 Shimazu Yoshihisa
Determined to nip the Shimazu menace in the bud, the father and son team of Ôtomo Sôrin and Yoshimune gathered a great army from the considerable Ôtomo domain (which included much of northern Kyushu) and marched into southern Hyûga.
The attack did come, and it was nearly ruinous for the Shimazu: a number of generals were killed under the sheer weight of the charge, which tore deeply into the Shimazu army.
While the Shimazu worked to consolidate their hold over Southern Kyushu and hold on to their forts in Higo, the Ryûzôji were active on another front, forcing the smaller clans of the Shimabara area of Hizen to submit.

Shimazu Tadahisa (島津忠久; 1179-August 1, 1227) is the first in the line of Shimazu clan.
He was initially Koremune Tadayoshi (惟宗忠久) but after given Shimazu, Hyuga Province to rule from Minamoto no Yoritomo, he took the name of Shimazu.
While there is a story that he was born as a son of Yoritomo, like that of Otomo Yoshinao, it is a story made up afterward to explain the validity of ruling domains.

However, Shimazu did not have the forces necessary to defeat Otomo, so he began recruiting heavily in all his territories, saying that all who could carry a weapon must join his army.
Shimazu realized that if he attacked the Otomo in the open there was a small chance for victory, so he devised a plan to reduce their strength in order to gain the advantage in numbers.
Shimazu would cut that route using troops in ambush, confusing the enemy, and then launch a full-scale attack.

 Film Fest Journal: Yasujiro Shimazu Archives
A well-crafted riff on Yasujiro Shimazu's familiar shomin-geki films, this time transplanted to a group of Western opera stage actors working in the bustling theater and entertainment district of Asakusa in old downtown Tokyo, The Lights of Asakusa is a charming and elegantly realized ensemble slice-of-life serio-comedy.
Eschewing plot in favor of richly textured characters, the film is a thoughtful and affectionate portrait of camaraderie, pragmatism, and human decency.
Shimazu's elegant command of narrative and camera is bolstered by the equally strong, natural performances of the actors (most notably, the great character actress, Chouko Iida), resulting in a remarkably fluid and delightfully satisfying slice-of-life portrait of prewar Japan.

 Periodical Background : Shimazu's Ryukyu Invasion
In 1600 Shimazu was defeated at the Battle of Sekigahara and fell into economic crisis, and the Satsuma fief sought to indirectly rule the Ryukyus as a way out of destitution when the Ming empire forbade trade between itself and Japan after the "Bunroku" and "Keicho no Eki" incidents.
Shimazu used Ryukyu discourtesy in the assistance of drifting fishermen as an excuse to finally superscribe the Ryukyu conquest to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
It sent a total of more than 3,000 soldiers and conquers the Ryukyued, breaking the good neighborly relations and places the Ryukyus under Satsuma control in 1609.
