1. outline
Daimyo of the early Edo shogunate . The third son of Tokugawa Hidetada , the second shogun of the Edo Shogunate, and the younger brother of the third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu . His childhood name was Kunimatsu (国松). He had excellent qualifications and his older brother, Takechiyo (竹千代; Tokugawa Iemitsu), stuttered and had a sickly constitution, so he grew up receiving the love of his parents.
In particular, it is said that his mother, Sugenin, openly favored him. Just as Hidetada, who continued the family line, was the third son,[1] There was a power struggle between the Takechiyojiji faction and the Kunimatsujiji faction over the idea that he could succeed even though he was not his first son, but Iemitsu's nanny, Kasuga no Tsubone, raised the issue directly with Ieyasu, who was Ogosho at the time . Takechiyo, the eldest son, became the successor.
Grandfather Ieyasu sometimes made statements such as Iemitsu first and Tadanaga second even at official occasions, drawing a line so that the issue of succession would not arise at all. followed

2. career
In 1616 (or 1618 ), Kofu (甲府; current Yamanashi Prefecture ) received a fiefdom of 238,000 koku, and later added the fiefdom of Komoro in Shinano, but he himself never went to Kofu, and He was entrusted with the office.
In 1620 , he became an official with his older brother and was named Tadanaga (忠長).[2] In 1623 , upon his brother's inauguration as shogun, he was appointed Junagon (equivalent to 3rd rank), and the following year, Suruga and part of Dotomi River (Kakegawa) were added to his territory, totaling 550,000 koku. He came to own a huge territory (however, Gomoro's territory was returned at this time). In 1627 , he was promoted to Dainagon (大納言: equivalent to 3rd rank) and participated in the travels of Gomizunō Tenno .
In 1631 , he was ordered into seclusion by Gofu on the charge of beheading one (or several) of his retainers without cause , and the following year, he was not permitted an audience with his father, Hidetada, when he was critically ill. Afterwards, he was made kaieki and had his entire territory confiscated for the crime of spreading rumors of his will, and was imprisoned in Takasaki, Kozuke. He committed suicide by committing seppuku the following year. He died at the age of 28.[3]
The ostensible reason for the confiscation of the territory was due to behavioral issues due to the Suruga Castle Jinken match, but this was an additional problem, and the official charge actually applied was violation of the martial law established by Ieyasu, which is presumed to have strengthened the authority of the shogunate . Tadanaga Edo and Sunpu (Tadanaga's residence)[4] He had such an arrogant attitude that it was said that there were two shoguns, and while Suruga was the Dainagon, he violated the orders of the shogunate and held a sword fighting match, which numbered over 20 people .[5] It can be seen that this was done in light of the precedents of Tadateru Matsudaira (Hidetada's half-brother) and Tadanao Matsudaira ( son of Hideyasu Yuki . Hidetada's nephew and son-in-law), whose fiefdoms were confiscated for the same reason. It would be reasonable. In addition, Tokugawa Iemitsu implemented many policies that increased the authority of the shogun and shogunate , such as alternating attendance . In fact, in the early days of the Edo shogunate's reign, it ordered kaieki for all sorts of trivial things, such as posthumous adoption .
However, the story of indiscriminately killing the people in the territory or making the retainers fight with swords is highly likely to have been added later, so caution should be exercised.

3. Appearance in the mass media
3.1. Sigurui
The lord of Sunpu Castle, the one who held a match with the Suruga Dinagon.[6] Because he is a high-ranking person who is the younger brother of the shogun, he is a lord who has experienced all kinds of prenatal battles (?), and his tastes are quite bizarre, so he enjoys seeing blood. enjoyed without And, using his current position, he treats all humans as toys, especially young women. When Tadanaga mentions the name of a woman, she is always called to the bed. The beating is a good thing, and you can see her being strangled or tied up for no reason and then killed. It is notorious for not coming out. Still, if she has sexual desire, he whips Chika Funaki 's back and sees the flowing blood, so he makes her junior . This is the best treatment
Originally, this one was more outstanding in appearance and ability than his older brother. His swordsmanship is also excellent , surpassing the level of his Ito-ryu swordsmanship master, and to the extent that he cut down a retainer who tried to kill him. However, as he experiences the favoritism of his mother, Oeyo, and the daimyo and vassals who started to line him up from a young age, his pride and tyranny towards his subordinates dwells in his heart. In the end, when Ieyasu's elder brother became the shogun in accordance with Ieyasu's order not to break the will, his madness became extremely aggravated by frustration.
In the author's commentary that the complete form of feudal society consists of a small number of sadists and a large number of masochists, he is a person who symbolizes the minority sadists . His royal match also has a political purpose to satisfy his bloodlust and to summon daimyo who sympathize with his ambition to confirm their loyalty. However, Tadanaga's intentions had already been identified by the Edo shoguns, including Yagyu Munenori, and most of the daimyo, including Date Masamune.

3.2. Inbeopbook series
It is mentioned all the time, but the only one that appears directly is the Gaidenki Ouka Jinho, which was not written by Futaro Yamada himself. In Demon World Tensei, Kishu Dainagon went to Tokyo on his own and stayed at the Yagyu Domain after hearing a telegram saying, "The Shogun is in critical condition in Edo." He subtly threatens Tokugawa Yorinobu to turn away, citing Tadanaga's example.
[1] However, this does not mean that there was no tradition of funeral wills in Japan at the time. When Oda Nobunaga died in a rebellion along with his eldest son, who was his actual successor, the justification for Hashiba Hideyoshi's eldest grandson as successor, leaving behind Oda Nobunaga's numerous sons, was a funeral will . The excuse is that if the first son dies, the first grandson should succeed, based on the claim that the first descendant is unconditionally first. In reality, the grandson was just over one year old and a nursing baby who could not speak or walk, so he was not suitable as a successor. However, he was put forward as an excuse to be the eldest grandson, but they just wanted to use him as a scarecrow. As a result, the second and third sons (the fourth son was Hideyoshi's adoptive son. Nobunaga gave it to Hideyoshi while he was alive, feeling sorry that he had no living sons) were dissatisfied, and later attacked Hideyoshi, but were defeated.[2] Tada (忠) is derived from Tada from his father Hidetada, and Naga (長) is derived from Naga from Oda Nobunaga. Anyway, the same goes for my father, Hidetada's Hide is named after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Hide.[3] There is also a saying that he could not have died because Gou's older sister, Jokoin, was aware of it... In addition, it is said that Iemitsu was in shock after hearing the news and lay in bed for a while.[4] It is also the castle where Ieyasu stayed as Ogosho after leaving the shogun .[5] This is the part where he was caught in the martial arts system. The great daimyo, whose size ranged from 200,000 koku to 1,000,000 koku, were not allowed to have more than 20 warriors with them when they moved around except for regular shifts, but in 1629, when a royal battle was held at Suruga Castle, 18 warriors with true swords and about 100 warriors with iron swords were allowed to do so at will. Since it was a move that clearly rebelled against the authority of the shogunate and the shogun, it was something that could never be tolerated by the high officials of Edo.[6] For the original setting, please refer to the Suruga Castle Imperial Battle section.
