Gekkô-in was a daughter of Shôda Gentetsu Akinori, consort of [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Ienobu]], and mother of Shogun [[Tokugawa Ietsugu]].
She was the third of Ienobu's concubines to give him a son, after [[Okomu no kata]] and [[Osume no kata]]. However, these two previous boys died at the ages of two months and two years, respectively. Gekkô-in's son Nabematsu survived to be named shogun at the age of three, upon Ienobu's death in [[1712]].
