Kinoshita Iesada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kinoshita Iesada (木下 家定, 1543 – October 4, 1608) was a samurai of the Sengoku through early Edo periods. He was the son of Sugihara Sadatoshi [ja]. Born Sugihara Magobei (杉原孫兵衛), he later took the new family name Kinoshita ("under the tree"), possibly to show his support for his brother-in-law, the general who would become known as Toyotomi Hideyoshi.[1]

At the time of the Battle of Sekigahara, Iesada was lord of Himeji han and held 25,000 koku of income.[2] However, due to his distinction in guarding his sister O-ne (Hideyoshi's wife), Tokugawa Ieyasu rewarded him, and he was enfeifed at Ashimori han in Bitchu Province following the battle.[3]
Iesada's children included Katsutoshi,[4] Toshifusa, Nobutoshi, Toshisada, and Hideaki. Toshifusa, his second son, succeeded him.
