Hijikata Katsunaga
Hijikata Katsunaga (土方 雄永, April 22, 1851 – May 10, 1884) was a Japanese daimyō of the late Edo period, who ruled the Komono Domain of Ise Province (modern-day Mie Prefecture). He succeeded to the family headship at age seven; consequently, his father assisted with the administration of the domain. In the Boshin War, his domain was evenly divided between pro-shogunate and sonnō elements; despite this division, Komono, under Katsunaga's rule, joined and assisted the imperial army on its march eastward.
