Honda Tadakatsu

Honda Tadakatsu (????, 1548 – December 31610), also called Honda Heihachir? (?????), was a general in the service of Tokugawa Ieyasu. A native of Mikawa Province in Japan, he lived during the Azuchi-Momoyama and Edo periods. Ieyasu promoted him from daimyo of the ?taki han (100 000 koku) to the Kuwana han (150 000 koku) as a reward for his service. In addition, his son Tadatomo became daimyo of ?taki. In 1609, he retired, and his son Tadamasa took over Kuwana. His other son, Tadatoki married the granddaughter of Ieyasu Tokugawa, Senhime. Tadakatsu became increasingly estranged from the bakufu as it evolved from a military to a civilian political institution.
