Shigenobu was the son of [[Matsuura Takanobu]] and ruled [[Hirado Island]]. He became [[daimyo|daimyô]] in [[1568]] and defeated his rivals the [[So clan|Sô]] (of [[Tsushima Island]]) in [[1572]]. He briefly submitted to the authority of the [[Ryuzoji clan|Ryûzôji]], then gave his support to [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] during the latter's [[Kyushu Campaign]] ([[1587]]). Though he had officially retired in favor of his son [[Matsuura Hisanobu|Hisanobu]] in [[1589]], he led some 3,000 men to Korea under [[Konishi Yukinaga]] in the 1st Korean Campaign, and again in the 2nd Campaign, gaining fame for leading an attack at Namwön. As a result of his activities in [[1587]] and in Korea, the Matsuura domain was increased to include the [[Sonogi]] area in Hizen and [[Iki Island]], for a total of 63,000 [[koku]]. He remained neutral during the [[Sekigahara Campaign]] but did not suffer the loss of any lands as a result; he came aboard the English ship Clove in [[1613]], an event recorded by John Saris. Shigenobu was ultimately succeeded by his grandson [[Matsuura Takanobu|Takanobu]].
