The Hamgyong campaign, also known as Katō Kiyomasa's northern campaign, was Kiyomasa's invasion of Hamgyeong Province, the northeastern region of Joseon (now Korea) during the Imjin War. The campaign was largely due to the assistance of Korean defectors, who also handed over to the Japanese their princes, Sunhwa and Imhae.
