*''Japanese'': [[豊臣]] 鶴松 ''(Toyotomi Tsurumatsu)''

Toyotomi Tsurumatsu was a son of [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and [[Yodo-gimi]] (Chacha), who was supposed to be Hideyoshi's heir but died when still quite young, at the age of three.

When Yodo-gimi was pregnant with Tsurumatsu, Hideyoshi built a castle in celebration, or in anticipation of the expansion of the family, at [[Yodo castle|Yodo]]. He tore down this castle, however, after Tsurumatsu's death three years later.<ref>Kusaba Kayoko 草葉加代子, ''Kyôkaidô to Yodogawa shûun'' 京街道と淀川舟運.

Hidetsugu himself passed away in [[1595]], thus leaving Hideyoshi's younger son, [[Toyotomi Hideyori]], the one who would finally actually go on to become head of the [[Toyotomi clan]] after Hideyoshi's death.
