- Japanese: 稲葉 正則 (Inaba Masanori)
Inaba Masanori was a lord of Odawara han who served in a number of high-ranking positions in the Tokugawa shogunate, including as Tairô under Shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna.
Masanori was a grandson of Kasuga no Tsubone, wet-nurse to Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu.
At the time of the succession from Tokugawa Ietsuna to Tokugawa Tsunayoshi in 1680, Masanori was serving as Taisei san'yo. He resigned this position in the 12th month of the following year, just as his son Inaba Masamichi was taking up a post as Kyoto shoshidai in Kyoto. Two years later, in 1683/int.5, Masanori stepped down as daimyô of Odawara and went into retirement, allowing Masamichi to succeed him as head of the family and lord of the domain.
