Kakegawa Domain

Following the defeat of the Imagawa at the hands of Oda Nobunaga at the Battle of Okehazama, Kakegawa, along with the rest of Tōtōmi Province came under the control of Takeda Shingen.

After the Battle of Sekigahara, Tokugawa Ieyasu regained control over the Tōkai region, and Yamauchi Kazutoyo surrendered Kakegawa in exchange for Tosa Province in Shikoku.

Andō Naotsugu was daimyō with revenues increased to 28,000 koku from 1617 to 1619, when he was reassigned to Tanabe Domain as advisor to Tokugawa Yorinobu.

In February the following year, Ii Naoyoshi was brought in from Nishio Domain in neighboring Mikawa Province, and governed Kakegawa until his death in 1672.

The Ōta provided the next seven daimyōs of Kakegawa until the Meiji Restoration, and thus brought about a period of much-needed stability and continuity to government policies.

[2] In February 1869, 7th (and final) daimyō, Ōta Sukeyoshi were transferred by the new Meiji government to the short-lived Matsuo Domain in Kazusa Province.
