Kimura Shigekore (木村 重茲, died August 20, 1595) was a Japanese samurai of the Azuchi-Momoyama period, who served the Toyotomi clan. He had been rewarded for his service in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Korean campaign but then was implicated in a plot against Hideyoshi by Toyotomi Hidetsugu and forced to commit seppuku.[1] His son, Kimura Shigenari, was a commander under Hideyoshi and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.[1]
