Prince Hachijō Toshihito (error: {{nihongo}}: Japanese or romaji text required (help)) was a court noble of Japan during the Sengoku Period. Toshihito was the younger brother of Emperor Go-Yōzei. After 1588 Toyotomi Hideyoshi adopted Toshihito in an effort to greatly strengthen the Toyotomi and the Imperial ties. In 1590, Hideyoshi gave Toshihito 3,000 koku worth of land and was slated to act as Hideyoshi's governor of Japan during China's hope for submission of the Korean Invasions of 1592-1593.
