== Ujinao, The 5th Odawara Hôjô daimyô ==

After a dispute between the Hôjô and Tokugawa concerning the ruler of the provinces of [[Shinano province|Shinano]] and [[Kai province|Kai]], the Tokugawa agreed to a truce, giving the Hôjô part of Kai. Soon after tension ceased between these two clans, Ujinao even married Tokugawa Ieyasu's daughter Tokuhime in 1584. This was about the time Ujimasa stepped down as ''daimyô'' of the Hôjô clan, Ujinao then took his father's former place, but in reality Ujimasa continued to rule his domain with his son.

During the events after Honnôji, [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] took over Akechi Mitsuhide's place as unifier of Japan by defeating him at Yamazaki. Hideyoshi had united everyone under his banner, including Tokugawa Ieyasu, except the Hôjô. Tokugawa advised that the Hôjô should submit to Hideyoshi, but this advice fell on deaf ears, and Hideyoshi began his [[Odawara Campaign|siege of Odawara]] in 1590. Ujinao wished to attack Hideyoshi's 200,000 men on the field with his 50,000, but decided to use defensive strategies instead. After all, taking a defensive position inside the castle had put an end to earlier sieges made by the Uesugi and the Takeda, both of which had ran out of supplies. Unfortunately for the Hôjô though, the Toyotomi were prepared and had an endless amount of supplies. Thus after three months of practically no fighting the Hôjô surrendered.
