Mr. Inaba

A feudal lord in the Edo period. His ancestors belonged to the Toki clan of Mino Province for generations, and after the fall of the Toki clan, they changed lords to the Saito and Oda clans. During the time of Yoshimichi (Inaba Ittetsu), he served Toyotomi Hideyoshi and became the lord of Gujo Hachiman Castle in Mino.

(1) Sadamichi, the son of Yoshimichi, belonged to the Eastern Army in the Battle of Sekigahara, and after the war moved to Usuki in Bungo Province (with a fief of 40,000 koku), where he ruled for 15 generations (Usuki Domain).

(2) Masanari, the son of Sadamichi's half-brother Shigemichi, was awarded 10,000 koku in Mino in 1607 (Keicho 12) for his achievements in the Battle of Sekigahara, and his son Inaba Masakatsu served as a senior councilor and in 1632 (Kan'ei 9) was awarded 85,000 koku in Odawara, Sagami Province. In 1723 (Kyoho 8) during the reign of Masatomo, the domain was awarded 102,000 koku in Yodo, Yamashiro Province, and the domain was continued for generations (Yodo Domain). The last lord of the domain, Inaba Masakuni, became a senior councilor.

(3) Inaba Masakazu, the third son of Inaba Masakatsu's legitimate son Masanori, was granted 3,000 koku of rice in 1683 (Tenwa 3) and became a member of the Shogunate's Yoriai (meetings). In 1781 (Tenmei 1), during the reign of Masaaki, he was given 10,000 koku of rice in Tateyama, Awa Province, a domain that continued for five generations (Tateyama Domain).
