Talk:Shimazu Yoshihiro

Video Game section error
This section is wrong. I have the game Kessen by Koei and Shimazu Yoshihiro is present in that game as well. That game was published in 2000, well before the other games listed. I'm going to add Kessen to this section and remove any mention about first or second times this figure was included in video games. There may have been games on older systems that had this person in them.147.155.182.23 23:35, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Yi Soon Shin was killed by the army of Shimazu.
Because important information was not recorded at all, it added it. (60.39.49.223 (talk) 07:08, 27 July 2009 (UTC)).

Yi Sun-Shin was killed by a chance enemy shot, not by Shimazu Yoshihiro himself. I will give the following book references with quotes. The very context of the battle should be noted that Yi-Sun-shin was pursuing fleeing enemy ships.

reference (1.) "Attacking the retreating Japanese troops to the very end, Admiral Yi sun-sin was felled by a chance enemy shot in the sea off Noryang point." Lee, Ki-baik. A New History of Korea. Trans. Edward W. Wagner. Harvard University Press:1984 p. 214 ISBN-10: 067461576X

reference( 2.) "But as he was harassing the retreating Japanese forces, Admiral Yi Sun-sin's heroic career was ended by a chance enemy shot"    Eckert, Carter J., Lee, Ki-baik., Lew, Young Ick., Robinson, Michael., Wagner, Edward W. Korea Old and New: A History. Seoul:1990 p.148   ISBN-10: 0962771309

reference (3.) " With the battle going against them, the Japanese began fighting a rearguard action south along the coast of Namhae Island and toward the open sea. Yi Sun-sin remained in close pursuit, determined not to let a single "enemy seed" escape.  He stood at the bow of his ship, shouting encouragement to his men and beating on the war drum to urge on the other vessels in the fleet.  At his side stood his eldest son, Yi Hae, and his nephew, Yi Wan, son of an elder brother who had died many years before.  Suddenly the Korean commander clutched his chest and slumped to the deck.  A stray bullet had struck him high on the left side, near the armpit, entering his chest and possibly piercing his heart.  It was at least the third time Yi had been wounded during his twenty-two years of military service.  This time the wound was fatal. Knowing that the sight of their fallen leader would adversely affect the morale of his men, Yi gasped out to Hae and Wan, " Don't let the men know..." And then he died. Hawley, Samuel.The Imjin War: Japan's Sixteenth-Century Invasion of Korea and Attempt to Conquer China. Berkeley:2005 pp. 554-555 ISBN-10: 8995442425

reference (4.) "Admiral Yi was in the thick of the fighting and personally wielded a bow when he rowed to the aid of Chen Lin, whose flagship came under attack from a group of Japanese ships.  By the time the dawn was breaking the Japanese ships were retreating and, sensing that this could b the last time for them to come to grips, Yi ordered a vigorous pursuit.  It was at that moment, when victory was certain, that a Japanese arquebusier put a bullet into Yi's left armpit.  He was dead within minutes.  Only three close associates saw the incident, and with his dying breath Yi asked them to keep his death a secret, so his body was covered with a shield and the battle of Noryang continued towards its victorious conclusion."

Shrine to Cats
Should we add this? https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/digital-nomad/2011/09/12/the-cats-of-kagoshima/

Apparently he used cats as clocks during the Korean campaign, and later enshrined them in a small shrine that's still worshipped today. May not be very important, but it's INTERESTING and his page is (relatively speaking) pretty short for an important samurai. Tabbycatlove (talk) 18:39, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Noryang (2023) movie
Shimazu Yoshihiro was played by actor Baek Yoon-sik in the 2023 South Korean historical war action movie "Noryang: Deadly Sea".

Should that be included in the "In popular culture" section? --71.247.10.205 (talk) 20:53, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
