He was the 7th generation warlord of the Owari clan, who ruled 1730-1739.
He didn't like to be bound by strict laws and longed for freedom, unlike the previous warlords, who were very narrow-minded. He promoted theatrical plays and drama. As a result, famous actors and actresses began to flock to Nagoya, and the city began to bustle. However, his extravagant policy began to drain the clan's finances, angering the Tokugawa government, and he was soon dismissed from power. His spirit has lived on in the hearts of Nagoyaites, who have a keen sense toward entertainment, and which is the reason for Nagoya being called the "Culture City."
