- Japanese: 島津吉貴 (Shimazu Yoshitaka)
Shimazu Yoshitaka was the fourth Edo period daimyô of Satsuma han.
He was named Chamberlain (jijû) in 1689 and Minor Captain in 1704, with the court rank of Lower Junior Fourth Rank. He was then elevated to the title of Middle Captain in 1710, and to the Upper Junior Fourth Rank, before being raised to the Lower Senior Fourth Rank in 1714, keeping his title of Middle Captain. This was the second highest rank any Shimazu lord achieved during the Edo period; he was matched only by Shimazu Narioki, and exceeded only by Shimazu (Tadatsune) Iehisa.[1]
He was succeeded by his son Shimazu Tsugutoyo. Two of his other sons, Shimazu Tadaakira and Shimazu Tadanori, became heads of the Imaizumi and Shigetomi branch families, respectively.
