The Tokugawa of [[Kii province]] were one of the ''[[Gosanke]]'', the three branch families of [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Tokugawa Ieyasu's]] own [[Tokugawa clan|lineage]], and the highest ranking samurai families below that Tokugawa main line. Based at the 550,000 ''[[koku]]'' [[han|domain]] of [[Wakayama han|Wakayama]] in Kii province, the Kishû Tokugawa were descended from Ieyasu's 10th son [[Tokugawa Yorinobu]]. The eighth shogun, [[Tokugawa Yoshimune]], and the 14th shogun [[Tokugawa Iemochi]], were both heads of the Kishû family and lords of Wakayama before becoming shogun.

The clan maintained [[Kishu Tokugawa Edo mansion|two mansions in Edo]]: one at Kôjimachi (in an area now known as Kioi-chô) and one at Akasaka. The former mansion served as the temporary imperial palace from [[1873]] to [[1889]], and later became the site of a mansion for [[Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa]] and then in 1930 for the former royal family of [[Joseon]]. The [[Akasaka Detached Palace]] was constructed on the site of the latter mansion.
