[edit] Inangodonus?

In John Hay's De Rebus Iaponicis, Indicis, et Peruanis Epistolae Recentiores, written 1605, I find the following quote:

...Quabacondonus decreuit nepotem suum Inangondonum declarare successorem & totius Iaponiæ Dominum, vt vices suas tempore belli obiret. Mandauit itaque vt Dairi in dictũ Nepotẽ dignitatẽ trãsferret Quabacõdoni, assumpto nomine Taicusama, id est, Magni Domini. In eum autem modũ hæc translatio peracta est, vt etiam si nepoti suo cum nomine redditus maximos attribuerit, ipse tamen is manserit, qui prius fuerat. (pp. 172-3)

"...The Kampaku decreed that his nephew Inangodonus should be declared his successor, and the overlord of all Japan, that he might take his place during time of war. So he commanded that the Dairi (Emperor) should transfer the title of Kampaku to the designated nephew, having himself taken up the name of 'Taiko-sama', that is 'Great Lord.' But this transferal was accomplished in such a way that even if he granted his nephew the highest title, he himself remained who he was before."

So Inangodonus clearly must be Hidetsugu. Among Hidetsugu's titulary and alternate appellations, was there a name or title something like Inago-dono?
