is a Japanese historical drama television series starring Taiga Nakano as Toyotomi Hidenaga. The series is the 65th NHK taiga drama.

Plot Born into a poor farming family, Koichiro (later Toyotomi Hidenaga) spent peaceful days tilling the fields with his family. However, one day, his long-missing elder brother, Tokichiro (later Toyotomi Hideyoshi), returned. Tokichiro had become a samurai serving Oda Nobunaga and asked Koichiro to work as his assistant. Koichiro hesitated briefly, but ultimately accepted. This is where the grand success story of the two brothers, bound by a strong bond, truly begins.
