Maeda Mitsutaka

Maeda Mitsutaka (前田 光高, January 9, 1616 April 30, 1645) was a Japanese daimyō of the Edo period, who ruled the Kaga Domain.

By way of his mother, he was Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu's nephew. As Iemitsu was heirless for some time, Mitsutaka was considered a potential heir; had this happened, he would have become the fourth Tokugawa shogun.
