Sô Yoshikatsu was the 29th head of the [[So clan|Sô clan]] and the 11th [[Edo period]] lord of [[Tsushima han]]. The fourth son of [[So Yoshinaga|Sô Yoshinaga]], he was known by the childhood name Isaburô until succeeding his father to become lord of the domain in [[1778]].

Due to certain matters of diplomatic relations with Korea keeping him busy, Yoshikatsu never traveled to [[Edo]] and never met with the [[Tokugawa shogunate|shogun]] before his death at the young age of 15, in [[1785]]. His death was not officially reported to the shogunate, and was kept secret, with his younger half-brother Tomiju taking on the name Yoshikatsu and replacing him as lord of the domain; though records from the time may have treated the two as the same person (and only one grave for Yoshikatsu stands in the [[So clan|Sô family]] cemetery at [[Banshoin|Banshô-in]] on [[Tsushima]]), they are today separately considered the 11th and 12th lords of the domain.
