Katakura Shigenaga
Katakura Shigenaga (片倉 重長, 1585 – May 16, 1659) was a Japanese samurai of the Azuchi-Momoyama period through early Edo period. The son of Katakura Kagetsuna, Shigenaga was the second man to bear the common name Kojūrō.[1] His name was originally Shigetsuna; however, to avoid conflict with the fourth shogun Ietsuna's name, he changed it to Shigenaga.[1] In 1614, he took part in the Osaka Campaign, fighting Gotō Matabei at Dōmyōji Temple.[2]
Shigenaga's second wife was the daughter of Sanada Yukimura, and following the Osaka Campaign, Shigenaga assisted many of the masterless former Sanada retainers.
He was succeeded by his son Kagenaga.
