Naitō Masayoshi (内藤政義, March 3, 1820 - November 18, 1888), was the 7th lord of the Nobeoka Domain in Hyuga Province. He belonged to the Naitō clan, which was the main branch of the Nobeoka Domain and had a lineage of 12 generations.

Biography

[edit]

The fifteenth son of the lord of Hikone Domain, Ii Naonaka. He was born on March 3, 1820, and his original name after coming of age in Hikone was Naoyasu. In July 1834, he accompanied his brother Naosuke (the third son of Naonaka) to Edo at his invitation. This was because Naoyasu had been nominated as a potential adoptive candidate for the heir of Naitō Masaaki, the lord of Nobeoka Domain, who had no heir. As a result, Naoyasu, who was chosen, entered into an adoptive relationship with Masayoshi and changed his name to Masayoshi. On the other hand, Naosuke returned to Hikone in August of the following year and became a long-term resident of a room. On October 13, 1834, following the death of his adoptive father Masaaki, he succeeded to the family headship. In December of the same year, he was appointed to the position of Noto-no-kami (Governor of Noto) with the rank of Jugoi (Junior Fifth Rank). In terms of domain administration, he engaged in various reforms such as relief measures for successive famines in 1841 and 1848, military and educational reforms, and new land development. In 1850, he renamed the domain school Gakuryo to "Kogyokan". On October 24, 1862, he retired and handed over the family headship to his adopted son Masataka. He died at the age of 69 on November 18, 1888.
