Sengoku Hisatoshi was the last [[Edo period]] ''[[daimyo|daimyô]]'' of [[Izushi han]] in [[Tajima province]].

Born in [[1820]], he became lord of Izushi in [[1825]], at the age of five. The domain's ''[[kokudaka]]'' at that time was 58,000. However, as the result of a [[O-Ie Sodo|political dispute]] within the Sengoku household, Izushi was stripped of nearly half its ''kokudaka''; for the remainder of the Edo period, the domain (and the ''daimyô'') were recognized as being only of 30,000 ''koku'' rank.

Hisatoshi remained lord of Izushi through this dispute, however, up until the fall of the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] in [[1867]]. Due to having become lord at such a young age, Hisatoshi eventually became the longest-serving of the lords attached to the ''yanagi-no-ma'' of [[Edo castle]], a distinction that brought with it a certain degree of prestige and privilege. As a result of that distinction, he was the first of the ''yanagi-no-ma daimyô'' to be granted an audience on any particular occasion, and the first to be granted leave, as well as serving as the head of the group in certain ways, e.g. in terms of speaking for all the ''yanagi-no-ma daimyô'', or passing along instructions or directions to them.
