Hotta Masasuke was a ''daimyô'' of [[Yamagata han]] and [[Sakura han]], who served as ''[[Jisha bugyo|Jisha bugyô]]'' (Shrines Magistrate), ''[[Osaka jodai|Osaka jôdai]]'', and a member of the ''[[roju|rôjû]]'' over the course of his career. He was also known as a [[tea master]] of the [[Kobori Enshu|Enshû]] school, and collector of famous tea implements.

He succeeded his adoptive father [[Hotta Masaharu]] to become lord of [[Yamagata han]] in [[1731]]; after some time serving the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] as ''Jisha bugyô'' and ''Osaka jôdai'', he was named to the ''rôjû'' in [[1745]]. The following year, the [[Hotta clan]] was transferred from Yamagata to the 100,000 ''[[koku]]'' domain of [[Sakura han]], in [[Shimousa province]].

Following his death at the age of 50, in [[1761]], he was buried at [[Jindai-ji]], in [[Sakura (city)|Sakura]], and was succeeded as lord of Sakura by his son [[Hotta Masanari]].
