Line 3: − Hidemoto was the eldest son of [[Mori Motokiyo|Môri Motokiyo]] ([[Mori Motonari|Motonari's]] 4th son) and was [[Mori Terumoto|Terumoto's]] cousin. Before [[Battle of Sekigahara|Sekigahara]] he governed [[Suo province|Suo]] and [[Nagato province|Nagato]]. In [[1600]] he led a force that brought down [[Annotsu castle]] in the opening moves of the [[Sekigahara Campaign]] and at the Battle of Sekigahara he personally commanded a 15,000 man unit positioned on Mt. Nangû and was willing to offer battle. [[Kikkawa Hiroie]], however, positioned to his front, had decided not to challenge the Tokugawa, and would not move. Hidemoto was therefore unable to lend his weight to the Western army and retreated without fighting. After the battle, his personal fief was later reduced by the Tokugawa to 50,000 koku (from 200,000). + − + +
