Yodogimi, mother of Toyotomi Hideyori, was born Chacha, the daughter of feudal lord Azai Nagamasa in Omi province (present—day Shiga prefecture). Her uncle and one—time ally, Oda Nobunaga, defeated the Azai clan, and her grandfather and father eventually met the same fate as their castles, which burned to the ground. Soon thereafter, she moved to Echizen province (Fukui prefecture) after her mother Oichi (Nobunaga's younger sister) married Shibata Katsuie. Tragedy struck her family a second time, however, when Katsuie was forced to take his own life in a battle against Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Once again, Yodogimi lost her home, as well as her mother and father. She eventually married Hideyoshi and gave birth to Hideyori, and enjoyed a life of luxury as "Yodo no kata," but the various hardships she had experienced weighed heavily on her. The darkness that stirred in her heart spread greatly after the Battle of Sekigahara and the death of Hideyoshi, and she quickly became obsessed with doing everything in her power to aid the struggling Toyotomi clan.
