Ōkubo Tadazane (大久保忠真?) (1778-April 23, 1837) was a Japanese daimyo of the late Edo period, who ruled the Odawara Domain. He held several important positions in the Tokugawa shogunate.
[edit] Biography
Tadazane was born in Edo in 1778. He succeeded to headship of the Ōkubo family and Odawara domain in 1796. During his tenure as lord of Odawara, he reformed the domain's faltering finances, particularly through his employment of the scholar Ninomiya Sontoku. Within a few years, Tadazane had his start in the Tokugawa administration as a soshaban, or master of ceremonies. Four years later, he was appointed to the concurrent position of jisha-bugyō (Magistrate of Temples and Shrines). After five years as Osaka Castle warden, he became Kyoto Shoshidai. As was usually the case with holders of the latter office, Tadazane became a rōjū upon the completion of his duties (having been recommended by Matsudaira Sadanobu). He died 19 years later, while still holding the office of rōjū, in 1837.
