Tokugawa Yorifusa

Tokugawa Yorifusa, also known as Mito Yorifusa, was a Japanese daimyō of the early Edo period.

Biography

Known in his childhood as Tsuruchiyomaru, he was the eleventh son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first Tokugawa shogun with his concubine, Kageyama-dono later adopted as Okaji no Kata's son after his younger sister, Ichihime died. Yorifusa was first enfeoffed in the Shimotsuma domain from 1606 to 1609, before being transferred to Mito in 1610, thereby founding the Mito branch of the Tokugawa house. A holder of the junior 3rd court rank, Yorifusa held the title of chūnagon, both of which he received in 1627.
