Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536-1598) was a daimyo, warrior, general, samurai, and politician of the Sengoku period and is regarded as Japan's second "great unifier." He succeeded his former lord, Oda Nobunaga and brought an end to the Warring States Period. The period of his rule is often called the Momoyama period, named after Hideyoshi's castle. After his death, his young son Hideyoshi was displaced by Tokugawa Ieyasu. Like Nobunaga before him, Hideyoshi never achieved the title of shogun. Instead, he arranged to have himself adopted into the Fujiwara clan, and secured a succession of high court titles including, in 1585, the prestigious position of Imperial Regent.
