Tokugawa Ietsuna was the fourth [[shogun]] of the [[Tokugawa shogunate]], ruling from [[1651]]/8/18 until his death on [[1680]]/5/8. He was the eldest son of third shogun [[Tokugawa Iemitsu]].
Ietsuna became shogun in 1651, at age 11, following his father's death; he was advised by his uncle [[Hoshina Masayuki]] until he came of age eight years later, in [[1659]]. In [[1679]], the year before his death, Ietsuna appointed [[Hotta Masatoshi]] ''[[Tairo|Tairô]]'' (chief of the ''[[roju|rôjû]]''; chief shogunal advisor).
His concubines included [[Ofuri-no-kata (1649-1667)|Ofuri-no-kata]]; Ietsuna died with no heir, however, and was succeeded by his younger brother [[Tokugawa Tsunayoshi]]. He was buried at [[Kan'ei-ji]], but his tomb, along with that of Tsunayoshi, were destroyed by Allied bombing in 1945.
