Shimazu Yoshihisa was the 16th head of the [[Shimazu clan]].
A son of [[Shimazu Takahisa]], he is known for reuniting the provinces of [[Satsuma province|Satsuma]], [[Osumi province|Ôsumi]], and [[Hyuga province|Hyûga]] under Shimazu control, and came close to conquering all of [[Kyushu]] before being defeated by [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]], whose [[Kyushu Campaign]] of [[1587]] came just as Yoshihisa was about to complete his conquests. Following the [[battle of Sekigahara]], he was reaffirmed in his territory by [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] in [[1602]], but was not granted permission to invade [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]]; the [[invasion of Ryukyu|invasion]] would come seven years later, under his successor, [[Shimazu Tadatsune|Shimazu Iehisa]], who was eventually granted permission by the shogunate.
