Minakuchi Domain

It was located in southeastern Ōmi Province, in the Kansai region of central Honshu.

The domain was centered at Minakuchi Castle, located in what is now the city of Kōka in Shiga Prefecture.

However, he committed seppuku after the defeat of the Western Army at the Battle of Sekigahara and his territory was seized as tenryō by the new Tokugawa shogunate.

His son, Kato Akihide, served as jisha-bugyō followed by wakadoshiyori with a raise in kokudaka to 50,000 koku and a transfer to Mibu Domain in Shimotsuke Province in 1695.

He was followed by Torii Tadateru who followed the same career path and was likewise transferred to Mibu Domain in 1712.
