Gōhime was also known as Toyotomi Hideyoshi's adopted daughter and held various titles such as Hashiba no Tsubone, Bizen no Kata, and Kyō.

Gōhime was born in 1574 as the fourth daughter of Maeda Toshiie, a retainer of the Oda clan, in Arao, Owari Province (present-day Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture).

Gōhime and Hideie had children, including Hideitaka, Hideetsugu, and Yuki no Kata, who first married Yamazaki Nagatomo and later Tomita Nobutaka.

Prior to the Battle of Sekigahara, Ishida Mitsunari planned to capture Gohime's sister's mother-in-law Hosokawa Gracia as a hostage.

Gracia's death caused much chaos, and damaged Ishida Mitsunari's reputation, which ultimately led to his defeat at the Battle of Sekigahara.

At that time, she was accompanied by her attendants, Nakamura Keibe and Isshiki Shusen, and received a stipend of 1,500 koku as a form of compensation.

She sought refuge with the Maeda clan and was able to correspond and send gifts (rice, sake, clothing) to her husband and sons from there.

To address this, her adoptive father Hideyoshi ordered a fox hunt, which included a performance of Naihōsō no Mikagura.

[8] Gōhime's life was marked by her unique position as a political pawn, a devoted wife and mother, and her enduring faith in Christianity during a tumultuous period in Japan's history.
