Mōri Hidekane/Kobayakawa Hidekane (毛利秀包/小早川秀包, 1567 – April 24, 1601) was a Japanese samurai, the ninth son of Mōri Motonari. His mother was Motonari's concubine, Nomi no Ōkata (乃美の方).
Originally he was named Mototsuna and given to
Ōtomo Sōrin's daughter Maxentia (Katsurahime) and converted to Catholic Christianity
with the baptized name Simao Findenao (シマオ・フィンデナオ).
After the Sekigahara Campaign, Hidekane changed his family name back to Mōri, to avoid shame caused by his stepbrother Kobayakawa Hideaki. He died young at 35 years old.
Hidekane was known of his gunnery skill, and
Toyotomi loyalists, Hidekane participated in Siege of Ōtsu
Castle.
