in [[1606]], when Yoshihiro visited [[Kyoto]] and [[Osaka]]. He became known as 'Matsumae' Yoshihiro while showing a map of Matsumae, the town in Ezo where his clan was originally from, to a group of the late Hideyoshi's chief retainers at [[Osaka castle]]. Yoshihiro had reportedly many [[Ainu]] in his army, and these were well-known for their special poisoned arrows, although it is not known how effective these arrows were in battle, if employed at all.
