*''Japanese'': [[松平]]直政 ''(Matsudaira Naomasa)''
Matsudaira Naomasa was the progenitor of the [[Matsudaira clan (Echizen)|Matsudaira clan of Echizen]], and the first Matsudaira lord of [[Matsue han]].
He was the third son of [[Yuki Hideyasu|Yûki Hideyasu]], the second son of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]]. Naomasa's elder brothers were [[Matsudaira Tadamasa]]<!--忠昌--> and [[Matsudaira Tadanao]]<!--忠直-->.
He was lord of [[Matsumoto han]] in [[Shinano province]] until [[1638]], when he was transferred to Matsue han, with a ''[[kokudaka]]'' of 186,000 ''[[koku]]'', after the previous lord of Matsue, [[Kyogoku Tadataka|Kyôgoku Tadataka]], died without an heir.
Naomasa was succeeded in turn, as lord of Matsue, by his son [[Matsudaira Tsunataka]]; their descendants would continue to rule Matsue until the [[1871]] [[abolition of the han]].
