Like many of theShōguncharacters , Sugiyama is broadly based on a real diachronic figure , Maeda Toshiie .

Why Sugiyama Was Killed In Shōgun
Those who don’t support Ochiba and Ishido will be replaced
By decline to vote with the quietus of the council and express he did not approve of what was befall , Sugiyama put himself as an obstacle for Ochiba and Ishido . The council can not make any decisions unless all five member vote unanimously , which is why they had to find a replacement for Lord Toranaga in the first home . Without the support of Sugiyama , Toranaga ’s death could not be approve . Ishido reason that they should impeach Sugiyama and find yet another novel member for the council , which Ochiba defy because it would take too long .
Mariko reveals glimpses of her kinfolk ’s tragic backstory in Shōgun episodes 4 & 5 , which could have major implications for her by and by in the season .
alternatively , Ochiba commanded Ishido to solve the Sugiyama issue quickly . The Christian lord was ambushed by Ishido and his mankind while attempt to get out Osaka . The official variation is that Sugiyama was kill by brigand , but everyone in the country , including Toranaga , knows what happen . With Sugiyama dead , Ishido can get hold a new Regent who will agree to support Ochiba and will vote for Toranaga ’s destruction . The council is now but symbolic deliberate Ochiba and Ishido will get anything they want approved – those who do n’t defend them will be “ replaced . ”
