In his last years he became senile and it is said he had incontinence in front of people (in NHK saga drama such as "Dokuganryu Masamune" and "Komyo ga Tsuji" (Crossroads of the Achievement), there were scenes that old Hideyoshi had incontinence).
晩年は老耄だったようで、人前で小便を漏らすこともあったとされる(大河ドラマ・独眼竜政宗(NHK大河ドラマ)および功名が辻(NHK大河ドラマ)では晩年の秀吉が失禁するシーンが描かれた。)。
