Kato Kiyomasa is known as the father of Kumamoto though he was born in Aichi - after invading Korea didn’t kill him off as Hideyoshi had planned, Hideyoshi had Kato sent to far-off Higo, where he lived out his days, There’s a cool statue of him at the intersection fronting Miyukizaka. Take photos. - William https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kat%C5%8D_Kiyomasa
