Ijuin Tadazane

• Birth: 1568
• Death: 1602
• Distinction: Shimazu retainer

Tadazane was the eldest son of Ijuin Tadamune. Although his father was killed for conspiratorial actions in 1599, he was allowed to remain a Shimazu retainer owing to the intercession of Tokugawa Ieyasu. However, on a 10/2/1602 hunting expedition he was murdered, apparently on Shimazu Tadatsune's orders. A number of his close allies were afterwards put to death as well.
