His cleverness especially in accounting and logistic matters had greatly contributed to the unification of Japan by Hideyoshi because he had to manage bigger and bigger army with the time. As 5 bugyos (commissioners), he measured precisely the surface of rice fields all over Japan. After the death of Hideyoshi, he entered a conflict with Tokugawa Ieyasu.
