Served under Ieyasu, who in 1590 gave him the castle of Minowa (Kozuke --
12,000 koku). Thence he went to Takasaki in 1589. At the battle of Sekigahara
(1600), he defeated Shimazu Yoshihiro. Ieyasu then appointed him to Sawayama
(Omi -- 180,000 koku).

2nd son of Naomasa. In 1605 attached himself to the new Shogun
Hidetada, who game him in 1610 a revenue of 10,000 koku in Kozuke and the title
of Kamon no kami. At the time of the siege of Osaka in 1615, his elder brother
Naokatsu, having refused to take part in the expedition, Hidetada ordered
Naotaka to replace him and, at the conclusion of the war, gave him the domains
of his brother. Naotaka finished the castle of Hikone, which had been begun by
Naokatsu in 1603, and made it his residence in 1623. His revenues were raised
to 290,000 koku, then to 340,000 koku (1633).
His descendants inherited the title of Kamon no kami, as well as the
domains of Hikone.

14th son of Naonaka. With the exception of his eldest brother, who
was to succeed his father, all the others had been adopted by daimyo families.
He alone lived on a small pension taken from the revenues of Hikone. In 1845,
his eldest brother died childless and Naosuke unexpectedly became Kamon no
kami and lord of Hikone. In 1858, he became prime minister (tairo) of the
Shogun Iesada. The latter having died the same year without heir, the prince
of Mito, Nariaki, desired to have his son Hitotsubashi Keiki nominated, but
Naosuke opposed the nomination, and succeeded in having the 12-year-old
Iemochi, prince of Kii, elected. He had just signed a treaty with the United
States in July 29, 1958. Soon after, on August 26, he signed another with England
and, on October 9, with France. These treaties raised a strong opposition party
throughout the country and the Court in Kyoto, in particular, demanded the
expulsion of the barbarians (jo-i). Naosuke put 40 or 50 of the malcontents into
prison at Edo, then he sent the Roju Manabe Norikatsu to Kyoto who imprisoned
57 kuge, samurai, etc., confined Nariaki to his house in Edo, and obliged the
princes of Owari and Echizen to resign the administration of their affairs to
their sons. This series of energetic measures is known by the name of
"great execution of the Ansei era" (Ansei no taigoku). The opening
of the Kanagawa port in January 1859, then sending of an embassy to the United
States, the treaty with Portugal, all served to exasperate the party hostile
to foreigners, and, on the 24th of March, 1860, as Naosuke was going to the
palace of the Shogun, he was assassinated by 17 ronin of the Mito clan (Arimura
Jizaemon Kanekiyo, Oseki Washichiro, Sano Takenosuke Mitsuakira, Kurozawa
Chuzo, etc.). His death was officially announced only on the 20th of May and,
on the 30th of the same month, he was buried in the temple of Gotaku-ji, near
Edo. The following year, his son Naonori, who had succeeded him, had his
revenues reduced to 240,000 koku.
