Tokugawa Yorinobu.

Tokugawa Yorinobu (徳川 頼宣, April 28, 1602 – February 19, 1671) was a Japanese

daimyō
of the early Edo period.

Kageyama-dono, mother of Yorinobu and Yorifusa.

Born under the name Nagatomimaru (長福丸), he was the 10th son of

Wakayama Domain on August 27, 1619, following the transfer of the previous rulers, the Asano clan, to Hiroshima, in Aki Province. Yorinobu thus became the founder of the Kii branch of the Tokugawa family. Yorinobu's wife, Yorin-in (1601-1666) was the daughter of Katō Kiyomasa. By the end of his life, Yorinobu had achieved junior 2nd court rank (ju-ni-i), as well as holding the title of dainagon
("major counselor").

Yorinobu had four children: his successor Tokugawa Mitsusada, Yorizumi, the founder of the Iyo-Saijo Domain, Inaba-hime, who married Ikeda Mitsunaka of the Tottori Domain, and Matsuhime, who married Matsudaira Nobuhira of the Yoshii Domain. Following his death, he was referred to by the title Nanryū-in.

In 1915, Yorinobu was posthumously promoted to senior 2nd court rank (shō-ni-i).
