* ''Birth: [[1493]]?''
* ''Death: [[1589]]''
* ''Other name: Hôjô Gen'an''
* ''Distinction: [[Hojo clan|Hôjô]] retainer
Nagatsuna was the 3rd son of [[Hojo Soun|Hôjô Sôun]] and was a long-time pillar of the Hôjô house. He was schooled in [[Kyoto]] and became known for his cultural pursuits and penchant for study. In [[1569]] he lost his eldest son Shinzaburô Tsunashige and his second son [[Hojo Nagatoshi|Nagatoshi]] in battle with [[Takeda Shingen]]. To console him, [[Hojo Ujiyasu|Hôjô Ujiyasu]] briefly gave Nagatsuna (who is better known as Gen'an) his own 7th son, [[Hojo Ujihide|Ujihide]], to adopt. Nagatsuna acted as a clan councilor into the rule of [[Hojo Ujinao|Hôjô Ujinao]]. He was also noted for his skill at the hand drum and flute as well as bow and arrow and horsemanship - and for being possibly the longest-lived sengoku warrior. He was remembered as cutting a distinctive figure in later years by his wearing of black kimonos. Since Ujihide was chosen to be adopted into the Uesugi family, Nagatsuna was succeeded by his grandson [[Hojo Ujitaka|Ujitaka]]. He died on 12/8/1589.
Sons: Tsunashige (Shinzaburô;d.1569), Nagatoshi (d.1569)
