Honda Masazumi

Honda Masazumi

nihongo|Honda Masazumi|本多正純 (1566-April 5, 1637) was a Japanese samurai of the Azuchi-Momoyama Period through early Edo period, who served the Tokugawa clan. He later became a daimyo, and one of the first rōjū of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Masazumi was born in 1565; he was the eldest son of Honda Masanobu. Father and son served Tokugawa Ieyasu together. Masazumi was in the main force at Sekigahara; after the battle, Masazumi was entrusted with the guardianship of the defeated Ishida Mitsunari. Masazumi was made a daimyo in 1608, with an income of 33,000 koku.

Later, Masazumi served at the Siege of Osaka; in 1616, he became a "toshiyori"; this was the position that would soon after be renamed as "rōjū". In this role, he worked closely with the now-retired second shogun, Hidetada. During this period, his income was increased to 53,000 koku; then to 155,000 in 1619. However, in 1622 he fell into disfavor with Hidetada, and was exiled to Yokote, in the Kubota Domain. Masazumi died in Yokote in 1637, at age 73.
