Todo clan

A feudal lord family in the Edo period. Tozama (outsider), Ohiroma (chief of the great hall). Born in Todo Village, Inukami County, Omi Province (Kora Town, Shiga Prefecture). Served the Rokkaku and Kyogoku clans. During the time of the clan's founder, Takatora, they distinguished themselves by serving the Asai, Oda, Toyotomi, and Tokugawa clans. After serving in Kokawa, Kii Province, Uwajima, Kokufu, and Imabari, Iyo Province, in 1608 (Keicho 13), they were given the province of Iga and two counties of Ise, and settled in Anotsu (Tsu City, Mie Prefecture). In 1617 (Genwa 3), they received additional land in Yamashiro and Yamato provinces, becoming a feudal lord with a fief of over 323,900 koku (Tsu Domain). Later, in 1669 (Kanbun 9), the third lord, Takahisa, awarded his younger brother Takamichi 50,000 koku of land and established a branch domain in Hisai (Tsu City, Mie Prefecture). Both the main domain and the branch domain continued to exist until the Meiji Restoration. In addition to Anotsu, the main domain built a castle town in Iga Ueno and appointed a castle lord.
