Some interesting facts about him.
Born 1560 - Died 1634
A samurai retainer of the Shimazu. Rank karō/senior advisor and senior deputy commander. He lived during the early Edo Period. He was born into the fifth generation of the Shimazu family line. He adopted the name Kabayama as his surname in the respect of the birch-covered mountaintop upon where his castle domain was built.
His most famous battles was invading the Ryukyu Islands which took place after the unification of Japan for Ieyasu Tokugawa. He was sent from the Kagoshima harbor with 100 ships carrying 3,000 soldiers on March 1609. He militarily chastisized the Ryukyu Islands for their percieved gestures of defiance. He was successful in the Invasion and faced little opposition. For a reward for his service he was granted the command to govern the Ryukyu Islands on Tadatsune's behalf.
Hisataka was also known by the named Gozai or Gonza.
