"BROTHERS IN ARMS （Toyotomi Brothers!）" is the 65th Taiga drama. With Toyotomi Hidenaga (Koichiro) as the protagonist, it depicts the miraculous feat of unifying Japan together with his older brother Hideyoshi (Tokichiro) through their strong bond, a success story of dreams and hopes.
The script is written by Hiroyuki Yatsu, known for his work on "Hanzawa Naoki" (TBS) and the Asadora drama series "Ochoyan." The music is composed by Hideaki Kimura, and the narration is provided by actress Sakura Ando.
In episode 20, Nobunaga (Shun Oguri) is furious with Hideyoshi (Sosuke Ikematsu) for abandoning the campaign against the Uesugi clan and returning home without permission. He orders Hideyoshi to be placed under house arrest and sentenced to death.
While the entire Hashiba family was frantically pleading for clemency, news arrived that Matsunaga Hisahide had betrayed them again. Having narrowly escaped death, Hideyoshi and Koichiro (played by Nakano) went to negotiate with Hisahide and conveyed Nobunaga's intention that if he handed over the unique tea utensil, Hiragumo, the rebellion would be overlooked.
But despite the exceptionally generous terms, Hisahide inexplicably refuses to accept them...
