Maeda Gen'i
Maeda Gen'i was a Buddhist priest from Mt. Hiei, and later one of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Go-Bugyō. He entered the service of Oda Nobunaga sometime before 1570.
Gen'i was appointed to be a deputy over Kyoto in 1582. After the death of Oda Nobunaga that same year, Gen'i went on to serve under Toyotomi Hideyoshi. At Takamai Domain in Tanba Province, Gen'i received a 50,000-koku fief. Ten years later, he was to lay the ground work for the Fushimi Castle. In 1595, Gen'i was named among the "Five Commissioners" by Hideyoshi. As a member of this council, Gen'i was "concerned with national affairs and subordinate only to Hideyoshi". In addition to managing a great deal of other affairs, Maeda also oversaw the reception of the likes of the Emperor and representatives of the Jesuits to Hideyoshi's Jurakudai palace.
