Katō Mitsuyasu (加藤光泰, 1537-1593) was a retainer under the Toyotomi clan during the late Sengoku period of Feudal Japan. Residing within the province of Mino throughout the early period of his life, Mitsuyasu took up arms in support of the Saitō and its aspirations under the notorious Saito Dosan. By the time at which the young and justifiably incompetent Saito Tatsuoki succeeded to headship, Mitsuyasu defected to the opposing power of Oda Nobunaga in 1567 out of such circumstances, expanding under the latter's rulership for many years following. Rising to become a general of exceeded renown while under the service of Toyotomi Hideyoshi by the 1580's, Mitsuyasu was generously rewarded a 240,000 fief within Ōmi Province, encouraging him to serve under his lord throughout the 1st Korean campaign in 1592. Unfortunately however, following the end of Hideyoshi's first invasion into Korea in 1593--at which Mitsuyasu was in the process of returning to his homeland within Japan--he suddenly collapsed and died of unknown means -- conjectively that of a heart attack or an acquired disease.
